ClientEarth’s paper sets out clear guidelines for policymakers to plug the global regulatory gap in climate transition financing and tackle the rise of greenwashing in the market.

The paper is the first in-depth analysis of ‘transition-washing’, or greenwashing, in labelled transition finance. It recommends practical policy measures to raise market standards and ensure capital flows to companies that are genuinely transitioning, so that policymakers can unlock the potential of labelled transition finance in the race to net zero.
