The Transition Finance Council

The Transition Finance Council was co-launched by the City of London Corporation and HM Government. The Council serves as a monitoring and driving force for the Transition Finance Market Review recommendations, convening key stakeholders and supporting continued capacity building and collaboration. The Council’s aim is to leverage the UK’s existing strengths to become the best place in the world to credibly raise transition capital, invest, and obtain financial and professional services in support of UK and global net zero ambitions.  

The Council includes representation from the financial and professional services sectors, real economy, government, regulators, standard setters, and civil society.  

Lord Alok Sharma has been appointed as Chair of the Council. Irem Yerdelen, Lead Member for Sustainable Finance at the City Corporation will be the Deputy-Chair.
