UK-Japan Transition Finance Forum 2026

Japan has pioneered transition bonds at both sovereign and corporate levels, while the UK is formalising its Transition Finance Guidelines. Both countries are championing interoperable standards to support credible net-zero pathways, particularly for emerging economies that need to balance growth and decarbonisation.

With transition finance gaining momentum, this forum will move beyond theory to look at real-world applications. The event will cover:

• The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's launch of the TOKYO Resilience Bond — the world's first resilience bond certified under the expanded Climate Bonds Standard
• Insights from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and GX Acceleration Agency on Japan’s transition bonds and approach to blended finance
• The latest on the UK’s Transition Finance Guidelines
• Expert panels exploring how transition bonds can cut the carbon footprints of high-emitting sectors and unlock new opportunities for global investors

The event is free to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.

Event details are subject to change.
