A 2022 paper which highlights how an innovative public-private programme that focuses on Northern Ireland’s housing stock can help to fund an equitable low-carbon economy, through the use of a ‘Just Transition Bond’. This would be similar to a Green, Social and Sustainability (GSS) use-of-proceeds bond but the proceeds would be specifically aligned to just transition outcomes. The paper sets out how the bond could be structured and how it could catalyse momentum for just transition finance in Northern Ireland.

A 2021 collection of essays and papers which provides modelling and analysis that begin to answer some of the following questions: Can “net zero” be a net positive for Indian and global growth? And what are the development pathways that must be put into place in the next few years to turn this new climate ambition into a new, greener development paradigm? What are the changes to the multilateral architecture, to international regulation, and to local laws that must be undertaken if ambitious targets are to be achieved — or, indeed, exceeded? And how can we ensure that the transition is just and inclusive? [Originally posted at https://www.orfonline.org/research/shaping-our-green-future/]
