Integrating just transition principles and considerations in financing activities
The workshop focuses on embedding Just Transition considerations into financing activities, ensuring that our financial decisions support a fair and inclusive shift towards a sustainable economy.
This project is organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO) with financial support of the European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, under the Trade for Decent Work Programme.
Funded by the European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is hosting an in-person workshop to build upon recent findings from a just transition and financial sector mapping in the Philippines and leverage ILO research, expertise and tools such as the Just Transition Finance Tool for banking and investing activities and the Just Transition Finance – Pathways for Banking and Insurance specifically targeted at the financial sector actors.
This workshop aims to equip financial sector professionals in the Philippines with the knowledge and tools to integrate just transition principles into their operations. Participants will learn to manage sustainability-related risks, identify commercial opportunities in the green transition, and support inclusive economic development. The program includes presentations, group exercises, and case studies, leveraging ILO’s research and tools like the Just Transition Finance Tool.
