The Transition Finance Council (TFC) was co-launched by the City of London Corporation and HM Government in February 2025. The purpose of the Council is to drive forward the roadmap and recommendations set out in the Transition Finance Market Review and to establish the UK as the global hub for raising and deploying transition finance.
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.
The Council is led by Chair the Rt Hon. Lord Alok Sharma KCMG, and Deputy Chair Irem Yerdelen, Lead Member for Sustainable Finance at the City Corporation.
The TFC has delivered a series of publications developed collaboratively with industry, finance, policymakers, and civil society. Aligned with our broader mission, they are designed to guide market practice, inform policy, and help unlock investment for real economy emissions reductions.
