About Us

The International Transition Plan Network (ITPN) was launched at COP29 to support the development of global norms for private sector climate transition plans and drive climate policies that leverage the full potential of these plans.

As a growing network, ITPN brings together leaders from over 30 public sector organisations such as finance ministries and regulators from across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America. It is bolstered by a wider global community of civil society and academic experts and supports public-private collaboration. 

It is a collaborative platform for dialogue, fostering the creation of shared solutions and approaches for effective private sector transition planning. The ITPN pushes thought leadership and supports the development of new collaborative partnerships.

The Opportunity

Creating and disclosing strategic plans for climate transition is a relatively new market practice which is rapidly becoming a market norm. The momentum around private sector transition planning creates an unprecedented opportunity to support strategic planning by firms for global whole-of-economy transition.

Transition plans and planning are under discussion by regulators and supervisors around the world, with jurisdictions working to avoid fragmentation of approaches between jurisdictions and across use cases while also seeking to design the best policy approaches to private sector transition planning.

The ITPN was launched to harness this opportunity.

Structure of the ITPN

The ITPN is made up of Members, an Advisory Group and a Community of Practice.

Members include Official Sector Members from the official sector, such as policymakers, government ministries, regulatory bodies and international regulatory forums. Over 30 of these public sector organisations participate in the ITPN. These include finance ministries and regulators from across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America. These members sit alongside a number of Associate Members, such as relevant standard setters and private sector convenors or representative networks.

The Advisory Group is made up of leading thinkers on transition plans across the official and private sectors as well as civil society and academia, appointed in their individual capacities. The Advisory Group provides challenge and advisory functions to the ITPN and ensures the ITPN is appropriately connected to work underway in other fora.

The Community of Practice consists of civil society, academia, convenors, networks and other organisations who have an important role to play in global thinking on transition plans and planning.

Private sector organisations are represented by private sector representative networks from finance and the real economy, rather than as individual ITPN participants.  The ITPN is not a private sector convenor and does not aim to duplicate the activities of existing private sector convenors.

Background

The ITPN is supported by E3G and was put in place by the team behind the Transition Plan Taskforce Secretariat. In its final report the TPT highlighted the necessity for shared global norms on transition plans and planning. The ITPN supports this mission through collaboration across governments, regulators, supervisions, private sector representatives, civil society and academia. The TPT’s mandate ended on 30th October 2024. It has now concluded its work. The IFRS Foundation has now assumed responsibility for the TPT’s disclosure materials. Other TPT materials and information on the TPT can be viewed at the TPT legacy website. E3G is an independent non-profit climate change think tank with a global outlook. E3G works on the frontier of the climate landscape, tackling the barriers and advancing the solutions to a safe climate. E3G’s goal is to translate climate politics, economics and policies into action.
