The Transition Valuation Project is a collaborative platform that provides insights and resources to guide capital allocation for transitions to net zero emissions and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Objectives
1. Identifying Information Needs
Pinpointing the specific data and insights capital allocators require to better value investments in sustainable transitions.
Evaluating how current standards and tools can be optimised to help investors effectively integrate impact into their valuation processes.
2. Assessing Standards and Tools
Evaluating how current standards and tools can be optimised to help investors effectively integrate impact into their valuation processes.
3. Sharing Ecosystem Insights
Transition Valuation
is a set of tools and standards for determining the value of corporations and assets within the Earth’s biocapacity. The primary purpose is to inform transition strategies and finance that reduce overshoot and create value. Operationally, this can be achieved through outcomes-based valuation models, for example: impact per share, outcomes-based net present value, or nature value at risk.
Activities and Outputs
Map the landscape of roles and responsibilities influencing SDG-aligned transition valuations.
Define and prioritise barriers that are slowing capital flows
Highlight solutions where relevant, once problems are clearly diagnosed - including impact valuation.
Develop and publish practical recommendations and pathways to build market confidence in SDG-aligned transition valuations.
Transition Valuation Report
The Transition Valuation Report is due in Q4 2026 and will follow a rigorous analysis of the latest, relevant, valid and reliable scientific and practitioner insights.
-
A) For asset owners with a systemic view: what will be valuable in the future, and how will that shape your decisions today?
B) Usability: How do capital allocators make decisions, and what information do they need?
C) If we know the information needs (B) for a systemic view (A), then how do current and emerging standards and tools meet those needs? What is missing and why?
D) Given the insights from questions A-C, what are the implications for funders and the key organisations receiving funding from them?
This work is designed to complement the Decisive Decade Half-Time Update. The results will be made available here:
How we can collaborate
We work with partner organisations to learn and advance the valuation of capital flows in terms of their positive and negative impacts on SDG-aligned transitions to net zero.
Private and Public Pension Funds:
Our focus is to understand and address the decision journey and information needs for investing pension capital in assets and companies, with regard to their transition pathways and their ambition, management and performance.
Multilateral Development Finance Institutions:
Our focus is to understand and address the decision journey and information needs for financing the just transition and implementation of policies for job growth and quality in public infrastructure and private market investments.
All System Participants:
To achieve the goals of the TVP, we work with all participants in the system - from beneficiary representatives, NGOs, government agencies, asset managers and solution providers.
