Bongani Bingwa speaks to Nigel Beck, Head of Sustainable Finance and ESG at RMB, about the evolving landscape of transition finance — the bridge between today’s carbon-heavy economy and a greener, more inclusive future. As global leaders wrap up the B20 Energy Mix & Just Transition Task Force, Beck explains that while green finance is now widely understood, transition finance remains the missing link in helping Africa move toward net zero without leaving communities behind. He unpacks the key outcomes from the G20 discussions, the challenges of scaling up investment, and how banks like RMB are developing innovative financing models to support industries in shifting responsibly. The conversation also explores what makes a credible transition strategy — from Paris Agreement alignment and socio-economic inclusion to transparent reporting — highlighting how financial institutions can drive sustainable growth while ensuring a just transition for all.
