What International Transition Plan Network (ITPN) does

The International Transition Plan Network (ITPN) is a UK-based non-profit collaborative network and dialogue platform founded in November 2024 at COP29 by the team behind the Transition Plan Taskforce Secretariat, with delivery supported by E3G (Third Generation Environmentalism). ITPN brings together leaders from over 30 public sector organisations — including finance ministries, regulators, supervisors and international regulatory forums — across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America, alongside an Associate Member tier of standard setters and private sector representative networks, an Advisory Group of eleven named figures from organisations including GFANZ, Oxford Sustainable Finance Group, UNEP-FI and Temasek, and a Community of Practice comprising civil society, academia and convenors such as CDP, Ceres, TNFD and WWF.

ITPN's core outputs are a dialogue platform rather than a software product suite. Key resources include the Interactive Map tracking transition plan requirements across 46 jurisdictions (as of June 2026), the Learning & Exchange Series of confidential webinars for public sector officials, and the TPT Legacy materials — including the Disclosure Framework and sector guidance — now hosted by the IFRS Foundation on its Sustainability Knowledge Hub. Publication cadence has accelerated through 2025–2026 with reports on mobilising transition finance, sector transition plans, and institutional investor use of transition plans. The network does not charge membership or participation fees and operates on philanthropic funding routed through E3G, with a staff team of approximately 13 based in London.

The business model is philanthropic grant funding channelled via E3G, with no commercial pricing, no membership fees, and no proprietary software. Go-to-market is community-led: ITPN convenes official sector members and a wider ecosystem of standard setters, civil society, academia and convenors to develop shared global norms for private sector climate transition plans. Private sector organisations are represented through private sector representative networks rather than as individual participants, and ITPN explicitly does not aim to duplicate existing private sector convenors.
