Transition

1. Climate change - financial risks.

Abbreviation for climate transition, relating to financial risks that could arise from adjusting to a lower-carbon economy and net zero emissions.

In this context, financial climate transition is distinct from the direct physical risks of climate change.

2. Risk-free rates - LIBOR and related transitions - conduct.

In the context of risk-free rates, transition generally refers to the discontinuation of the former LIBOR and similar rates, and their replacement by other risk-free interest rates.

This type of transition is important both for non-financial corporates, and for financial institutions, for example in relation to conduct.

3. Other contexts.

Any other substantial and long term change.

Especially one carrying material risks and financial risks.
