Australian climate finance report recommends Climate Bonds

The Australian Conservation Foundation has just released a useful new report, "Funding the transition to a clean energy economy" (see http://goo.gl/AGPdQ). Among other things, the report recommends the Australian Government issue Climate Bonds, tied directly to financing clean energy.

 

Interestingly, the report contains a foreword and endorsement by Nathan Fabian, CEO of the Investor Group on Climate Change, representing superannuation (pension) funds and asset managers with approximately $600 billion under management. That's quite an endorsement!

The Australian Conservation Foundation is the country'speak environmental organisation.
