The report, commissioned by HSBC, is the only one to analyse and estimate the size of the wider climate bonds universe which goes beyond the much-publicised ‘labelled’ green bond market and includes all bonds that finance climate change solutions.
We are leaking some key figures before the launch and here is a taste:
- Total climate-themed bonds universe = $502.6bn (last year’s figure was $346bn)
- The labelled Green Bonds market accounts for $35.8bn of this figure
- 47% of the climate-themed bond universe meets index requirements on size, currency and rating
The event will include a presentation of report findings by the Climate Bonds Initiative as well as a panel discussion on opportunities in Europe and key issues faced by investors and issuers in investing in and growing this market.
