Consultation period for Climate Bonds Standard v2.0 extended to 30 Sept. Designed to support green credentials while keeping cost of transaction low. Incorps Green Bond Principles

Posted: Sep 3, 2015

As you may recollect, we published on 17 July the draft of version 2.0 of the Climate Bonds Standard. The updated text has three key improvements:

  1. A more robust assurance framework that is more practical and efficient
  2. Fully integrates the latest version of the Green Bond Principles
  3. Makes annual reporting requirements more explicit.

We've had a lot of great, positive and very useful feedback - thank you!

The consultation period is due to end on 14 September. But a few folks have asked if they can have more time to comment, and we are keen to get as much input as possible - so we've extended the closing date for comment until 30 September 2015.

You can review the text here.

Comments will then go for review to meetings of the Climate Bond Standards Assurance Working Group on 3 October and the Climate Bonds Legal Working Group meeting on 8 October; and finally to the Climate Bond Standards Board for final decision.
