Webinar: What is ‘Green’ in a Bond, Why Labels Count, the Growing Role of Standards. Friday 10th June.

Climate Bonds Webinars on Friday 10th June

Following COP21 in Paris, green bonds are being highlighted as an investment option to assist nations in bridging the climate finance gap and meeting their carbon reduction commitments.

But what makes a bond ‘Green’? Behind the label there are continuing developments around standards, certification, market transparency and disclosure.

As the green bond market grows towards USD 100s of billions, the next Webinar in our 2016 Green Bonds 101 Series asks:

What makes a Bond ‘Green’?

Why Develop Green Bond Standards?

What do they Measure?

Do Investors Really Care?

 

Climate Bonds is often asked these questions, in this Webinar we provide some answers. 

Join us to learn more from Climate Bonds Initiative experts, followed by a Q&A session.
