As part of this afternoon’s Paris launch of our 2016 State of the Market report, we have produced a two-page overview of the French climate-aligned bond universe. Available in both French and English, the analysis contains the latest data from both the labelled and unlabelled green bond markets, alongside an overview of the latest French green bond policy developments.
