What is the Climate Bonds Taxonomy and why should I learn about it?

The green bond market has been growing rapidly since 2015 and the milestone of $1trillion in green finance by end 2020 is increasingly seen as a target for global finance to deliver.

Against this backdrop, issuers, investors and policy makers want improved guidance on what assets or projects should be financed with green finance, and what should not.

The Climate Bonds Taxonomy identifies the assets and projects needed to deliver a low carbon economy and gives screening criteria consistent with limiting warming to 2-degrees; i.e. in-line with the Paris Agreement.

The 2018 version of the Taxonomy has been developed based on the latest climate science including research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). 

It has also benefited from the input of hundreds of technical experts from around the world who work with us to identify assets and projects that are aligned with a 2-degree trajectory via sector specific Technical and Industry Working Groups.

The Taxonomy can be used by any entity looking to identify which assets, projects or activities are compatible with a 2-degree trajectory. It is a particularly useful tool for investors interested in green bonds and issuers (or potential issuers) in the market.

 

And the Green Bond Database Methodology?  

The green bond database methodology is the screening process used to populate Climate Bonds’ Green Bond Database.

These webinars will help you get up to speed on the Methodology (released in September 2018). The discussion will cover the classification criteria and screening process to identify whichgreen debt instruments are eligible for inclusion in the Green Bond Database. 

The updated Methodology aligns with the new version of the Climate Bonds Taxonomy.

 

The last word

There’s more to come in 2019 with Criteria rollouts, the launch of our umbrella Standards V3.0 and talking up the Taxonomy in new locations.  

We’d like to undertake more in-person Roundtables in early 2019 and host one in your city. If you’re interested, please get in touch. 

 

'Till next time, 

Climate Bonds. 

 

气候债券分类方案和绿色债券数据库方法论：立即注册我们的网络研讨会

今年九月，我们发布了新版的气候债券分类方案和绿色债券数据库方法论。请您注册参加我们的网络研讨会，我们将介绍有关气候债券分类方案和绿色债券数据库方法论的更多信息！

什么是气候债券分类方案，为什么要了解它？

自2015年以来，绿色债券市场一直在快速增长，到2020年实现绿色金融的1亿美元里程碑越来越被视为全球金融业的目标。在此背景下，发行人、投资者和政策制定者希望更好地指导哪些资产或项目应该通过绿色金融融资。分类方案确定了实现低碳经济所需的资产和项目，并给出了能将全球升温限制在2度以内的筛选标准，即与“巴黎协定”一致。

2018年版的分类方案是根据最新的气候科学而开发的，包括政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）和国际能源署（IEA）的研究。它还得益于来自世界各地的数百名技术专家的投入，我们与这些专家合作，通过特定的技术和行业工作组确定符合2度目标排放轨迹的资产和项目。

对于任何想要识别与2度排放目标兼容的资产、项目和活动的机构，都可以使用气候债券分类方案。对市场中的绿色债券发行人（或潜在发行人）感兴趣的投资者而言，它是一个尤其有用的工具。

 

什么是绿色债券数据库方法论？

绿色债券数据库方法论是用于气候债券倡议组织绿色债券数据库的筛选过程。

欢迎加入我们的网络研讨会，以帮助您快速了解气候债券倡议组织的新版绿色债券数据库方法论（2018年9月发布）。讨论将涵盖分类标准和筛选过程，以确定哪些绿色债务工具有资格纳入绿色债券数据库。更新后的方法论与气候债券分类方案的最新版本保持一致。

 

结语

欢迎加入我们在线网络研讨会，了解气候债券分类方案和绿色债券数据库方法论。

我们计划在未来一年在其城市举办更多线下的圆桌讨论，所以请您持续关注我们！如果您希望在您的城市举办一场研讨会，请与我们联系。
