Our Impact

Driving global change: Empowering governments, inspiring investors, and growing markets

Our mission is to mobilise global capital for climate action. Global warming is limited to 1.5°C and societies and ecosystems are resilient to the impacts of climate change.
 

1. Expanding our global reach

We drive change on a global scale, working in key regions like China, India, and Brazil while fostering sustainable finance across all markets worldwide. 

We’ve supported the development of nearly 20 science-based taxonomies globally, ensuring our influence contributes to systemic change, and maximising our impact. 

2. Shaping policies and markets

Our science-aligned frameworks and expert advice:

• Influence global policies, including the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy.
• Shape key markets in countries like China and Japan.

Through data, analysis, and policy insights, we drive the growth and credibility of green and sustainable finance.

3. Building connections for a resilient future

Resilient societies are essential for stable economies. That’s why we emphasise adaptation and recovery as critical to addressing irreversible climate impacts.

As the leading international organisation mobilising capital for climate action, we connect governments, investors, and issuers to make climate finance the foundation of a low-carbon, resilient future.

Together, we are transforming financial systems to deliver meaningful climate action.

Our funders

The Climate Bonds Initiative and the Climate Bond Standards Scheme are funded by grants from our partners like non-profit and public organisations, revenue from public sector project contracts, and by subscription fees from the Climate Bonds Network Membership program.

A small amount of revenue also comes from Climate Bonds Certification fees.
