Collaborate and contribute to the global transition to a low-carbon economy

Research Partnerships

Climate Bonds partners with research organisations worldwide to harmonise approaches to decarbonisation and methane abatement. Since its inception, these collaborations have advanced the science and practice of sustainable finance.

Network Membership

The Climate Bonds Network provides access to opportunities for learning, collaboration, and visibility in sustainable finance. Members benefit from exclusive tools, resources, sponsorship discounts, and bespoke expert training designed to build organisational capacity for impact.

Technical Working Groups (TWGs)

Technical Working Groups bring together experts from academia, industry, international agencies, and NGOs to support the development of science-based Sector Criteria for low-carbon investments. Their work includes drafting research briefs, preparing discussion papers, and recommending criteria to the Climate Bonds Standards Board.

Industry Working Groups (IWGs)

Industry Working Groups comprise companies and industry associations that contribute sector-specific insights to ensure the Climate Bonds Standard is practical and enables rapid market adoption. These groups provide diverse perspectives on the Standard, the Certification Scheme, and verification processes, helping shape criteria that balance industry needs with climate objectives.
