European Green Bond Investor Survey 2019

November 2019

This is Climate Bonds Initiative’s first green bond investor survey in a planned series. We talked with 48 of the largest Europe-based investment managers. Total assets under management (AUM) of respondents was EUR13.7tn, and their total fixed income AUM EUR4.3tn, with an average of EUR90bn and median of EUR34bn. 

The aim was to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the fixed income investment community is addressing or intending to address climate change through investment decisions, and to identify approaches that would accelerate global green bond issuance.

The survey was undertaken with supporting analysis from Henley Business School of Reading University and sponsored by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Credit Suisse, Danske Bank and Lyxor Asset Management.

The Climate Bonds Taxonomy

November 2018

(The Taxonomy was updated in January 2020)

The Climate Bonds Taxonomy is a guide to climate aligned assets and projects. It is a tool for issuers, investors, governments and municipalities to help them understand what the key investments are that will deliver a low carbon economy. 

The Taxonomy is grounded in the latest climate science and has been developed through an extensive multistakeholder approach, leveraging the work of our Technical and Industry Working Groups.

The Forestry Criteria

July 2018

The Forestry Criteria lay out the requirements that forestry infrastructure assets or projects must meet to be eligible for inclusion in a Certified Climate Bond. The bond must also meet the reporting and transparency requirements of the overarching Climate Bonds Standard in order to receive Certification.

Webinar: Introduction to Climate Bonds Standard’s Solar Criteria: Who Can Use It? What's Included? What's the Potential? Hear from the Experts

Investment in solar is growing as costs come down, technology improves and energy policies shift towards renewables. But clean energy development still needs a huge increase in funding and scale.

As part of this, we are seeing solar based green bonds now being Climate Bond Certified from Australia to India to Germany.  

The next Webinar in our 2016 Green Bonds 101 Series looks at the Climate Bonds Solar Criteria and asks:

• What’s involved in Solar Criteria certification?
• Can solar bonds help shift investment into the hundreds of billions?
• Does certification encourage investors to back solar green bonds?

This webinar covered:

• What is a solar bond?
• Who can issue a solar bond?
• How do they get Certified? 
• The value of Certification?
• What does the Climate Bonds Standard measure?
• Evolution in Transparency and Disclosure:  self statement, second opinion, third party verification
• Evolution in Standards:  self-set, principles, indices, voluntary standards, mandatory regulations
• Real life solar project examples: Rooftop PV securities, large scale solar parks, integrating solar with green building design and more
• Q&A
