Lima, Peru, 11 December 2014: Today, The Climate Bonds Initiative, makes a full list of labelled green bonds publicly available for the first time. The list can be found on the Climate Bonds website. This is part of the Initiative’s effort to promote greater transparency in the green bonds market, a market that has trebled in size over the past year.
A couple of days ago in Lima I gave a speech at a UN Climate Conference event in the Chinese Government Pavilion, organised by my friend Prof. Wang Yao.
Swiss banking giant, Credit Suisse, has signed up as a Climate Bonds Partner.
John Tobin, Managing Director and Global Head of Sustainability at Credit Suisse AG said:
“At Credit Suisse we are aware of the risks of climate change and the need to develop capital market solutions that help with the rapid transition to a low-carbon and climate resilient economy. That will mean not only a huge expansion of public transport like railways, but also essential investments in everything from energy and water to sustainable food production.“
