Mobilising private finance for climate is a policy priority for the European Commission.
今天我在北京参与绿色市场讨论，并与各大商业银行会面。 在中国一切规模都是如此庞大，其中一家银行有超过30万员工和超过1万亿美元资产, 而央行则拥有40万员工！
我和我的朋友在北京市财政局开会 (位处于一楝20世纪70年代的建筑, 有点像我小时候高中学校的大楼) ，该局现正处理一个超过万亿美元的基础设施投资计划（针对新合并的京津冀经济区），受益人口约为120万。
这就像你无意中流浪到一个一切都是超级巨型的国度。
当然，这也是为什么中国的绿色债券市场将是超级大型的原因。
正如你可能记得，我们过去一年一直参与由中国人民银行首席经济学家马骏先生主导、并和UNEP Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial Market合作的绿色金融市场政策研究项目。
几个月前央行的副行长发布了该项目的研究报告，完成13项行动建议，其中之一: 惊喜！就是在中国发展绿色债券市场。
这些建议与那些被搁置在华盛顿或布鲁塞尔的研究项目不一样 - 他们正在执行！
上周央行的监管部门内部传阅了最新的绿色债券发行条例草案。是的，这将是市场的规范，当中甚至包括了“绿色”的定义。新规定草案将在秋天的某个时候完成编稿，但是由中国各大银行国际分支机构在海外的发行将不需要经过中国人民银行的审批，所以首先发行地有可能是在伦敦或香港（或两者同时）。
The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) runs the Green Star environmental rating system for buildings. The system is especially popular in Australia and, more recently, in South Africa.
GBCA has today joined up as a Climate Bonds Partner.
Today I’m in Beijing. I’ve just had a meeting with a humungous bank – everything is just so over-sized in this country, with this bank having over 300,000 staff and assets of more than US$1 trillion.
Evene the central bank has 400,000 staff for goodness sake! And my friends at the Beijing City Finance Bureau - still housed in a basic 1970s building a bit like the high school I went to - are now handling a trillion dollar infrastructure investment plan for 120 million people (in the newly merged economic zone of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei).
It’s like you’ve accidently wandered into a world of everything being super-upsized.

On Tuesday June 23rd, 2015, we are co-convening a one-day workshop with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and ACTIAM to have a deep-dive discussion on clear criteria and standards for Green Bonds, with a particular focus on how such criteria could be developed.
The workshop will actively engage with like-minded organisations that share a genuine concern about the potentially adverse effects of ‘green washing’ and are committed to enhancing the green bond market’s integrity.
