近日，气候债券倡议组织(CBI) 与联合国减少灾害风险办公室（UNDRR）共同发布了《气候韧性分类框架》白皮书，为气候韧性融资提供了最新的全球指引。在过去十几年中， CBI通过绿色/可持续金融分类标准（Taxonomy）的制定在促进绿色和可持续金融发展方面积攒了丰富的经验。为进一步面对气候危机带来的挑战，CBI 计划将分类标准拓展到气候韧性方面，助力资金流向提高气候韧性的基础设施等项目和活动。该报告得到了Cadlas公司的技术支持。
CBI诚挚邀请各界对白皮书提出反馈和意见，并邀请更多行业专家和学者共同参与气候韧性分类方案的制定。
促进气候韧性投资的必要性和紧迫性
IPCC 于2022年发布的第六次气候变化评估报告指出，气候变化将给生态和人类带来严重的自然灾害，预计33亿到36亿人将生活在极易受气候变化影响的环境中。联合国环境规划署(UNEP)估计，到2030年， 仅发展中国家在气候适应和韧性方面的融资需求将达到每年三千亿美元的规模。
然而，目前流向气候适应与韧性相关项目的资金远不足以满足该领域的资金需求。截至2022年底，CBI在目前已发行的33,849只绿色、社会责任、可持续等（GSS+）债务工具中，仅识别出6,494只（或19%）在一定程度上与气候韧性相关。

In May 2023, EU institutions signed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will enter into application in its transitional phase in October 2023.
The CBAM tariff system places a levy on certain carbon-intensive goods (like steel and cement), equalising the price of carbon paid for EU products and the one for imported goods. Ultimately, therefore, the CBAM aspires to build a ‘green’ level playing field.
More than just another acronym: what is the new EU CBAM?
