Bonjour! from Paris, which is currently buzzing with climate change enthusiasts and hopeful negotiators as the COP21 ends its first week.
And what a week at Le Bourget it’s been. From some of the discussions it looks like green bonds are firmly on the climate finance agenda.
The FOUR 2015 headlines everyone should take away:
1) Green bonds are financing a range of green projects – from renewable energy to sustainable water.
COP21 Update: every Paris finance session talking green bonds as 2015 cracks $40bn; We’ve created a short green bonds briefing especially for busy people at COP with the headlines that matter.
