Climate Bonds Core Methodology for Data Products

The Climate Bonds Core Methodology for Data Products (the Core Methodology) establishes the shared methodological foundation for all Climate Bonds thematic debt datasets. It defines the principles, screening logic, and data architecture that govern how labelled debt instruments are captured, classified, and represented within the Climate Bonds suite of commercial products.


The Core Methodology constitutes the central layer of the Climate Bonds data methodology ecosystem, which also includes dataset-level methodologies and the internal screening library.
