Join us on April 2nd for a Climate Bonds webinar, discussing and dissecting new recommendations on transparency and reporting in the GSS bond market. The Transparency & Reporting in the GSS Bond Market Report is a comprehensive study of post-issuance reporting in the GSS bond market, aimed at enabling a healthy and transparent market. Climate Bonds have suggested a list of recommendations for high-quality and standardised reporting, but propose these four elements as a minimum:

1: Scope – report allocations and impact.

2: Bond identification – clearly state the scope of reports in terms of instruments and period covered, percentage of proceeds allocated and impact. 3: Accessibility to disclosure.

4: Frequency and timing. Our host Clodagh Muldoon, Head of Research at Climate Bonds Initiative and our esteemed panellists will assess the key details from this USD1.4 trillion sample and what this means for future market reportage.

In 2023, a common concern in our meetings with the financial community was confusion over the many transition assessment methodologies, each claiming to be better. This issue is now central to most of our 2024 discussions, especially with corporates feeling torn between competing approaches. Mike Coffin’s note, using the Oil & Gas sector as a case study, addresses key questions: • What are transition plans? • Why mandate them? • How do they differ across sectors? • How should they impact investment decisions? • Is there too much focus on emissions? It offers practical markers and metrics for portfolio managers to assess transition risks and provides tools for engagement with investment teams and corporates. We hope this guide will also assist financial regulators and policymakers in clarifying the intent behind transition plan requests.

The Climate Bonds Initiative invites you to a Lunch & Learn session featuring the newly developed Agriculture Production (Crop and Livestock) Criteria, now available for certification under the Climate Bonds Standard. This engaging event will provide an in-depth overview of the criteria, which offer a comprehensive framework for reducing emissions in agriculture, one of the most emission-intensive sectors globally. We will explore how these criteria support sustainable practices across key areas such as deforestation prevention, biodiversity protection, and improvements in water use and animal welfare. Join us to learn how the criteria align with global sustainability frameworks like the Paris Agreement and the Global Methane Pledge, and how they can help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable agricultural future.

The climate transition requires large-scale mobilisation of private capital to transition energy systems, build resilient infrastructure, and develop sustainable communities. Some of the greatest sustainable investment challenges Iie in developing the market conditions, the de-risking provisions, and the financial structures needed to enable private capital to flow to crucial transition investments. Development finance institutions are a key player in this, maximising their mobilisation capabilities could hugely accelerate sustainable investment flows across the world. If all DFIs were to double the current best efforts on mobilisation, levels would increase to EUR740bn per year, having a major impact on global climate finance levels, which currently stand at just over EUR1tn/year. Climate Bonds’ recent report outlines a wide range of ways that DFIs, their shareholders, and policymakers can increase private capital mobilisation for green. In this webinar we’ll be unpacking these recommendations and hearing from experts from BII, BIO [and EBRD] on their experiences in mobilising capital.

イベント概要

日本政府は、2050年までのカーボン・ニュートラルと2030年までに2013年比で46%の排出削減、さらに50%の高みを目指すという中間目標を掲げています。政府はグリーントランスフォーメーション(GX)を実現するために、今後10年間で20兆円規模の政府の先行投資、150兆円を超える官民のGX投資を目指しており、その足がかりとして2024年2月、5月にクライメート・トランジション利付国債を発行しました。

こうした投資の流れをさらに加速させ、あらゆるステークホルダーが一丸となってトランジション(着実な脱炭素化に向けた移行)を推し進めていくためには、1.5℃目標と科学的根拠に基づく信頼性の高いトランジション計画の策定、開示、評価が求められます。

本ウェビナーでは、IGESとClimate Bonds Initiativeが共同で7月にリリースした「トランジション戦略ツールキット」のガイダンスと原則に学びながら、日本の企業の日々のトランジション推進で活用されることを目指して、政策立案者、投資家、NGOの視点から、強固で信頼できるトランジション戦略とは何かを議論します。そして、そうした戦略の策定・運用・評価の方法、適切な情報開示を実践するために必要なことは何かを深堀りします。

対象者

本ウェビナーは、サステナブルファイナンスに一定の関心を持ち、債券市場について基礎的な知識を有する方々を対象として想定しています。トランジションファイナンスやトランジション計画の策定・評価に関わる投資家や企業の担当者に向けた内容です。
