Following Climate Bonds' Green Bond Pricing report, we sit down with Caroline Harrison, Climate Bonds’ Head of Market Intelligence Research to find out what this sample study can tell us about green bond pricing and why investors are getting so excited about them.

With Climate Bonds’ recent launch of the 2022 Market Snapshot, we sit down with two members of Climate Bonds’ Market Intelligence Team; David Simms, the Lead Green Bond Analyst and Candace Partridge, the Social and Sustainability Bond Data Manager. We'll be talking about what they learned from 2022 and what’s got them very excited for 2023.

In the newest podcast episode we are welcoming Sean Kidney, CEO of Climate Bonds Initiative, Professor at SOAS University of London, Global Capital magazine’s “Most Influential Champion” of the sustainable finance market, Advisory Board Member of ISFC, and last but not least, our excellent CEE Sustainable Finance Summit speaker. This 35-minute discussion looks into the deeper meaning of value creation across our societies and how it relates to green bonds and other sustainability-linked financial instruments. Simply put, we need to urgently mobilise global capital for climate action - and we now have the tools to do so.
