	Jul 6, 2021	»	When the first Green Bonds were issued in the late 2000s, no one imagined the demand to come. The first public offering was done by IFC and it sold out in only a few hours. Since then, Green Bonds have grown from around $2.5 billion in 2012 over $270 billion in 2020 with analysts projecting even further growth this year. Today, bonds are sought out as an investment option by pensions funds, insurers, and central banks, but according to Sean Kidney, CEO at the Climate Bonds Initiative and IFC's Treasurer John Gandolfo, their greatest potential may lie in their ability to change the terms of the debate.

	Jun 23, 2021	»	Augmenting investment into agriculture offers enormous potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The land use sector receives only 2.5% of public mitigation finance yet is responsible for up to about 25% of global emissions. Only 0.9% of green bond investment is directed towards land use. The Agriculture Criteria will assist in creating new capital flows into the sector with a new science-based framework that includes definitions and a screening mechanism for projects, assets, and activities against which both issuers and investors can assess green bonds. The qualifying projects and assets will be eligible for Certification under the Climate Bonds Standard. The Climate Bonds Initiative sees a role for the $100 trillion bond market in addressing the huge funding needs of the global agriculture sector.	.. Info or Registration »

	Jun 8, 2021	»	Expanding and upgrading electricity grid and storage infrastructure is crucial to meeting the steep decarbonisation goals for energy systems. More flexible and distributed systems are needed to bring about clean electricity. At the same time, this infrastructure is vital for the decarbonisation of other sectors. For industrial sectors or buildings, electrification is a key means to achieving that. The dependence of so many sectors and societies on stable electricity provision makes grid resilience essential. This webinar will discuss Climate Bonds' development of criteria for the transmission and distribution of electricity (i.e. Grids). Laying out the rationale and direction behind this criteria, we are seeking engagement from reviewers around the world to feed into our public consultation process for these Criteria.	..

	Jun 8, 2021	»	Green Bond investors are not exempt from the foreign exchange risks in their portfolios. Besides, risks cannot be eliminated; however, they can be transferred through different financial structures or derivative products provided by the leading financial institutions. This is particularly true in well-developed and liquid capital markets but not so in emerging markets. To tackle this challenge, TCX Fund offers global solutions to manage currency risk in developing and frontier markets for local currencies. This allows investors and bond issuers to protect themselves from any currency volatility. Climate Bonds Initiative is aware of this risk and the critical role that hedging opportunities can play in developing the sustainable financial market in Latin America. FX hedging solution can help drive down the cost of capital for climate projects in the region and increase international investor's interest.	.. Info or Registration »
