Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy

Adaptation and Resilience Finance

Climate resilience is a critical focus in our mission to mobilise global capital for climate action.  

Integrating resilience into our work helps ensure economic, social, and ecological systems are better equipped to withstand the impacts of climate change. 

Resilience as a cross-cutting theme

Resilience is embedded throughout our activities, from taxonomy development to sector criteria, enabling the identification and financing of investments that contribute to adaptation and climate resilience. 

Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy (interim)

A cornerstone of our resilience work is the Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy (CBRT), designed to provide clear guidance on what constitutes a credible and impactful resilient investment, and enable resilience action to be integrated into the broader sustainable finance market.  

The Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy is an interim tool, with initial identification of a large number of potential resilience investments across the economy with indicative associated criteria.  As we continue to work with our network of resilience experts, these indicative investments and criteria will be finalised, and those finalised elements will also be incorporated into the Climate Bonds Taxonomy – our master taxonomy for climate mitigation and resilience.

To note, investments listed in the CBRT can be Certified, following the requirements detailed in the Climate Bonds Standard v4.3.

The development of the Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy is being sponsored by Co-operators and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and supported by Cadlas, Lead Technical Partner of the Climate Bonds Resilience Programme.
