New EIB $148m Climate Bond / Climate Bond talks galore: London LSE 19 Apr; Oslo 2 May; NYC Env Bonds Conf 23 May; Toronto 25 May

> The European Investment Bank issued a 7 year, 3%, SEK1 billion ($148m) Climate Awareness Bond last week. Underwriters were SEB (Christopher Flensborg is at it again) and Deutsche Bank. Looks like Swedish funds continue to have appetite for climate and green bonds.

> Climate Bond talks are everywhere this Spring:

• Nick Silver is running a private climate finance session at an LSE Grantham Institute seminar in London this week (19 Apr).

I'm is speaking in Oslo on 2 May at a half day seminar on Climate Bonds and Standards hosted by DNV.

Kirsten Spalding (Standards Board/INCR), Mike Wilkins (Standards Industry Working Group/S&P) and I are all speakers at the NYC Environmental Bonds Conference on 23 May. (25% discount for readers of this email).

I'm speaking at a Climate Bonds breakfast event in Toronto on 25 May.
