NEW GSS+ COURSE in April! Register NOW!
As the leading fixed-income debt instrument, green bonds have also paved the way for the appearance of other thematic-labelled bonds. New labels and formats contributing to long-term environmental and social projects have arisen to further expand the labelled bond market, which is a clear signal that issuers and investors are highly committed to a greener, fairer, and more sustainable world. Join us in this comprehensive course on green, social, sustainability, sustainability-linked and transition (GSS+ bonds) tailored for a range of individuals who wish to gain a broad knowledge of these labels. Climate Bond Initiative’s GSS+ Bonds Training blends a set of elements and information which aim at providing an overview of thematic labelled bonds in a thorough and robust manner. The programme is suitable for introductory-level learners, individuals with knowledge and experience related to sustainable finance, or professionals working directly or indirectly with the issuance of new bonds at different levels of knowledge and experience.
Training dates: 18, 19 and 20 April 2023

Deep Dive in Taxonomies registrations are now OPEN!
Taxonomies are classification systems for sustainable financing that provide clarity and transparency to financial market participants, and other stakeholders, on priority investments across economic activities. Over the last few years, taxonomies have been developed by governments and regulators to help align investments with global and national commitments (e.g., to reduce GHG emissions) while enabling informed decision-making by investors and thus avoiding greenwashing.
As the first organisation worldwide to create a Green Taxonomy, the Climate Bonds Initiative has structured a comprehensive course to overview existing classification systems.
This Deep Dive presents the various approaches that have been developed as of now and the different objectives that are being sought through these instruments. It also provides an international overview and comparison by presenting global taxonomy developments based on the Climate Bonds Initiative’s experience developing its taxonomy and supporting other significant taxonomies worldwide. Additionally, it aims at helping market participants and other stakeholders better understand these tools, their usage, structure, etc., and help policymakers and the regulatory community in their reflections on the pertinence of classification systems. This training does not intend to prepare the audiences to develop their own taxonomies but to understand these instruments’ structure, objective, and use.
Training dates: 25 & 26 April 2023
