Status: The criteria for Marine Fisheries had been worked on for some time before it became clear that it required much more data in order for decisions on thresholds to be made. In addition, the demand from issuers is not sufficient. As such, work on this criteria is now on hold. In order for others to benefit from the work done to date, it has been written up in order to provide initial pointers for what would be required for a restart to be considered.
- Position paper on the potential for developing criteria and green definitions for low carbon fishing
These Criteria were developed by a Technical Working Group (TWG). They recognise the diversity of countries, issuers and verifiers as well as the potential for secondary use of the Climate Bonds Standard by other entities such as Green Climate Fund, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs and impact investors. Many of the individuals represented here were also involved in the development of the Marine renewable Energy criteria.
