DEEP DIVE IN TAXONOMIES

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.

COURSE CONTENT

To enhance the learning experience, we use a mix of structured theory, case studies, experience sharing, and practical exercises:

  • Introduction to taxonomies: rationale, definitions, purpose and benefits, taxonomy elements, applications, and global landscape
  • Overview of international practices: CBI Taxonomy, regional & national, sectoral prioritisation
  • Climate Bonds Initiative Taxonomy – detailed sector criteria analysis (3 sectors)
  • Taxonomies development process: pathways for taxonomies development and international harmonisation

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES

Participants in the training program can expect to acquire solid knowledge and be able to respond to the following questions at the end of the sessions:

  • What is a taxonomy?
  • What are the key benefits of a taxonomy?
  • What are the elements of a taxonomy?
  • What are the applications, and who are the users of a taxonomy?
  • What are the objectives, scope, and structure of existing international taxonomies?

  • How to prioritise sectors for taxonomy development?
  • What is the ideal pathway for taxonomy development?
