Agri-Food Transition

Status: Agri-Food transitions Criteria development has now commenced. Agriculture Criteria (Crop production and Livestock production), and Deforestation and Conversion Free Sourcing Criteria will be first under development and due to be available for Certification under the Climate Bonds Standard this year. The proposed new criteria will build upon existing Agriculture Criteria, which can already be used to certify assets and activities. ​

Agri-food systems play a pivotal role in the transition to net zero, both in terms of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Sustainable finance can help facilitate the measures that need to be taken, but action is needed to ensure that investments are credible and avoid ‘greenwashing’.

Climate Bonds has developed a set of Principles and Hallmarks, which provides a robust framework for an ambitious and inclusive approach to transition, applicable across all sectors.
