Climate Bonds Initiative is an international organisation working solely to mobilise the largest capital market of all, the $100 trillion bond market, for climate change solutions.
 

They promote investment in projects and assets necessary for a rapid transition to a low carbon and climate resilient economy.
 

The strategy is to develop a large and liquid Green and Climate Bonds Market that will help drive down the cost of capital for climate projects in developed and emerging markets; to grow aggregation mechanisms for fragmented sectors; and to support governments seeking to tap debt capital markets.

Climate Bonds Initiative is an investor-focused not-for-profit. Their work therefore is an open source public good and falls into three workstreams.

Climate Bonds Initiative & China Central Depository & Clearing Co. Ltd Research Centre (CCDC Research), with the support of HSBC, have launched the ChinaGreen Bond Market 2019 Research report in Beijing.

The report analyses the key developments in the world’s largest source of labelled green bonds, focusing on green bond issuance, policy development & wider market growth. 

Total green bond issuance from China during 2019 reached USD55.8bn (RMB386.2bn), a 33% increase from the USD42bn (RMB282.6bn) in 2018. China, the USA & France led the annual country rankings once again by the total amount of labelled green bonds.

Climate Bonds has released Version 3.0 of the international Climate Bonds Standard; a significant development for green finance.

​

Standard V3.0 incorporates major upgrades to the existing umbrella guidance for Climate Bonds Certification to meet market growth and demand for enhanced reporting, transparency and harmonisation around green definitions.

​

Climate Bonds Certification provides assurance for issuers and investors that a green debt product meets labelling requirements for major global jurisdictions, is science-based and is aligned with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement to limit warming to under 2 degrees.
