DIRECTORY ENTRY: Climate Bonds Initiative

The Climate Bonds Initiative is an investor-focused not-for-profit, promoting large-scale investment in the low-carbon economy.

The Initiative is:

• Developing proposals for a financial architecture that will support the rapid application of debt funding for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
• Bringing the three key actors to the table – industry, investors and governments – to develop the basis of a tripartite agreement under the Climate Bonds concept.
• Demonstrating how to engineer investibility through scaled-up mitigation and adaptation pilot schemes in both developed and developing countries.

The Climate Bonds Initiative is a special project of:

• The Carbon Disclosure Project, an independent not-for-profit organisation that collects and distributes high quality corporate climate change information for integration into business and policy decision-making, and
• The Network for Sustainable Financial Markets, an international network of finance sector professionals, academics and others dedicated to improving financial market integrity and efficiency.
