    CLIMATE BONDS FOR NEW ENERGY

    New Initiative to Bring in Trillion Dollar Bond Markets to Finance the Low Carbon Economy
    15 March 2011 (Climate Bond Initiative)

    "The Climate Bonds Initiative announced the count down to the world’s first Climate Bond issuance - worth a quarter of a billion US dollars - with the release of the draft Compliance Standards today that will assure the environmental integrity of bonds issued to fund low carbon projects. The first version of the Standard will apply to wind energy.

    "The Climate Bond Initiative’s Standards break new ground by providing independently verified assurance to institutional investors that the proceeds of such bonds are being used to build the low carbon economy, and will not be diverted…[T]he first wind energy Standard-compliant Climate Bond issuance of over a quarter of a billion dollars is being prepared for release and is expected to be launched in May this year."

    "The Climate Bonds Initiative’s Standard will also provide a useful tool for project aggregators, as they will be able to acquire different clean energy investments using compliance with certified Standards as a filter. That will make it easier to hold investments with different underlying technologies, such as wind, solar or biomass, in a single portfolio that could then be securitised to attract large investors…"
