Climate Bonds Initiative
The Climate Bonds Initiative is an investor-focused not-for-profit working to mobilize bond markets for climate change solutions. Climate change solutions involve a rapid transition to a low-carbon and climate resilient economy. We aim to reduce the cost of capital for climate related investments, while at the same time seeing the creation of safe and secure investments suitable to the needs of pension and insurance funds. www.climatebonds.net
