https://lnkd.in/dEM5Awef <<At TISE we have a sustainable finance segment, TISE Sustainable. Green, sustainable and sustainability-linked bonds, as well as sustainable issuers and ESG-rated companies, are admitted to the segment, which also caters for transition bonds and issuers, humanitarian catastrophe bonds, blue bonds and green funds. A buoyant rate of admissions to the segment in 2021 slowed during 2022 and into last year, mirroring conditions in the broader debt capital markets. The single admission to TISE Sustainable in the first half of 2023 was a sustainability-linked bond from Latin American telecoms brand, Liberty Costa Rica. >> #TISE #sustainable #bonds #humanitarian #green #funds #CostaRica #bluebonds #capital #markets #debt #LatinAmerican #brand

The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has warned the new government that the UK economy cannot be separated from net-zero. The business group stated that the next government can't be pro-growth and deliver for people and communities without being pro-green. A report published by the CBI entitled 'Going for Green' revealed that the next government could add as much as £57 billion to the UK economy from green growth by 2030. It outlined five steps to 'recharge' the economy, including: - Making net-zero part of a revitalised pitch for 'brand Britain' - Creating an Office for Net-Zero - Generating a Net-Zero Investment Plan - Making use of transformational technology -Backing rapid grid growth. Rain Newton-Smith, Director General of the CBI, said: 'With input and knowhow from every sector, we feed into government how it can fine-tune our economic performance, supercharge our strengths and help the UK get ahead of the competition and win in the race for green growth.' #accounting #accountancy #accountingservices #accountingandfinance #goinggreen #UK #CBI #TeamSwenta

📢 NGEU Green Bonds are expected to enable €264.6 billion of green investments in the nine sectors set out in the NGEU Green Bond Framework, including clean transport, clean energy and energy efficiency, confirming the EU's leading role in sustainable finance. The full implementation in the coming years of all measures that can be funded by NGEU Green Bonds will provide a significant contribution to the EU's green transition, reducing GHG emissions by an estimated 55 million tons per year within the Union. This is 1.5% of all GHG emissions in the EU and equivalent to the combined emissions of 15 million EU households or to replacing 38 million of the EU's 250 million internal combustion cars with electric vehicles.

The UK government has launched a green paper outlining its plans for its industrial strategy "aligned with" net zero to be published in spring 2025. The government also confirmed the total capitalisation for its National Wealth Fund, a public finance mechanism intended to provide catalytic finance for the UK’s transition to net zero. "Seizing the green growth opportunities of the future requires a strategic role for the state, actively shaping markets and working in partnership with businesses", says George Dibb at the IPPR. #nationalwealthfund #indutrialstrategy #UKnetzero https://lnkd.in/etRHqqvP

The financing of sustainability is tricky. The EU is trying hard to find the fine line balance on green bonds between high green standards and the reality of execution cost / participation. It’s the same issue in sustainable CRE, extended producer responsibility, and more. How far can the standards and frameworks push, without loosing stakeholders.
