What a milestone! Introducing the world’s first climate-focused guarantee company. The Green Guarantee Company is on track to mobilize $1 billion for the aspirations of developing countries, providing guarantees for institutional investors buying listed green bonds and green loans issued in the private credit market. It’s a shining example of what the public and private sectors can achieve together—and another reminder of the power of Green Climate Fund investments.

🇧🇷 Brazil becomes 50th country to crack the sovereign GSS+ market 🌍 On 13 November 2023, Brazil became the 50th country to price a GSS+ (green, social, sustainability, sustainability-linked or transition) sovereign deal in alignment with Climate Bonds’ Database Methodologies (aligned). Climate Bonds has been on a long-term mission to rally sovereign GSS+ issuance across the globe, as it is understood such deals send a strong policy signal and can catalyse local market growth. The first sovereign green bond was issued by Poland back in 2017, and only 6 years later, the number has climbed to 50. 🚀🚀 Impacts can be far wider than expected. Beyond enabling access to low-cost capital, which can support increased sustainable expenditure, sovereign issuance can have a domino effect on the market, ramping up sustainable investment across the economy. 🌿 📈 Read more in our blog here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQaT_W93 #SustainableFinance #BrazilGSS+ #ClimateAction #greenfinance

As Finance Canada and federal and provincial financial regulators dither on imposing new requirements for corporate disclosure of climate-related risks, the European Union will be requiring nearly 50,000 companies to disclose the effects of their business on the environment and society, and the the effects of the climate crisis on their business. An estimated 10,000 corporations from outside the continent, many based in Canada, will be captured by the EU regulations. As the transition away from fossil fuels accelerates, Canada is falling behind the rest of the world in aligning our companies and financial institutions with domestic and international climate commitments. #cdnpoli #climaterisk #sustainablefinance

With the end of Next Generation EU in 2026, EU climate-dedicated grants will sharply decline. A new EU Green Investment Plan of €180 Bn between 2024-30 will be required to sustain current levels.

The European Union appears undeterred by years of calamitous climate policies, with EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen demanding new taxes and other schemes to take green agenda investment into the “trillions”. Leaders from around the world descended (many of whom on private jets) upon the oil-rich Arabian nation of Dubai for the 28th instalment of the United Nation’s top annual climate summit, in which politicians demand that ordinary citizens bankroll their lofty visions of a so-called green future. Despite people suffering across Europe under an energy crisis as a result of the war in Ukraine and the years of dumping money into dubious ‘renewable’ energy sources, EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen’s takeaway was to double down on the very same policies that precipitated Europe’s precarious energy situation. “More is needed,” the German politician urged, proclaiming: “We have to move from billions to trillions.” The EU leader admitted that to accomplish such a goal, Brussels will need to “find new sources of revenue”. To do so, von der Leyen said that she “fully supports” the plan proposed by Kenyan President William Ruto and French President Emmanuel Macron to impose a global green tax targeting financial transactions to “raise more money for climate action.”
