Truly exceptional panel gives opportunity to hear from three of the world's key #greenbonds issuers, an elite underwriter/arranger & one of Europe's most interesting credits: @EU_Commission, @EIB, @KfW_int, @Sfil_FR & @CA_CIB. Please join us on Monday!

Landmark in sovereign ESG financing from @TesouroNacional

Very positive forward-looking commitments on use of proceeds in Australia's new sovereign #greenbonds framework ( https://t.co/VmBBw8O06D @Treasury_AU @JEChalmers): 'At least 50% of total proceeds from green bonds will be allocated to current & future financial year expenditures'

Features @FinanceCanada, @MOF_Japan, @EDFofficiel, @SPShadesofGreen, @Sustainalytics, @issesg, @aft_france, UK DMO (@hmtreasury), @tvo_fi, @Fortum, @Bruce_Power, @opg, @AXAIM, @EOSFedHermes, @BMO, @CreditAgricole/@CA_CIB & @NatWest_Help! #nuclear #greenbonds

Join us at 1.15 UK / 2.15 CET / 8.15 CET today for a top-flight panel of @EIB, @KfW_int, @NRWBANK & @Nomura digging deep into public-sector ESG bond funding - including alignment with the EU #taxonomy & green bond standard! SSA #greenbonds #socialbonds #sustainablebonds #IFRESG

Notable both that @AbundanceInv's progress in UK local authority retail #greenbonds name-checked in #GreenFinanceStrategy & that - with no institutional LA ESG deals direct or via @UKMunicipalBond yet - 'UK govt exploring ways to support the Municipal Green Bond market' #GreenDay

Hard to reconcile #GreenFinanceStrategy claim that 'The UK’s Green Financing Programme [sovereign #greenbonds] is a key pillar of the govt’s green finance agenda' with the 23/34 institutional green Gilt target being unchanged at £10bn - despite the far higher overall Gilt target.

Positive that the Climate Investment Funds (@CIF_Action) Capital Market Mechanism #greenbonds announced at #COP26 affirmed in #GreenFinanceStrategy: 'expected to issue in the region of $5-7bn for climate projects in EMDEs using returns from previous UK investments'... #GreenDay

"[#sustainabilitylinkedbonds] are transition bonds & we consider ourselves to be in transition, so why shouldn’t we consider them?” Notable from @DSTA_nl at this high-powered @AFME_EU panel - first developed market sovereign to indicate openness to SLBs! https://t.co/uUjxPSejAT

Not content with showing @hmtreasury how to do retail #greenbonds properly, @newsgovhk @hkma are now working on issuing the first digital sovereign #greenbonds! Not the most obvious time, arguably (crypto, etc). But a landmark initiative all the same... https://t.co/C8AzUjISwh

A new benchmark for the entire global use of proceeds bond market, in six standard flavours plus a host of customisations - ditto for each of #greenbonds, #socialbonds & #sustainablebonds. No #sustainabilitylinkedbonds, but @Bloomberg considering separate indices for them...

Rather than banning solar farms, the government should be advancing deployment of solar projects in a way that benefits local communities, farmers and biodiversity.

Housing associations? Down. Universities? Loans & private placements instead. Sterling sales? Now less than half of the total. UK taxonomy? Next year. -41% (compared to other markets' 29% fall), it's tough in UK #greenbonds & other ESG formats this year... cc @GFI_green @UKSIF

Strong line-up with contributions from @BlackRock, @CA_CIB_EN, @EU_Budget & @Tradeweb, plus @ClimateBonds! #greenbonds #sustainabilitylinkedbonds #SLBs

Join senior @EIB, @KfW_int & @NRWBANK officials, plus @Nomura & @SG_CIB experts, for 'New Priorities in Public-Sector ESG Capital Markets' next Tues (14:15 BST). Addressing alignment w/EU #taxonomy & #greenbonds standard & more! Free to attend! Sign up:

New municipal investment is now open! Cotswold Climate Investment is raising £500,000 to help their residents go green with public EV charging points and help upgrade council’s offices to reduce their own emissions. 📣 Find out more ⬇️ https://t.co/08hw6x8deP Capital at risk

Grim enough for @hmtreasury & @nsandi to have only sold £300m of their ground-breaking retail sovereign #greenbonds in six months when @newsgovhk planned to sell twice that in two weeks. But now HK has revived the postponed HK$6bn deal - at HK$15bn or even HK$20bn...

Coming episodes in this excellent new @ifrtweets podcast series include the first #greenbonds issue! The birth of #useofproceeds bonds - with much insight (& no little drama...) from @WorldBank, @SEBGroup, @SkandiaSE, #AP2 & @CICERO_Green / @CICERO_klima.
