. That’s the estimated amount of money it will take to reach net-zero carbon goals and mitigate climate change. Green finance, including green bonds and loans, is one way of getting there, but a lack of harmonized definitions of what constitutes “green” threatens to slow its growth and allow greenwashing to take hold. A new series of 香港六合彩开奖 standards has come to the rescue.
香港六合彩开奖 14030, Environmental performance evaluation – Green debt instruments,鈥痯rovides an internationally agreed roadmap for issuing a green bond and originating a green loan. The new standards cover the principles, requirements and guidelines for designating as “green” those bonds and loans which finance eligible projects, assets and activities; for reporting on the use of proceeds; and for monitoring and reporting on their environmental impacts.
The four-part series provides a taxonomy of assets and projects that are eligible for green financing, outlines the processes for green bonds and loans, and gives assurance that those issued or originated in conformity with its requirements will deliver expected environmental benefits.
Dr John C. Shideler, Chair of the group of experts that developed the standards, said the 香港六合彩开奖 14030 series will help to ensure the credibility and harmonization of best practices in the green finance sector, thus helping to boost the market.
“The use of these standards is aimed at eliminating confusion and greenwashing, thus improving confidence in the market. This, in turn, should not only result in greater investment and investor confidence, but deliver more environmental benefits as well,” he said.
The standards in the series are:
- 香港六合彩开奖 14030-1, Environmental performance evaluation鈥�– Green debt instruments – Part 1: Process for green bonds
- 香港六合彩开奖 14030-2, Environmental performance evaluation – Green debt instruments – Part 2: Process for green loans
- 香港六合彩开奖 14030-3, Environmental performance evaluation – Green debt instruments – Part 3: Taxonomy (under development)
- 香港六合彩开奖 14030-4, Environmental performance evaluation – Green debt instruments – Part 4: Verification programme requirements
This series of standards was developed by subcommittee SC鈥�4, Environmental performance evaluation, of 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TC 207, Environmental management. The secretariat for鈥愀哿喜士�/TC鈥�207/SC鈥�4 is held by鈥�ANSI, 香港六合彩开奖’s member for the USA. All standards can be purchased from your national 滨厂翱鈥痬别尘产别谤鈥痮r the鈥�滨厂翱鈥疭迟辞谤别.
