I had the great pleasure to interview Sean Kidney, chief executive and co-founder of the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI).Climate Bonds Initiative
Main Take aways:
- We can't afford a niche market here. We have to be able to engage the mainstream portfolio managers around the world. So these bonds walk and talk like an ordinary bond similar yield similar coupon.
- In Europe agriculture is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, for example working with the agricultural sector is a vital thing now.
- We have to look at the Economic Development of the society around the natural capital assets and how do we make those richer and have a different economic path than destruction of capital assets.
- Preservation of the national capital is critically important as well as the increase in sequestration of soils and the regrowth of forests and changing of practices to reduce emissions at farm level.
- We need to work on our global ecosystems to make them more resilient by improving their biodiversity and their ability to be able to respond to extreme climatic shocks or weather shocks.
- The lending to the green sector will be materially cheaper than lending to non green sectors
