CLIMATE BONDS RESILIENCE TAXONOMY (CBRT) Annexes I–VI for CBRT V1.1 Methodology Document

The Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy (CBRT) V1.1 Methodology Document Annexes provide detailed process-based guidance and worked examples for assessing adapting measures, adapted activities, enabling measures, and enabling activities to ensure they contribute substantially to climate resilience.

• The CBRT establishes a five-step process for assessing adapting measures against global thresholds: defining investment context, establishing a timescale, applying a global threshold, defining a counterfactual, and determining the means of implementation.
• For adapting measures assessed against local thresholds, the threshold must be defined using CBRT units of measurement and should reference comparable investment contexts as much as possible.
• Investment-level assessments for adapted activities require verifying that the activity is resilient to specific climate impacts through adapting measures that mitigate material risks to a tolerable level.
• Climate impact assessments for activities with an expected lifespan of 10 years or more must use the highest available resolution, science-based projections across multiple scenarios, including at least 10- to 30-year projections for major investments.
• The CBRT requires that adapting measures be checked for maladaptation risks to ensure they do not adversely affect the climate resilience of other people, nature, cultural heritage, assets, or economic activities.
• Enabling measures must be verified as resilient to material climate impacts and must demonstrate an enabling contribution by expanding or extending essential services to build the resilience of other activities.
• Enabling activities are assessed based on their resilience to material climate impacts and whether the technology, product, service, information, or practice they provide is defined as a climate resilience solution within the CBRT.
• Assessments can be implemented as stand-alone evaluations by the issuer or by confirming the investment has been checked against CBRT-identified proxies, which are deemed equivalent in focus and ambition to the screening criteria.
