Summary
The Climate Bonds Taxonomy is a science-based guide published by the Climate Bonds Initiative to identify assets and projects compatible with a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy aligned with the Paris Agreement's 2-degree Celsius warming target. It provides a 'traffic light' system to categorize assets as automatically compatible (green), potentially compatible (orange), incompatible (red), or requiring further work (grey), serving as the basis for the Climate Bonds Standard certification process.
Key insights
- The taxonomy uses a color-coded 'traffic light' system to indicate whether assets and projects align with a 2-degree Celsius decarbonization trajectory: green for 'automatically compatible', orange for 'potentially compatible' (depending on specific criteria), red for 'incompatible', and grey for those requiring further work to determine compatibility.
- The taxonomy is based on the latest climate science, incorporating research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA), and utilizes the expertise of hundreds of technical specialists globally.
- The taxonomy covers a wide range of sectors including energy, transport, water resources, buildings, land use and ocean resources, industry, waste management, and information and communication technology (ICT).
