GUIA DE MELHORES PRÁTICAS PARA EMITIR TÍTULOS VERDES

The document outlines the Climate Bonds Standard and Certification Scheme, a voluntary labeling system designed to align financial investments with the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. It focuses on the Brazilian market, where transport is the third most financed taxonomy category for green bonds at 10%. The guide details a three-step certification process (pre-issuance, issuance, and post-issuance) and specifies eligible transport assets, including zero-emission rail, road public transport, and low-carbon infrastructure. It establishes strict mitigation thresholds, such as a limit of 50gCO2 per p-km for passengers by 2026, and explicitly excludes vehicles powered exclusively by biofuels or those primarily transporting fossil fuels.

• The Climate Bonds Certification Scheme is a voluntary labeling system for debt instruments and entities that align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. As of January 2023, the scheme has been applied to hundreds of instruments totaling 260 billion dollars equivalent.
• In Brazil, the transport sector represents 10% of the most financed taxonomy categories via green bonds. The document argues that transforming the Brazilian passenger and cargo transport matrix to low-carbon is necessary to meet national commitments.
• The certification process for transport bonds consists of three phases: pre-issuance (identifying eligible resources, creating a framework, and engaging a verifier), issuance (obtaining the verification report, engaging investors/media, and listing on platforms like Nasdaq or IADB), and post-issuance (submitting a verification report within 12-24 months and annual update reports).
• Eligible transport projects must meet specific criteria, including zero-emission urban rail, zero-emission buses, dedicated low-carbon infrastructure (such as bike lanes and charging points), and zero-emission commercial vehicles. The guide notes that resilience components will be added to these criteria over time.
• Strict emission thresholds are required for compliance: passenger transport must reach 50gCO2 per p-km by 2026 and zero-emissions thereafter; freight must reach 25gCO2 per t-km by 2030, 21gCO2 by 2050, and 18gCO2 after 2050.
• Certain activities are explicitly excluded from certification: the transport of fossil fuels must be less than 25% of the load or rolling stock, and vehicles powered exclusively by biofuels are excluded due to the complexity of monitoring biofuel versus fossil fuel usage.
