This document is a summary of frequently asked questions (FAQs) designed to guide issuers through the seven-step process of issuing green bonds specifically for climate resilience. It provides practical advice on selecting eligibility criteria, identifying qualifying assets, developing frameworks, arranging verification, and managing reporting and labeling.

This report by the Climate Bonds Initiative analyzes how financial taxonomies can facilitate the transition to net-zero emissions by 2050, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors. It introduces six 'transition mechanisms'—including forward-looking criteria, expiry dates, and transition plan requirements—to help developers create credible benchmarks. Through case studies of the EU, China, and Australia, the report illustrates different taxonomy archetypes (binary, traffic-light, and mixed) and emphasizes the need to integrate these technical tools with broader national climate policies and science-based pathways.

A statement from the Global Climate and Health Alliance addressed to the COP28 President, urging the accelerated, just, and equitable phase-out of fossil fuels to protect global health and achieve the 1.5 °C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement.

A statement by the Global Climate and Health Alliance and partner organizations outlining seven priority areas for COP28 to protect human and planetary health. The document advocates for a 'Health in All Policies' approach, emphasizing the urgent need to phase out fossil fuels, increase climate financing for health, and integrate health metrics into adaptation and mitigation strategies.

A statement by the Global Climate and Health Alliance and other organisations calling on COP28 Parties to integrate health into all climate policies, phase out fossil fuels, and scale finance to protect human health and the environment.

The Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA) submitted a written statement to the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, arguing that fossil fuels should be recognized as health-harming products. The document outlines structural barriers to the energy transition and proposes three primary solutions: integrating health cost accounting into national finance, redirecting fossil fuel subsidies toward clean energy and public health, and banning fossil fuel marketing and sponsorships.

This technical report, prepared for the South African National Treasury by the Climate Policy Initiative and GreenCape, evaluates the international interoperability and usability of the South African Green Finance Taxonomy (SA GFT). The analysis focuses on three core pillars: Make a Substantial Contribution (MSC), Do No Significant Harm (DNSH), and Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS). While the SA GFT shows strong alignment with global standards in its environmental objectives and sectoral coverage, it faces significant challenges in the practical application and measurability of its DNSH and MSS criteria. The report recommends introducing more flexible alignment classifications, increasing the use of quantitative thresholds, and integrating existing national social regulations to enhance the taxonomy's usability and attractiveness for international investment.
