イベント概要

日本政府は、2050年までのカーボン・ニュートラルと2030年までに2013年比で46%の排出削減、さらに50%の高みを目指すという中間目標を掲げています。政府はグリーントランスフォーメーション(GX)を実現するために、今後10年間で20兆円規模の政府の先行投資、150兆円を超える官民のGX投資を目指しており、その足がかりとして2024年2月、5月にクライメート・トランジション利付国債を発行しました。

こうした投資の流れをさらに加速させ、あらゆるステークホルダーが一丸となってトランジション(着実な脱炭素化に向けた移行)を推し進めていくためには、1.5℃目標と科学的根拠に基づく信頼性の高いトランジション計画の策定、開示、評価が求められます。

本ウェビナーでは、IGESとClimate Bonds Initiativeが共同で7月にリリースした「トランジション戦略ツールキット」のガイダンスと原則に学びながら、日本の企業の日々のトランジション推進で活用されることを目指して、政策立案者、投資家、NGOの視点から、強固で信頼できるトランジション戦略とは何かを議論します。そして、そうした戦略の策定・運用・評価の方法、適切な情報開示を実践するために必要なことは何かを深堀りします。

対象者

本ウェビナーは、サステナブルファイナンスに一定の関心を持ち、債券市場について基礎的な知識を有する方々を対象として想定しています。トランジションファイナンスやトランジション計画の策定・評価に関わる投資家や企業の担当者に向けた内容です。

Discover the transformative Electrical Utilities Criteria, now integral to the Climate Bonds Standard for entity certification, in our upcoming webinar. This new framework marks a vital expansion, targeting the electricity sector's significant contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and its journey towards net-zero.

We'll cover how these criteria offer a robust, science-based approach for electrical utilities to align their financing—with a keen focus on bonds, loans, and sustainability-linked debt—with stringent climate objectives. Designed to limit global temperature rises and enhance energy resilience, this certification plays a crucial role in meeting the Paris Agreement's ambitious targets.

Hear from experts on the importance of Mitigation and Adaptation Requirements and the impact of certification in steering the sector towards a sustainable future. Ideal for stakeholders in the electrical utilities sector, investors, and those interested in climate finance, this session promises essential insights into accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. Join us to learn how your entity can contribute to a sustainable future through strategic climate action.

Join us for a first look at the Climate Bonds Agri-Foods Deforestation & Conversion Free Sourcing Criteria which serve as a procurement guide for aligning food sourcing strategies with 1.5°C climate goals, helping to green the financial sector. 

This criteria includes the establishment of clear dates to limit the timeframe of deforested-links products entering global supply chains and strong guidance on traceability and disclosure requirements, in coherence with new policy regulations driving changes in the market. In particular, the new criteria ensures consistency with EU Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) and guide those aiming for the EU market for early awareness and adherence. Cut-off date established is 31 December 2020, supply chain of certifiable entities should be free from deforestation of natural forest and conversion of natural ecosystem.

The criteria have a clear focus on climate and biodiversity impacts, and safeguarding social equity, including human rights and the rights of indigenous peoples. The criteria is informed by other standards in the market and recent policy developments, with an aim to facilitate much needed progress towards food supply chains protective of climate and biodiversity.

The DCF Sourcing Criteria is targeted at entities: Companies operating within the food value chain which source agriculture commodities that are land-based and whose production might involve land use change from natural ecosystems (e.g. forests, peatlands, savannas). Assets, Use of Proceeds, Entities and Sustainability-Linked Debt instruments that enable or service the goal of deforestation and natural ecosystem conversion free sourcing (e.g. entities operating in the land-use change monitoring or traceability system space) can be certified under Climate Bonds Standard as 1.5ºC Aligned for eligible activities.
