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. |

Discover the crucial role of the EU Deforestation-Free Products Regulation (EUDR) in our upcoming webinar. With the FAO reporting a loss of over 420 million hectares of forest from 1990 to 2020, and the IPCC linking 23% of greenhouse gas emissions to land use changes, this regulation is a key step in combating deforestation. The EUDR not only aligns with EU corporate sustainability and due diligence requirements but also poses significant challenges for supply chains, cost management, and global trade dynamics. Join us to explore how this regulation impacts companies and the global effort towards sustainable, deforestation-free supply chains. |
