Cities and local and regional governments are on the front line of climate change risks. Amongst a number of issues are the lack of information and market knowledge, lack of policy and/or regulatory system, lack of support from national authorities, lack of aggregation schemes for small scale eligible projects.

Acknowledging these obstacles and the rapid growth and relevance of the labelled debt market for sub-national governments, the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) has structured a comprehensive course on thematic-labelled bonds. It is suitable for professionals who wish to gain knowledge of such labels and the market, their issuance process and mechanisms that can support local governments when embarking on this journey. CBI’s Scaling Up Sub-National Sustainable Finance Through Thematic Labelled Bonds discusses in detail challenges and supporting tools, but most importantly, the benefits of issuing these innovative instruments by sub-sovereign entities.
