First Green Finance Innovation webinar: Japan’s transition bonds
In this first webinar of our Green Finance Innovation series, held on 4 September at 8:30 UTC+2, we deep-dive into transition bonds, a subset of green bonds focused on facilitating the shift from less sustainable to more sustainable practices, enabling lower emissions from polluting and hard-to-abate sectors.
The webinar presents Japan’s experience, featuring Kyoto and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as well as Indonesia’s province of Bali.
What is TAP?
The Transformative Actions Program (TAP) brings together financial institutions, project preparation facilities, and the private sector to assist subnational governments and local businesses in turning their sustainable infrastructure ideas into solid and investment-ready projects.
How does it work?
Projects are mobilized through annual calls and screened by experts in sustainable finance. Those with great potential for impact can receive personalized feedback and, once considered investment-ready, are connected to project preparation facilities and financial partners that will support their implementation.
