Taxonomies play an important role in broadening investor understanding of climate resilience and scaling up financial flows. Cadlas has pioneered work on the development of climate resilience financing taxonomies that set out clear and consistent definitions of climate resilience investments.
Collaboration
Cadlas is the lead technical partner on the development of the Climate Bonds initiative (CBI) Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy that will enable capital markets to identify and assess climate resilience investments, and to facilitate the flow of capital towards them.
Cadlas supported the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) to develop an outline climate resilience investment framework focused on institutional investors such as asset managers, asset owners and pension funds.
Cadlas advised the Adaptation & Resilience Investors Collaborative (ARIC), an association of development finance institutions and impact investors, on the development of a framework for assessing the adaptation & resilience impact of investments that can inform adaptation and resilience investment operations.
Cadlas is providing technical guidance to commercial banks under UNEP-FI’s Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) network on the integration of climate resilience considerations and metrics into their adaptation target-setting and financing strategies.
