Green Bond Technical Assistance Program

The Program also supports and complements the Amundi Planet Emerging Green One fund – the world’s largest targeted green bond fund focused on emerging markets. The Fund will significantly increase the scale and pace of climate finance in emerging markets by crowding in capital from investors and creating new markets. The Fund will create demand for green bonds- the Program will create emerging market green bond supply, with appropriate quality and independent verification mechanisms.

The goal is to catalyze at scale financing for the green economy in emerging markets , where the largest climate mitigation potential lays. In total, this is expected to result in 26 million tCO2e reductions by the end of the investment period.
