澳大利亞財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)Jim Chalmers周五宣布，澳大利亞政府將于明年發(fā)行有史以來第一只綠色債券，加入越來越多參與可持續(xù)金融市場(chǎng)的主權(quán)債務(wù)發(fā)行人的行列，為其環(huán)境可持續(xù)性舉措提供資金。

即將舉行的綠色債券發(fā)行計(jì)劃是在阿爾巴尼斯政府第二次投資者圓桌會(huì)議上制定的，該會(huì)議由查爾默斯主持，召集了代表超過2萬億美元資產(chǎn)的投資者，重點(diǎn)是促進(jìn)投資，以幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)澳大利亞的凈零目標(biāo)，支持可持續(xù)金融的增長(zhǎng)，并為消費(fèi)者的能源績(jī)效升級(jí)提供資金。

根據(jù)Chalmers、氣候變化和能源部長(zhǎng)Chris Bowen和氣候變化和能量部長(zhǎng)助理Jenny McAllister在圓桌會(huì)議后的一份聲明，新的綠色債券計(jì)劃將有助于投資者支持以凈零為重點(diǎn)的公共項(xiàng)目，吸引更多的綠色資本到澳大利亞，并有助于提高該國綠色金融市場(chǎng)的規(guī)模和可信度。

Australia to Issue Inaugural Green Bond

The government of Australia will issue its first ever green bond next year, joining the growing ranks of sovereign debt issuers participating in the sustainable finance market to help fund their environmental sustainability initiatives, according to an announcement on Friday by Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

The plans for the upcoming green bond offering was made at the Albanese Government’s second Investor Roundtable, hosted by Chalmers and convening investors representing more than $2 trillion in assets, focused on facilitating investment to help achieve Australia’s net zero goals, supporting the growth of sustainable finance, and financing energy performance upgrades for consumers.

According to a statement by Chalmers, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, and Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy Jenny McAllister following the roundtable, the new green bond program will help enable investors to back public net zero-focused projects, attract more green capital to Australia, and help boost the scale and credibility of the country’s green finance market.
