As the drive towards sustainability continues throughout this 'Decade of Action', greater amounts of resources (including rare earth and critical minerals) are required to transition the world towards a 'Net Zero' future. Deep on our oceans floors, rare and precious minerals exist in abundance, with more and more mining companies turning their minds towards potentially mining these sources. Even though few have been granted rights, there has been growing concerns that deep sea mining can have significant, long-lasting, negative environmental consequences, impacting upon generations to come. From a financial perspective, in a study titled 'Race to the Bottom', Planet Tracker states that countries would receive minimal - if not trivial - financial benefits from deep sea mining activities. Whilst the underlying analysis within the study has been deemed to be simplistic by some, the 'Race to the Bottom' paper has been recently accompanied by another paper titled 'Mining for Trouble' from the same group. Within this most recent paper, Planet Tracker goes onto to state that "...if deep sea metals were to enter the market, global prices of copper, cobalt, nickel and manganese could decline." Furthermore, "...five of the 12 countries identified in this analysis were categorised by the World Bank as lower middle income in 2023, [where]...these countries are likely to be less well equipped to deal with the negative economic impacts that deep sea mining-related price shocks may bring." Adding to the debate is 'Deep Rising', a groundbreaking documentary narrated by actor Jason Momoa and directed by Matthieu Rytz that dives into how mining companies are seeking to undertake deep sea, ocean floor mining around the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a 3 million square kilometre expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The documentary can be streamed directly from deeprising.com from today, followed soon by Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Apple TV with the trailer found here: https://lnkd.in/gf8kx8HV Sustainable finance is a set of practices, standards and products that aim to achieve financial returns while also considering environmental and social objectives. In short, sustainable finance is finance that seeks to balance people, planet and profit. Until greater amounts of research prove that deep sea mining can be done ethically, without exploitation and without severely impacting our oceanic environment, Green Bond Corporation (GBC) Group fully supports a global moratorium on deep sea mining activities.

As experts, we often get asked to speak about what's wrong with climate markets. We need to be more focused on what's good and what opportunities there are to harness. The Sustainable Markets Initiative The climate has changed: How CIOs are investing in a climate-resilient economy report highlights that: “This is a mega-trend: there are huge opportunities to take and major new risks to manage.” Huge opportunity: "As of 2022, the discretionary assets of the world’s 100 largest asset owners were estimated to be $25.7 trillion, with the top 20 asset owners representing over 55% of these assets.2 They have the potential to direct large capital flows towards or away from economic activities that support real-world decarbonization. Their fiduciary duty to achieve long-term returns for their beneficiaries (such as pensioners) also implies a need to understand and manage long-term risks, such as climate change, appropriately."

This is an incredible step forward for climate action. Prior to this partnership - Co-operative Agreements under Article 6.2 of the Paris Climate Agreement to trade Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), where the acquiring country can use these types of carbon credits towards their climate Nationally Determined Contribution targets (NDCs) were stifled by the lack of seamless processes and technology - and by the scrutiny of credit integrity. This partnership proudly augments the work in Ghana of the Green Bond Corporation ( #GBC )and Carbon Capital Corporation ( #CCC ) ecosystem of capital, people, processes and technology to deliver a cohesive and trusted source to sale solution for high integrity and investment grade carbon credits. We often talk about using "best in world" and "enterprise grade technology". At GBC, CCC and ZERO13 we don't just talk - we act and deliver using only the best there is available so that confidence and trust is provided to drive institutional capital into carbon markets and the projects who are producing these critical carbon commodities.

At the recent FT Live Commodities Asia Summit, our Director of Public Affairs, Lorna Ritchie , joined an esteemed panel with Duncan van Bergen , Co-founder, Calyx Global , Professor Lisa Wilson , Global Head of strategic partnerships, Green Bond Corporation and Board Advisor, ZERO13 , and Tommy Ricketts , CEO and Co-founder, BeZero Carbon , to discuss a critical question: How can voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) rebuild trust and establish themselves as effective tools for decarbonisation? 🔍 💡 Key Takeaways: ✅ Our guiding principle, "where there is integrity, scale will follow," underscores the importance of robust standards. The Integrity Council's Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) are central to ensuring carbon credits are impactful, transparent, and verifiable. ✅ A Unified Approach: Lorna emphasised, “a globally harmonised approach” is essential to align credit standards across markets, restore confidence, and drive quality. The Integrity Council is actively collaborating with governments and regulators worldwide to embed these standards. ✅ Collective Responsibility: The path to a high-integrity #VoluntaryCarbonMarket requires a “mosaic of regulators” working alongside ratings agencies and other key stakeholders, collectively ensuring that quality and accountability remain at the forefront. We’re building momentum and look forward to continuing this important conversation at #COP29 , advocating for high-integrity voluntary carbon markets that can drive real change. 👉 Read more our COP29 ambitions: https://lnkd.in/e2ywm6km

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM)

Construction currently accounts for ~40% of global energy and industrial-related CO2 emissions. Roughly 85% of these emissions stems from utilisation of fossil fuels, with the remainder mainly related to the production of construction materials themselves. As projections indicate that construction related emissions will rise by a further 13% globally without additional mitigation and/or adaption efforts, the path to achieving global climate goals, let alone a low emissions future, is strongly correlated to a more sustainable, global construction industry. Earlier this year, the IFC issued the report titled Building Green - Sustainable Construction in Emerging Markets. The aim of the report is to help guide international efforts to decarbonise construction value chains via comprehensive analysis as well as offering important recommendations. With emerging markets accounting for approximately 30% of the global construction value chain emissions, the report notes that: 🌎 Deployment of improved technologies could reverse projected emissions growth from construction value chains, requiring USD$3.5tn in global investment between 2022 and 2035; 🌎 Such technologies centre around construction materials including 'green cement' and 'green-steel'; improved utilisation of carbon-capture; enhanced use of sustainable products like that in mass timber construction and integrating recycled materials more effectively; 🌎 Decarbonizing construction value chains will entail short-term trade-offs for long term benefits; 🌎 Global domestic and foreign private green debt finance for construction decarbonization increased twenty-fold over the last five years; 🌎 Such financial instruments included green bonds, sustainability bonds and sustainability-linked bonds; 🌎 Yet emerging markets receive only a small share (~10%) of domestic and foreign green finance for decarbonizing construction. The full report can be found here: https://lnkd.in/d3S2sQ9W Green Bond Corporation (GBC) Group is currently working with construction industry participants to improve the efficiencies of the construction industry. Whether working directly with property developers or assisting technology providers to decarbonize construction value chains, GBC Group is committed to support required efforts globally.

The Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development (IATFFD) is a United Nations initiative comprised of over fifty UN agencies, programmes and offices. Per Paragraph 133 of the Addis Agenda, it is mandated to report annually on progress in meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda as well as advise on recommendations for corrective action where gaps have been identified. In its most recent report into sustainable development financing titled "Financing for Sustainable Development Report 2024", the IATFFD noted that the promise of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda aligning financial resources remains largely unfulfilled. Further, the report states that the past four years have increased the financing needs of developing countries, where the financing gaps for those countries now stands at USD$4tn each and every year. Partly sombre in tone, the report highlights that whilst as high as financing gap estimates are, they pale in comparison to the costs of inaction. Yet whilst financing is the challenge, it also provides part of the solution, with the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development - to be held in Spain in mid-2025 - providing a unique opportunity to commit to reforms and close the gap between aspiration and financing. Noting time is of the essence, the report further states: 🌍 The world is severely off track to achieve the SDGs by 2030; 🌎 Financing challenges are at the heart of the current sustainable development crisis; 🌏 Progress is woefully insufficient on SDG13 (Climate Action), especially as disasters are becoming more frequent and intense, with losses, damages and recover costs increasing; 🌍 Whilst notable progress in sustainable finance has been made over the last 25 years, it has not kept pace with rising financing needs in an increasingly challenging global economic environment; and 🌏 Many developing countries have less access to contingency financing in times of need, constraining their ability to respond to and recover from shocks.

In its second edition of the State and Trends of International Carbon Markets report, the World Bank Group highlighted that 2023 witnessed a significant market value adjustment of the voluntary carbon credit market, a drop that was primarily attributed to broadly felt environmental integrity concerns of carbon credit issuances. Whilst there are several other challenges for the voluntary carbon market, what was also affirmed is that stakeholders are undertaking steps to restore trust and transparency, with initiatives showing promise. The 2024 report also stated that: 🌎 Well-designed, high integrity carbon markets can (and do) play a pivotal role in financing climate action in developing countries; 🌎 For creditability and trust, carbon markets activity needs to be governed by a clear and robust institutional framework; 🌎 Clearly defining the legal nature of carbon credits is essential for financiers; 🌎 An indicator of progress in the market is the increased sophistication of buyers, their direct involvement in project due diligence and their preference for high-quality investments; 🌎 Specifically, such buyers are willing to pay large premiums for credits with perceived higher quality and development impact; 🌎 84% of listed companies are not on track to meet their net-zero goals; 🌎 Countries must aim to develop policy frameworks that enable the broader use of carbon credits and address policy elements that support such usage; and 🌎 Various insurance providers are emerging to address different high-severity, low-frequency risks.
