Our SMARTER discussion features Sean Kidney, the co-founder and CEO of the Climate Bonds Initiative, an international NGO working to mobilise debt capital markets for climate solutions. Sean focuses on promoting investment priorities for climate and green bonds, how governments can take advantage of the green bonds market and the development of international collaborations. He also acts as chair of the Climate Bond Standards Board (members represent $34 trillion of assets under management).
