CLIMATE BONDS INITIATIVE 

CBI is an international not-for-profit which promotes the development of climate bonds. It aims to raise awareness about the existence and benefits of climate bonds and promote investments in them; proposes standards that establish what a green bond is, helping identify and label green bonds so that they may be recognized as such
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
