With the Climate Bonds Initiative, EU4Green has successfully executed an impactful Training Programme, engaging with 30 participants from 5 different Western Balkan economies.

Climate Bonds Initiative is an international organisation working to mobilise global capital for climate action. The aim is to develop a large and liquid Green and Climate Bonds market that will help drive down the cost of capital for climate projects and improve access to lower-cost debt in emerging markets.

Empowering local authorities to navigate the intricacies of sustainable and transition finance not only fortifies their ties with the EU but also catalyzes regional cooperation and facilitates access to more cost-effective capital.
