00:00:00
the british to be here would be among all of you i realise i'm in the very dangerous position
00:00:05
that i'm the only thing standing between you and munch so i'll try and make it to make it the
00:00:10
oh maybe not then okay um i will try make it brief uh i
00:00:15
can make it brief partly because simon uh introduced the subject so well the
00:00:20
question uh uh the challenge of incorporating
00:00:23
um nature a natural capital and major
00:00:27
performance in financial instruments and to be going to a illustrate one of those today
00:00:33
um i will start but by a very brief statement of the problem all
00:00:38
around the world in developing countries there is a very serious level of indebtedness
00:00:43
that didn't didn't there's no need to serve it uh requires a countries to divert funds
00:00:49
from what otherwise could be an investment in
00:00:51
climate nature and the covered situation has greatly
00:00:56
um i increased that indebtedness so that it's now clearly unsustainable and the solution that we
00:01:03
would like to present for it is say financial instrument that eases countries access to capital
00:01:09
increase i improves it's a it's a
00:01:11
indebtedness situation while at the same time advancing
00:01:15
a nature girls so simon talked about the the the the real problem of of uh
00:01:21
financial systems not incorporating kept kept a natural capital value not pricing
00:01:27
it it properly as a result skewing the the the whole economic system
00:01:32
and the uh in the uh other problem that risk sharing
00:01:36
the the perception of risk is falsified by the same thing and
00:01:40
so we believe that that there's a big opportunity for debt
00:01:43
markets to evolve to meet these needs and this is already happening
00:01:47
we all know i think that green bonds have exploded being bonds or use of proceeds instrument
00:01:53
uh and they have gone from something like fifteen a billion dollars
00:01:57
in twenty thirteen to overthrow the and uh in the last year um
00:02:02
so so that there's a huge development here but we
00:02:05
believe that there's a new generation of financial instruments coming
00:02:09
a a merging already that are uh uh in fact sustainability links barnes their
00:02:15
their bones that are linked to sustainability outcomes in a way that also assists
00:02:20
in in countries access to capital and uh as simon mention one trillion uh
00:02:26
a dollars worth of of sustainability bones we should in twenty twenty one alone
00:02:31
so what is it we need to do to uh to
00:02:34
to make this market emerge quickly verses that we need to
00:02:39
support policy um based action that incentive visors performance so that the performance link
00:02:45
to the bond uh the capital access is made very explicit we need to do this in
00:02:50
a way that's that lowers the cost of capital
00:02:53
for the borrowing countries and supports their economic recovery
00:02:57
we need to do this in a way that in in dances
00:03:00
risk sharing so that we're not dealing with increasing numbers of default
00:03:05
on the part of of countries that are that are crumbling under the
00:03:08
the weight of their debt and we need to improve uh reese pricing
00:03:12
so that we align with nature and you can see that some of
00:03:15
the publications there that indicate that we are already well along the way here
00:03:20
so i mean mention the the merging bonds in chile the sovereign a bond that they're trying to float
00:03:25
i'm working on one in in pakistan where in exchange for
00:03:29
specific nature performance a pup x. thanking get uh access to capital
00:03:34
in a way that they cannot now it's a heavily indebted country but linking it to this need
00:03:38
to performance or climb performance gives them an opportunity
00:03:42
to explore a new markets and and float new instruments
00:03:46
what we need to do to make this to make this happen and
00:03:49
and this is the work that we're doing in infinite for but rusty
00:03:53
the first is to establish a a new facility that will support
00:03:56
market building and the subsequent issuance it scales so they're patches their
00:04:01
pilots the things happening we need to bring that knowledge together and
00:04:05
and and specifically structure it so that we're supporting issuance at scale
00:04:11
the second is to advance market building through a new facility that creates
00:04:15
uh the opportunity to gather best practised uh and to support um
00:04:21
uh the the efforts of the many different countries and organisations that want to get in this
00:04:26
field we need to uh develop guidance for the market you you probably know that the international
00:04:32
capital markets a association has issued a guidelines
00:04:36
or principles versus terribly like barnes we need to
00:04:39
develop these the into much more specificity so that they're available to those interested in these markets
00:04:45
it's funny we need to align their market infrastructure we're working with
00:04:49
credit rating agencies on the role of nature in sovereign credit ratings
00:04:54
and we're working with the i. m. f. to
00:04:56
ensure that incorporate nature into their own debt sustainability analysis
00:05:01
so looking forward we think that there are a wonderful opportunities out there to movies to scale
00:05:07
among financial centres would need to build the necessary capacity i meant
00:05:11
governments need to mobile lies uh sources of capital furniture and climate ambitions
00:05:17
intermediaries including investors investment banks and so on
00:05:21
to help broker these deals and investors who have
00:05:24
now a much wider range of opportunities to build major positive and zero uh a net zero
00:05:30
uh uh investment offerings what we're going to do next uh in closing is too
00:05:37
uh explore the role of china and as as you know try knows where the key creditor
00:05:42
countries in the world they're showing signs of of being willing to link uh really found that
00:05:48
uh for two climate and and and nature priorities we would like to work with them to
00:05:52
accelerate that we would like to do more in gauging the private sector on how to build
00:05:57
investor appetite for this kind of thing we need to innovate um
00:06:02
work on the impact of of a seven credit ratings and to share uh this work we're
