CEFC made a AU$20 million cornerstone investment in the world’s first university-issued certified climate bond, issued by Monash University. The AU$218 million climate bond, certified by the global Climate Bonds Initiative, creates an important new asset class for the financing of sustainability and clean energy projects in the university sector. Over two years, Monash University will allocate capital raised through the climate bond to a portfolio of projects that achieve certification in accordance with the standards of the Climate Bonds Initiative.
