Climate-linked sovereign debt markets are emerging as a critical tool for countries to finance climate action while linking debt servicing to climate performance. This domain equips learners to design, issue, and manage sovereign bonds tied to climate or sustainability outcomes, such as green bonds, resilience bonds, or ESG-linked sovereign debt. Participants gain skills in climate finance structuring, credit risk assessment, ESG reporting, investor engagement, and policy alignment, enabling governments, multilateral agencies, and investors to mobilize capital for sustainable development and climate resilience.
