澳大利亚财政部长Jim Chalmers周五宣布，澳大利亚政府将于明年发行有史以来第一只绿色债券，加入越来越多参与可持续金融市场的主权债务发行人的行列，为其环境可持续性举措提供资金。

即将举行的绿色债券发行计划是在阿尔巴尼斯政府第二次投资者圆桌会议上制定的，该会议由查尔默斯主持，召集了代表超过2万亿美元资产的投资者，重点是促进投资，以帮助实现澳大利亚的净零目标，支持可持续金融的增长，并为消费者的能源绩效升级提供资金。

根据Chalmers、气候变化和能源部长Chris Bowen和气候变化和能量部长助理Jenny McAllister在圆桌会议后的一份声明，新的绿色债券计划将有助于投资者支持以净零为重点的公共项目，吸引更多的绿色资本到澳大利亚，并有助于提高该国绿色金融市场的规模和可信度。

Australia to Issue Inaugural Green Bond

The government of Australia will issue its first ever green bond next year, joining the growing ranks of sovereign debt issuers participating in the sustainable finance market to help fund their environmental sustainability initiatives, according to an announcement on Friday by Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

The plans for the upcoming green bond offering was made at the Albanese Government’s second Investor Roundtable, hosted by Chalmers and convening investors representing more than $2 trillion in assets, focused on facilitating investment to help achieve Australia’s net zero goals, supporting the growth of sustainable finance, and financing energy performance upgrades for consumers.

According to a statement by Chalmers, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, and Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy Jenny McAllister following the roundtable, the new green bond program will help enable investors to back public net zero-focused projects, attract more green capital to Australia, and help boost the scale and credibility of the country’s green finance market.
