🌊⭐ GGGI supports IDI’s USD 40 million green bond issuance, boosting sustainable finance in Viet Nam’s seafood industry Announced in the signing ceremony on Tuesday, 26 November in Ho Chi Minh city, this issuance of VND 1,000 billion (USD 40 million equivalent) by International Development and Investment Corporation (#IDI), a subsidiary of Sao Mai Group, marks the first green bond by a corporate issuer in the aquaculture industry in Viet Nam. The issuance is fully guaranteed by GuarantCo -- part of The Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and subscribed by Manulife Investment Management and AIA. 🌱 Reflecting IDI’s commitment towards sustainable practices, under the green bond framework, the use of proceeds will be allocated to eligible projects that promote sustainable and environmentally friendly fish farming and production. These include development of sustainable fish breeding and hatchery facilities, and a new processing plant applying eco-friendly practices approaching international sustainability standards set by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP). These standards are crucial for Vietnamese companies seeking to access international markets with best-practice sustainability requirements. The new factory is also expected to provide a source of income for a number of contracted local farming households. ➡️ Read more at: https://lnkd.in/g7HGKUjz GGGI’s technical support for the issuance is part of the Viet Nam Green Bond Readiness Program, funded by the Government of Luxembourg, to foster the development of a robust green bond market in Viet Nam.

Thailand’s Public Debt Management Office (PDMO) has issued Asia’s first sovereign sustainability-linked bond (SLB), valued at THB 30 billion (USD 870-million equivalent)—making Thailand the first in the region and the third globally, after Chile and Uruguay, to issue this innovative financial instrument.     With GGGI’s technical expertise, this SLB marks a significant transition from use-of-proceeds sustainability bonds to performance-based SLBs, directly tied to ambitious national climate targets:  ✅ Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030  ✅ Increasing the annual registration of zero-emission passenger cars and pick-up trucks to 440,000 vehicles, advancing Thailand’s 30@30 electric vehicle policy.     This achievement is enabled by the Global Trust Fund (GTF) on Sustainable Finance Instruments, supported by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and with a second opinion provided by DNV (Thailand).    📌Click to Read More: https://lnkd.in/gqtFfSwh    #GGGI #GreenGrowth #SustainableFinance

📢 #GlobalPlasticsTreaty The fifth and final round of international negotiations on a Global Plastic Treaty gets underway in South Korea’s port city of Busan this week, a historic opportunity to tackle plastic pollution – the environmental and social costs of which are not equally distributed among developing and low-income countries. But the implementation of a global treaty will depend on national capacity, policymaking, data and finance being strengthened to ensure the means of implementation are feasible for better waste management. Alongside United Nations Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD), UNDESA and WEF, this side event addresses the global challenge of plastic pollution, focusing on supporting developing countries for national capacity, evidence-based policies and finance to implement a Global Plastics Treaty. Global Green Growth Institute will launch several new insight briefs addressing the hidden costs of plastic pollution, highlighting the importance of targeted development cooperation to empower countries to meet their treaty commitments and transition. Join us at the BEXCO Exhibition Centre to hear the insights live at Bridging Gaps, Empowering Change: Strengthening National Capacity, Evidence-Based Policy and Finance to Implement a Global Plastics Treaty.
