Can green bonds—intended to drive sustainability—complicate emissions reporting? This episode of Fixed on ESG explores the complexities of green bonds and their reported emissions. We examine a proposal by the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) and highlight issues like vanishing emissions, unallocated proceeds, increased reporting demands, and the need for a comprehensive approach to emissions assessment, while considering the broader implications for investors.
PGIM Fixed Income’s Taylor Chatlos, ESG Specialist hosts this discussion with John Ploeg, CFA, Co-Head of ESG Research.
