Does it promote the transition to low-emission economy and climate resilient growth ?
Is the project green in nature and provide clear environmental benefits?
Does it address key areas of concern such as climate change, natural resources depletion, loss of biodiversity and/or pollution control?
Does the project include mitigation and adaptation to climate change?
Are the costs part of the Medium Term Sector Strategies (MTSS) of selected MDAs?
Is there a defined revenue model or economic impact that generates resources that will be used to service the green bond?
What is the level of emissions contributions of the project and can these be calculated and documented?

Mitigation Focus Project Type NDC Target
Energy Efficiency Investment in equipment,systems and services which result in more efficient use of energy
2% per year energy efficiency (30% by 2030) Efficient gas generators
Resource Efficiency
Investments to improve industry processes that enhance energy conversion
Work towards ending gas flaring by 2030 Improve electricity grid
Renewable Energy Investments in equipment, systems and services which enable renewable energy
Work towards Off-grid solar PV of 13GW (13,000MW)
Clean Technology Investments in manufacturing of components that support renewables
Transport shift - car to bus
AdaptationFocus Project Type NDC Target
Sustainable Forest Management
Investments in initiatives that benefit sustainable agriculture, fishery, aquaculture, forestry and climate smart farm inputs such as biological crop protection or drip-irrigation
Climate smart agriculture and reforestation
• Credit to a sub-account, move to a sub-portfolio or• otherwise tracked by the issuer in an appropriate manner and
attested to by a formal internal process linked to the issuer’s lending and investment operations for Green Projects
Management of Proceeds of Green Bonds
• Up to date information on the use of proceeds to be renewed annually until full allocation,
• Include a list of the projects to which Green Bond proceeds have been allocated, as well as a brief description of the projects and the amounts allocated, and their expected impact.
• Annual energy savings, Annual GHG Reduction, Amount of Renewable Energy Produced, Capacity of the Project
Reporting
• Information be presented in generic terms or on an aggregated portfolio basis (e.g. percentage allocated to certain project categories).
• Use of qualitative performance indicators and, where feasible quantitative performance measures (e.g. energy capacity, electricity generation, greenhouse gas emissions reduced / avoided, number of people provided with access to clean power, reduction in the number of cars required, etc.) with the key underlying methodology and / or assumptions used in the quantitative determination.
Confidentiality & Transparency

• Raising awareness of economic and social benefits of the themes in the NDC
• Provides guidance for subsequent issuances
• Increase financial and industry sector confidence in either issuing green bonds or financing green projects.
• Provides an opportunity for existing budgets being spent inefficiently channelled into this new asset creation
• Adds to the cocktail of capital products being explored to ensure resources availability to fund the FG annual budge
• Provides a platform for the DMO to achieve the objective of extending tenor of the FG debt portfolio and also reduce interest cost.
• Reduction if FG share of fixed income market with larger representation from private sector issuers
• Provides more understanding to leverage partner programmes and funds to direct resources towards providing technical support or participation in green bond issuance

Enriching the Green Bond Market
natural eco---driving for more sustainable resilient economy!
Tight linkage with the nation’s development objectives, Economic Recovery & Growth
Plan (ERGP), Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), etc.
Make green bond part of the annual borrowing plan as long as there are programs
and projects within individual MDAs sector strategies that meet the criteria specified in
the Green Bond guidelines
Strengthen capacity within Federal Ministry of
Environment for oversight and adequate monitoring
Strengthen dialogue across relevant
MDAs to regularly identify projects and redirect resources to
initiate or scale
Build institutional base within the capital market for regular green bond issuance
Encourage sub-nationals and private sector to tap into the green bond market through relevant policies and market mechanism
Strengthen relevant internal capacities to monitor performance and aggregate information to report back to investors and the UNFCCC
