MINISTER of Housing, Urban Renewal, Environment and Climate Change Pearnel Charles Jr has lauded the launch of the Green Bond Project — the first of its kind in the Caribbean — which he says represents a watershed moment for the country.

The project, titled Facilitating an Enabling Environment for the Caribbean Green Bond Listing on the Jamaica Stock Exchange, was undertaken to explore the debt capital market as a source of financing for climate resilience and low-carbon development in Jamaica.

 

Charles Jr, who was keynote speaker at the hybrid official launch ceremony held on Wednesday (June 23), commended the collaborative effort between the Climate Change division in the Ministry of Housing, Urban Renewal, Environment and Climate Change, and the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) in this area of international importance.
