Innovation in Carbon Finance: Biocarbon Fund
Costa Rica: Coopeagri Forestry
Project
The project reimburses farmers for environmental
services of biodiversity protection as a result of
reforestation. Payments will be complemented
with the income from the carbon sales. The
project is expected to sequester around
0.56MtC02e by 2017.
China: Reforestation on Degraded
Lands in NW Guangxi (8,000 ha)
The project is blending three types of financing
from multiple sources: loans (World Bank,
commercial), private equity and carbon finance.
Carbon revenues (expected from 2011) serve as
a stable source of income up to 2017 that
contributes to the repayment of commercial bank
loans in the short-term, helping to bridge the gap
before revenues from timber harvesting are
produced.
Mobilizing Finance via Capital Markets
World Bank Green Bonds: $1.6 billion
raises through 22 issuances in 15
currencies since November 2008
Cool Bonds: $31.5 million
Eco Notes: $390 million
Example: Mongolia Index-based Livestock
Insurance Project
Products and Advisory Services for
catastrophe risk financing
 MultiCat Program
 Caribbean Catastrophe
Reinsurance Facility (2007,
2008, 2009)
 CAT DDOs
 Weather hedges
Livestock sector represents 87 % of GDP
and supports half of the population.
[999 and 2002] one-third of the national
herd was lost in successive harsh
seasons, showing extreme vulnerability.
This project introduces a new marketbased approach that spreads the risk
across herders, government, and the
private sector.
