The first Climate Bonds Café of 2025! We've got a good one for you...

Today, we sit down with Climate Bonds' Agri-Food Lead, Reyes Tirado to discuss the launch of the Alternative Proteins Criteria. Now, that may not sound the most relevant to your day-to-day, but did you know livestock accounts for 60% of agri-food emissions, yet provides just 17% of global calories and 38% of protein.

Alternative proteins offer a scalable, climate-aligned path to meet growing global food demand — with significantly lower environmental impact. We'll discuss with Reyes the process, the ambitions and the benefits of this world-first for sustainable finance and the food sector.
