Bloomberg Introduces Government Climate Tilted Bond Indices

Bloomberg, a global leader in business and financial information, has announced the launch of the “Bloomberg Government Climate Tilted Bond Indices”, a new benchmark family (including 14 indices at launch) for government bond investors seeking exposure to the transition to a low-carbon economy.

The indices adjust country weights in Bloomberg Treasury and Sovereign indices based on Bloomberg Government Climate Scores (GOVS), which assess a government’s relative preparedness in the transition to a low-carbon world using transparent, data-driven indicators. The GOVS scores comprise three equally weighted pillars: Carbon Transition, Power Sector Transition and Climate Policy.
