About this course
A green bonds and sustainable finance course for analysts, portfolio and treasury teams, ESG specialists and finance students, built on fictional issuers in a spreadsheet. You price a green bond and its conventional twin with PV and measure the greenium in basis points, average it simply and size-weighted and turn it into a coupon saving, total a use-of-proceeds register and report allocated, unallocated and refinancing shares, attribute tCO2e avoided and MWh to the bond per USD million, model a sustainability-linked bond with a KPI test, coupon step-up and expected coupon, calculate a portfolio's weighted average carbon intensity (WACI), build an illustrative temperature-style alignment score and chart a bank's green lending share. Market frameworks such as the ICMA Green Bond Principles are referred to in general terms. Educational only, not investment advice. The first lab is free.
