The Climate Bonds Standard aims to support the growth of green debt capital markets by:
The excess of liabilities over assets in a funded Defined benefit pension scheme; also known as under-funding. 


*Providing assurance for investors about the environmental integrity of climate bonds
*Providing governments with an easy-to-use tool to preference qualifying investments
*Fostering growth for investor demand in climate-related investment opportunities.


'''Example'''


The Climate Bond Standard is published by the Climate Bonds Initiative.
Pension liabilities = 100.  


Pension assets = 90.
The deficit would be:
100 - 90
= 10. 
(Not to be confused with the percentage ''funding level'' which in this example would be 90 / 100 = 90%.)
Relevant accounting standards include Section 28 of FRS 102.
