It\u2019s a first sign of significant investor appetite for the asset class. The bonds will go on sale this Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cue Saudi:<\/strong> Shortly after ADCB\u2019s announcement, Reuters reported that Saudi\u2019s sovereign wealth fund is looking to go to market with its maiden green bond issuance as early as this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>We need green finance \u2014 and lots of it \u2014 across emerging markets to finance both mitigation (trying to slow the pace at which the planet is warming) and adaptation (figuring out how to ensure our cities stay liveable, that homes are safe, that businesses can operate) in the decades to come. Rich countries have promised to make USD 100 bn in climate finance available to developing economies by 2035. Our friend Mahmoud Mohieldin, the UN climate champion for Egypt, says the real number is in the tns, not bns.<\/p>\n<p>^^ We have more on this story and more in this morning\u2019s news well, below.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>Last week, the buzz was coming from the <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/egypticf-africanministers.com\/\">Egypt-International Cooperation Forum<\/a><\/strong> <strong>(Egypt-ICF)<\/strong>, which wrapped on Friday.

The final two days saw Egypt\u2019s International Cooperation Minister Rania Al Mashat give a glimpse into its guidebook for \u201cfair climate finance\u201d set to be launched during COP27, proposals for how to tackle spiraling green borrowing costs \u2014 and a robust defense of African nations\u2019 gas production and export ambitions despite emissions reductions targets.

The event runs through Tuesday.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-07\"><\/a> <strong>SIGN OF THE TIMES- Global oil and gas exploration hit new lows this year: <\/strong>Oil and gas exploration activity has significantly slowed down this year, with the number of exploration licenses, leases, and amount of land being tendered for exploration falling to new lows, according to research by energy consultancy <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3KUC0dT\">Rystad Energy<\/a>. The amount of land awarded for exploration has fallen to a 20-year low to 320k sqm between January and August. Globally, the number of lease rounds dropped to 21, down half from the 42 rounds held during the first eight months of 2021. Rystad is projecting 44 lease rounds this year (the lowest number since 2000) compared with 58 last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How are we looking in our neck of the woods?<\/strong> Licensed acreage in Africa shrank 70% y-o-y to 46k sqm in Egypt, Morocco, Angola and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s driving the contraction? <\/strong>Rystad thinks the slowdown is largely because of the lingering impact of the covid-19 pandemic, which sent oil prices below zero, promoting oil companies to sharply cut exploration and governments to cancel tender processes. Meanwhile, some governments are \u201cpausing or halting leases and encouraging companies to wrap up exploration activity within already awarded blocks,\u201d a trend it says could accelerate as \u201cgovernments are less eager to invest in fossil fuel production and instead look ahead to a net zero future.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The world may have already passed five dangerous tipping points and could be on the <\/strong><strong>precipice of multiple other \u201cdisastrous\u201d ones<\/strong>, several news outlets write, referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.abn7950\">a study<\/a> published late last week. The report found evidence for 16 tipping points \u2014 where passing a particular temperature threshold automatically triggers unstoppable change in a climate system, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2022\/sep\/08\/world-on-brink-five-climate-tipping-points-study-finds\">the Guardian reports<\/a>. Five of these may have already been passed thanks to the 1.1\u00b0C of global heating humanity has already caused. At 1.5\u00b0C \u2014 the threshold at which signatories to the <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/process-and-meetings\/the-paris-agreement\/the-paris-agreement\">2015 Paris Agreement<\/a> had hoped to limit global heating \u2014 another five tipping points could be passed, including the loss of almost all mountain glaciers. The final six tipping points require global heating of at least 2\u00b0C to be triggered, the study\u2019s authors say.
