The Business of Alt Protein: Green Financing for Alternative Proteins—Introducing the Climate Bonds Alternative Proteins Criteria
Event description
Alternative proteins are part of the necessary shift in how food is produced and consumed if we are to meet global nutrition needs while remaining in planetary boundaries. In this session, India Langley from the Climate Bonds Initiative will introduce the new Alternative Proteins Criteria: a science-based framework defining what counts as green investment in this fast-growing sector. Developed through extensive expert consultation, the Criteria aim to channel global capital towards sustainable protein production, distribution and innovation and help investors, policymakers, and producers drive a just transition within food systems.
Meet the speaker
India Langley
AGRI-FOOD SUSTAINABILITY ANALYST, CLIMATE BONDS
India Langley led the development of the Climate Bonds Initiative’s Alternative Proteins Criteria, part of the organisation’s global Standard for credible green investment. Her work focuses on establishing science-based thresholds and pathways for sustainable food production, including cultivated meat, fermentation-derived, and plant-based proteins. Before joining Climate Bonds, India spent over a decade working across agrifood sustainability, with experience spanning industry innovation to academic research, all focused on novel low-emission food production systems.
