A graduate in monetary and financial economics of Bocconi University, Milan, Aldo shaped EIB’s first Climate Awareness Bond, the world’s first green bond, in 2007. In 2017-18, he co-authored two White Papers on the Need for a Common Language in Green Finance with the China Green Finance Committee, using them to . support EIB’s proposals on taxonomy and green bond standard in EC’s High-Level and Technical Expert Groups (where Aldo was member of the subgroup on EU Green Bond Standard) as well as within the Green Bond Principles (where Aldo co-chaired the working group on Green Projects Eligibility in 2018/19). EIB has been the first issuer to tune the documentation of its Sustainability Funding instruments to the EU Taxonomy Regulation which entered into force in July 2020.
