Pilot Project Case Studies
ACR partners with municipalities to conduct pilot projects and present case studies on the use of the Green Finance Impact Methodologies.
Get Involved
ACR is actively engaging with U.S. municipal bond issuers to pilot our methods and guidance to ensure they are effective and practical to use. If your organization is interested in joining us as a pilot partner or you just want to learn more, send an email to ACRCapitalMarkets@winrock.org.
If ACR has not yet published a methodology for a particular municipal project, asset, or activity type, ACR will consider methods developed by external authors for approval through our methodology proposal and development process. Interested parties can send an email to ACRCapitalMarkets@winrock.org.
