Are there treasury bond type instruments based on non-temporal maturation horizons?
For example a climate bond that yields when average temperature rise crosses 2c by some official measure?

Not quite, I’m thinking things with the solidity of bonds to which monetary policy could be linked, not individual bets

Bonds tend to have some maturity period attached to them (unless it's a perpetual), but the coupon can be a function of all kinds of exotic stuff (like catastrophe bonds people mentioned).
Specific examples like you posted probably don't exist because there's no natural market

Also seems like potentially an oracle problem?
Though I suppose same thing exists with CPI and no one cares.

Do you mean yield, or mature? Cat bonds come close (re-insurance).

Related question. There ought to be some way to "short" western democracy - or do you think it's too late?
