Bonjour! from Paris, which is currently buzzing with climate change enthusiasts and hopeful negotiators as the COP21 ends its first week.
And what a week at Le Bourget it’s been. From some of the discussions it looks like green bonds are firmly on the climate finance agenda.
The FOUR 2015 headlines everyone should take away:
1) Green bonds are financing a range of green projects – from renewable energy to sustainable water.
2) Green bond issuance is growing more diverse across the world – it’s not just about the development banks anymore!
3) It’s still a young, exciting market full of firsts with expansion in terms of geography, types of issuer and who’s investing.
4) This is the biggest year ever for green bonds with over $40bn issued to date in 2015.
