Channelling trillions into climate solutions

Climate Bonds is an international organisation working to mobilise global capital for climate action and resilience, ensuring investments support a sustainable, adaptive, and low-carbon future.

Setting the Green Standard

Climate Bonds screens self-labelled green bonds against a science-based methodology to ensure they align with climate goals, environmental impact, and minimum safeguards, creating a robust and practical Standard for market integrity. The green bond market continues to grow, with stronger alignment driving more credible labelled issuance. In 2024, aligned annual volume reached USD670.9bn. 

Global sustainable debt volume aligned with Climate Bonds definition hits USD6 trillion

“The bond market intimidates—so let’s make it work for the planet."  Sean Kidney, CEO, Climate Bonds Initiative

The volume of green, social, sustainability, and sustainability-linked bonds (GSS+) aligned with Climate Bonds’ methodologies has surpassed USD6 trillion outstanding — up from just USD2 billion fifteen years ago.

This milestone reflects accelerating momentum in climate and sustainability-linked capital markets, with over USD1 trillion added in the past year alone. As decarbonisation and just transition efforts scale globally, trillions more in aligned issuance are expected to enter the market each year before 2030.
