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 volumes reached USD1.05 trillion, an 11% increase from 2023, with green bonds accounting for just over USD670 billion.
