Following COP21 in Paris, green bonds are being highlighted as an investment option to assist nations in bridging the climate finance gap and meeting their carbon reduction commitments.
The potential for mobilising climate change solutions and green infrastructure investment through green bonds is huge, given the international bond market is valued at over US$100 trillion.
But what are they?
How do they work?
And what is a bond anyway?
There are many questions around green bonds, Climate Bonds Initiative has the answers.
