We expect that Green Property Bonds are going to end up being 50% of the exploding green bonds market. Green Property Bonds can be issued against the whole value of a green building, or the value of a buildings portfolio. They can also be issued against a portfolio where the owners are planning to make it green. Lots of options.

But critical to making this concept work will be investor confidence in what is a green building.

London: the Climate Bonds Green Property Working Group of international experts today published their proposed rules as to what buildings can be used to issue Certified Climate Bonds. Climate Bonds and Green Bonds are where the bond proceeds go to assets important to addressing climate change. The new rules will help investors better understand the low carbon integrity of green building investments. They are part of the Climate Bonds Standard, a FairTrade-like labelling scheme for bonds.
