Green Bond Market

Green bond are debt instruments that are issued by sovereign, corporate or local government borrowers to raise funds for investments in projects that have measurable sustainability-based impact. They are typically backed by assets, cash flows or revenue streams, and are often ring fenced to prevent them from being used for other purposes, like general operations of the issuer. Many also carry a designation to indicate compliance with certain environmental standards, such as those of International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Green Bond Principles or Climate Bond Standard (CBS). These designations may be accompanied by third party certifications.

The issuance of green bonds can help issuers attract investors with interest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) based investment destinations and meet disclosure requirements such as those set by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). They also support the development and growth of sustainable finance markets, especially where these are underdeveloped.
