| Summary: | The explosive growth of green bonds in
the capital markets is increasingly attracting attention
from investors. This surge in interest has created a demand
for accessible information on the green bond market. This
primer was created in response to this demand and covers the
principles of this relatively new financial instrument. The
following intends to serve as a guide for those interested
in better understanding the nature of green bonds. The
content will aim to distinguish green bonds from other
traditional financial instruments. It will also provide
insight into the potential of green bonds to mobilize new
sources of climate finance. This paper includes the
following highlights: understanding bonds (chapter one);
understanding green bonds (chapter two); and benefits and potential. |
