Extended description
Green bonds are fixed-income instruments whose proceeds are earmarked for projects with environmental benefits, such as renewable energy, efficient buildings, clean transport, water infrastructure or climate adaptation. Issued by governments, municipalities, development banks and companies, they allow large pools of capital to finance the transition while providing investors with transparent use-of-proceeds frameworks and reporting on environmental outcomes.
