4. Why Green Bonds? Broadly endorsed by global leaders
”For investors, green bond markets offer a stable, rated and liquid
investment with long duration. For issuers, green bonds are a way to tap
the huge US$100 trillion pool of patient private capital managed by global
institutional fixed-income investors.”
“The development of this new global asset class is an opportunity to
advance a low carbon future while raising global investment and spurring
growth.”
Mark Carney
Governor of the Bank of England
Chairman of the Financial Stability Board
