Green Bonds and Climate Financing

Fixed income is a way to change humanity's outcome.

Key information

In November 2008, the World Bank became the first institution to issue a green bond.

• Green bonds typically have the same structure, credit risk, yield, and rewards as traditional bonds.

• Their differentiation comes from “greenness” or being environmentally friendly.

• Although that is not particularly well regulated, the investment in itself is structured just like any other fixed-income security.

• There are also social, blue bonds, etc.
