The nascent green bond market has witnessed
astonishing growth in recent years: worldwide issuance volumes topped $80
billion in 2016, while the diversification of the issuer base has continued
unabated as corporates and sovereigns alike have eyed up the funding
possibilities. Their raison d’être? To allocate capital to environmental
projects – and to offer investors maximum transparency by putting the impact of
their investment under the spotlight.
In this video, Eila Kreivi, Head of Capital
Markets at the European Investment Bank (EIB), explains how green bonds have
harnessed the power of the financial markets to drive positive change. And Ralf
Bauer, CFO at Nobelwind, explores how green bonds, including the innovative
‘Tera Neva’ solution have helped with the funding of wind parks and their role
in the development of new economic activities.
