Euromoney explores the ways in which developing countries are funding, building and maintaining critical infrastructure in harmony with the UN’s sustainability goals.
Led by China, Asia saw the highest growth rate in the green bond market in 2018, as well as the highest number of new issuers. Meanwhile, the $34bn in Chinese green bond issuance in 2018 represents a remarkable change of outlook for the world’s biggest contributor to CO2 emissions.
Green bonds like these have shown the way forward in socially responsible investments, yet they only represent a tiny fraction of the overall bond market. In this podcast, Euromoney examines what is needed to move the needle on green finance in a meaningful way.
