About this talk

On January 8, 2020 Bloomberg LP reported global issuance of green bonds and loans, as well as other types of sustainable debt, totaled $465 billion in 2019, up 78% from $261 billion in 2018, according to data compiled by BloombergNEF. The outstanding global volume of sustainable debt now exceeds $1 trillion. Green bonds, where the proceeds are used for environmentally-friendly projects, made up the majority of the issuance last year, totaling $271 billion, the data show. Sustainability-linked loans, which often have interest rates linked to a borrower’s performance on environmental, social or governance issues, were the fastest-growing sub-sector. Join our panel of experts for a discussion about the expanding global supply of sustainable debt across the corporate, municipal and and sovereign markets into 2020 and beyond.
