Download or read book How Green are Green Debt Issuers written by Jochen Schmittmann and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green debt markets are rapidly growing while product design and standards are evolving. Many policymakers and investors view green debt as an important component in the policy mix to achieve the transition to a low carbon economy and ensure the pricing of climate risks. Our analysis contributes to the nascent literature on the environmental impact of green debt by documenting the CO2 emission intensity of corporate green debt issuers. We find lower emission intensities for green bond issuers relative to other firms, but no difference for green loan and sustainability-linked loan borrowers. Green bond, green loan, and sustainability-linked loan borrowers lower their emission intensity over time at a faster rate than other firms.

Download or read book Handbook of Green Finance written by Jeffrey D. Sachs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook deals with various financial instruments, policies, and strategies in a policy-oriented approach for financing green energy projects. Recently, global investment in renewables and energy efficiency has declined, and there is a risk that it will slow further, Clearly, fossil fuels still dominate energy investments. This trend could threaten the expansion of green energy needed to meet energy security, climate, and clean-air goals. Several developed and developing economies are still following pro-coal energy policies. The extra CO2 generated from new coal-fired power plants could more than eliminate any reductions in emissions made by other nations. Finance is the engine of development of infrastructural projects, including energy projects. By providing several thematic and country chapters, this handbook explains that if we plan to achieve sustainable development goals, we need to create opportunities for new green projects and scale up the financing of investments that furnish environmental benefits. New financial instruments and policies such as green bonds, green banks, carbon market instruments, fiscal policy, green central banking, fintech, and community-based green funds are among the chief components that make up green finance.

Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of the Institutional Impact on the Green Bond Markets in India and China written by Vasundhara Saravade and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Climate finance has played a crucial role in addressing climate change impacts through the funding of various adaptation and mitigation efforts around the world. One such tool that has mobilized vast amounts of money in the climate finance markets, has been the green bond. Green bonds are specifically used to raise capital to channel funding into green or climate-friendly projects - thereby filling a significant funding gap when it comes to infrastructure and climate finance. Furthermore, it is now evident that these bonds are being issued in national interest of a country's growth and transition to a low carbon and climate change resilient (LCR) economy. That is why governments around the world have a key stake in ensuring that this market succeeds and grows. Research Objective: The need for LCR investment is especially strong in emerging economies like India and China, which are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. However, research related to institutional impact on the green bond market is currently limited. The research objective of this paper is to provide the basis for understanding how emerging country governments can potentially harness market growth, by maintaining the optimal balance of institutional pressure and regulatory policies in the market. Methods: A convergent parallel mixed method approach is used to fill the gaps in qualitative and quantitative data. Quantitative analysis includes descriptive statistics using excel, whereas qualitative analysis involves interviews with high-level market players in the Indian and international green bond markets. Results: Regulators are seen to be integral in growing the market in emerging economies like India and China. Their existing role and ability to influence the market depends on prevailing norms and field logics. For China, the institutional pressure exists in the green bond market due to the presence of regulators. For India, the institutional pressure is not completely there, as the regulatory priority is on other economic and governance issues. The growth in both markets is also driven by stakeholders like investors and industry associations, as well as due to international best practices. Conclusion: In order to support growth, regulators need to coordinate with other regulators to set out clear and harmonized definitions of green, enable the creation of market infrastructure and engage high priority social actors to implement the institutional changes in the green bond market.
