14 . GREEN BONDS: MOBILISING THE DEBT CAPITAL MARKETS FOR A LOW-CARBON TRANSITION

The geography of the green bond market is expanding and diversifying (Box 8). Green bonds have been issued in 23 jurisdictions, including 20 for domestic and foreign investors, and three for foreign investors only. Green bonds have been issued in 23 currencies and in 14 markets of the G20.

unlabelled green project bonds and ABS totalled about USD 15 billion in 2014 according to CBI/HSBC (2015). In practice less than 2 billion of the 15 billion in ABS included as climate-aligned bonds have been selflabelled as green16 and few project or covered bonds have been labelled as such.
