Moody’s says that 2016 will have $50billion in green bonds issued. Apparently in 2015, the total was over $42billion which is a stat that I would not have expected. Apple issued a green bond of $1.5billion this week in order to invest in projects like solar for their data center. The green bonds have a voluntary disclosure addition to otherwise standard corporate bonds and are tracked by the Climate Bonds Initiative. Their goal is to get to $100billion per year in green bonds.
