11 Market Dynamics and Key Developments
Major Investors in Green BondsThe success of a Green Bond is often judged in part by support from the ‘deep green’ investors. Below is an overview of both well-known & niche buyers.
Illustrative Green Bond Investors: Green Bond Investors Expectations
Some investors have a dedicated SRI/Green Portfolio while others who have a particular interest in green bonds purchase these from a general fund.
Some investors may have a preference for Green bonds to adhere to voluntary standards such as the Green Bond Principles.
To avoid the risk of green washing, investors are increasingly interested in impact reporting over the life of a green bond.
Investors have begun to add ESG (Environmental Social Governance) as a key component of their credit / equity research reports. At times their investment decision is linked to the issuers overall ESG score.
In general, as the green bond market grows investors are developing a better understanding of what level of transparency they want from the issuers of green bonds.

Outlook for Green Bonds
The Green Bond market is just starting, but the upside potential is $1 trillion/year or more, to meet climate goals.
Source: International Energy Agency World Energy Outlook 2012, IEA, Ceres, IRENA.
• Recent estimates by reputable sources suggest that an enormous amount of capital investment in green uses will be required over the next 50 years
• If debt capital markets provide 50% of the needed capital, then the Green Bond market could exceed $1 trillion/year of new issuances.
