How big is the global green-bond market?
A cumulative $580 billion of green bonds were sold through 2018, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Another $170 billion to $180 billion are likely to be sold in 2019 based on what’s currently happening in the market, BNEF analyst Daniel Shurey says. The market is expected to keep growing, with Europe alone needing about 180 billion euros ($203 billion) of additional investment a year to achieve 2030 emission targets set by the European Union in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. For now, however, green bonds are a tiny fraction of the more than $100 trillion global bond market.
