International climate agreements such as the Paris Agreement (COP21) and the Glasgow Climate Pact (COP26) have driven this market, pushing countries to meet Net Zero Targets through sustainable financing. The Paris Agreement set legally binding commitments to limit global warming, leading to increased investment in renewable energy, green transportation, and climate resilience projects, often funded through these bonds.
Institutional investors, including sovereign wealth, pension, and mutual funds, have increasingly integrated these bonds into their investment portfolios. The surge in impact investing and sustainable finance has prompted asset managers to allocate significant resources toward climate-aligned projects, reinforcing the importance of these bonds in financial sectors.
Driven by accelerated urbanization, climate action commitments, and growing investor demand for sustainable finance, the Asia-Pacific region has experienced a substantial increase in green bond issuances. India is increasingly leveraging these bonds to finance water sustainability projects as the country faces growing challenges related to water scarcity and climate change. Australia has become a key player in waste management financing, using these bonds to fund circular economy initiatives and landfill reduction programs. Renewable energy expansion and low-carbon development are being supported by these bonds in Singapore, which is becoming a regional center for green finance.
