There is growing interest in using the bond market to fund developments in clean energy, emission reduction projects and forestry. But there are problems. Most of the investment required to combat climate change needs to be directed to developing countries, which deters many potential investors. And, without a price on carbon, most low-carbon investments provide less attractive returns than conventional investments.

This webinar will explain how these challenges are being tackled, review some of the successful bond issues to date, and examine the potential for further use of environmental bonds.
