This chapter considers how sovereign green bonds could effectively contribute to accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy. In fact, considering that sovereigns normally issue bonds in order to finance their wide government needs, it is important to understand why they should issue specific green bonds to invest in climate-smart infrastructures, such as renewable energy generation and climate-smart technology research and development.

This chapter considers how sovereign green bonds could effectively contribute to accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy. In fact, considering that sovereigns normally issue bonds in order to finance their wide government needs, it is important to understand why they should issue specific green bonds to invest in climate-smart infrastructures, such as renewable energy generation and climate-smart technology research and development.
