*GREEN BONDS: THE SHAPE OF GREEN FIXED-INCOME INVESTING TO COME
<http://www.thejei.com/green-bonds-the-shape-of-green-fixed-income-investing-to-come-2/>*

So far, 2020 has proven to be a year of profound global turmoil, affecting
all aspects of human life. From the socio-economic Covid-19 disruptions and
protests against racial inequality to the continuously escalating climate
crisis, humanity is at a veritable crossroads in terms of addressing and
remedying past, present, and future risks to society and the planet. With
the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), the global community has established ambitious yet critical targets
to safeguard and improve the lives of present and future generations. In
order to achieve these goals, numerous stakeholders, including law- and
policy-makers, industry and civil society representatives, and academia,
have been developing and conceptualizing appropriate tools and strategies.

Fixed income securities that integrate environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) factors have become a crucial component of most
sustainable investment and climate-related risk management strategies.
Global green bond issuance has grown from USD 87.2 billion in 2016 to USD
257.7 billion in 2019. By providing the most comprehensive overview to date
of all green bond variants, this 2020 issue of the *Journal of
Environmental Investing* explores the core attributes of green bonds, such
as their potential returns from financial and nonfinancial angles,
taxonomical and underlying conceptual considerations, and academic
assessments of the market as a whole. The authors of this issue provide
contemporary insights and an up-to-date snapshot of the evolving
characteristics of climate and green bonds.
