THE global green bond market will double in size to reach a record-breaking milestone of US$1 trillion by the end of next year - with US$5 trillion now the new target for 2025 - says Climate Bonds Initiative chief executive officer Sean Kidney.
This, as green bond issuance reached a half-year record of US$227.8 billion in the first half of 2021, after totalling US$297 billion in the whole of 2020.
