Green bonds is one of the financing options available to private firms and public entities to support climate and environmental investments.  Investors are attracted to green bonds because they allow a closer connection to positive social and environmental impacts. The World Bank Treasury created the "What Are Green Bonds" guide to help people without a finance background better understand the nature of green bonds.
