A green bond is a debt security that is issued to raise capital specifically to support climate-related or environmental projects.
​
This specific use of the funds raised, to support the financing of specific projects, distinguishes green bonds from regular bonds. Thus, in addition to evaluating the standard financial characteristics, investors also assess the specific environmental purpose of the projects that the bonds intend to support.
