Abstract

In the past few years, the consequences of climate change have increasingly led to an immediate need for action. Fortunately, the public has largely shaped the necessary awareness when it comes to the urgency of the issue. Therefore, effective measures must be taken in order to face the various challenges of climate change. Significant institutions like the United Nations and the European Union have taken the lead by developing initiatives and action plans that define which measures are to be implemented to overcome these challenges. Some of them include the UN SDGs 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement, the EU Action plan and the EU Green Deal. They all build the fundament for the future sustainable development path. One crucial question in this regard is how the various initiatives and projects in the sustainable development context will be financed. Here capital markets play a crucial role. By shifting more capital in green projects, sustainability can be promoted and eventually significantly improved. In the past few years one of the emerged financial instruments with this objective are green bonds. However, despite their popularity investors are faced with the challenge of a lack of transparency. Nevertheless, policymakers have taken this issue seriously which is why new solutions have been introduced. Regulation plays a crucial role when it comes to ensuring transparency in the market. This paper offers an introduction to green bonds, their significance, and their challenges and lastly it gives an overview of the regulatory framework. Overall, it is important to clarify that despite its challenges the green bond market shows to be an essential tool in the capital markets when it comes to promoting sustainable development which is why discussing proper and effective regulatory solutions is so crucial.
