dc.description.abstract | The climate crisis is upon us. Floods in Chennai, forest fires in Australia and droughts in South Africa, ice melting faster in Greenland, Ghoromara island disappearing due to rising water levels. All these are due to the rise of greenhouse gases. To mitigate the impact of climatic changes, governments worldwide came together in Paris in 2015 and agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The recent IPCC report (IPCC, 2021)has painted a rather grim picture for the planet. The Glasgow Summit (UNFCC, 2021) held in November 2021 has shown urgency is needed to tackle the climate crisis. Technology and finance are two essential weapons in this fight. Since a largescale transition to lower greenhouse gas emissions is required, large sums of money are needed to bring about this transition. This article looks at green bonds used to finance this transition. It also looks at greenium, a premium for green bonds that recently attracted significant interest. | en_US |
