Green bonds are fixed income securities which finance investments with environmental or climate-related benefits. In order to validate that the bond qualifies as "green", issuers usually either certify it or contract an external review company. In the nine month to September 2020, the Amsterdam-based provider of ESG and corporate governance research and ratings company Sustainalytics contributed a second-party opinion for green bonds valued at almost 4.6 billion U.S. dollars - significantly lower than the 18.6 billion U.S. dollars of bonds they reviewed in 2019.
