Green Bonds & Sustainable Finance Instruments

This course covers the five main instruments in use today, from use-of-proceeds green bonds to sustainability-linked bonds and the newer transition bond category. You will learn how each instrument is structured, issued, and reported, and why the differences between them matter to issuers, investors, and the broader market.

You will also work through the real mechanics behind the 'greenium,' the pricing advantage that high-quality green bonds tend to achieve, and understand the conditions under which that advantage appears or disappears.
