Laws to allow a ‘green bond’ market will be before the Rada this fall, allowing Ukraine to launch ‘green bonds’ by 2020, predicts Serhiy Savchuk, head of the state agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving. Green bonds, also known as ‘climate bonds’ are fixed-income financial instruments linked to climate change solutions. Although a relatively new asset class, the total volume of climate bonds was estimated at $160 billion in 2016.
