Política Pública en Materia de Bonos Verdes: Principales Avances de 2016

The document highlights 2016 as a pivotal year for green bonds, noting the emergence of sovereign green bonds in Poland and France and the increasing use of these instruments to fund Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It argues that a green debt market of at least $1 trillion per year is necessary by 2020 to meet low-carbon infrastructure needs. Key policy tools identified include credit enhancement, tax incentives, and the establishment of official national guidelines, with specific examples of initiatives in China, India, Brazil, and Mexico.

• Green bonds have become a primary mechanism for governments to raise capital to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) following the entry into force of the Paris Agreement in 2016.
• The year 2016 saw the first national government sovereign green bond issuance by Poland in December, followed by France in January 2017 with an issuance of $7.5 billion.
• To meet low-carbon infrastructure requirements, the document states that a green debt market of at least $1 trillion annually must be consolidated by 2020.
• Various countries are implementing innovative financial tools to grow the green bond market, such as the People's Bank of China considering preferential rates for green investments, the French Banking Federation proposing preferential risk weightings, and the US (via OPIC and USAID) offering credit enhancement tools.
• Significant investment is required for mitigation projects in 21 emerging markets between 2016 and 2030, totaling $23 trillion, with specific needs including $2.1 trillion for India, $1.3 trillion for Brazil, and $104 billion for Nigeria.
