This fact sheet from the Climate Bonds Initiative provides a statistical overview of the global green bond market for the first half (H1) of 2018, detailing issuance volumes by issuer type, use of proceeds, and the impact of US tax legislation on municipal bonds.

• The US municipal green bond market experienced a decline in 2018, which the document attributes to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts of 2017 causing a decrease in refunding issuance volume.
• The document tracks green bond issuance across various sectors, noting specific volumes for 'pure-plays' in categories such as Water (USD 170bn with 1,141 pure-plays), Transport (USD 78.5bn), Waste (USD 8bn with 65 pure-plays), Land use (USD 4.8bn with 171 pure-plays), and Energy (USD 2.6bn with 7 pure-plays).
