  • China's green bond market has experienced rapid growth, becoming the largest in the world with total issuances reaching 431.5 billion RMB (64.3 billion USD) as of October 2017, though approximately 35% of these do not meet international standards.
  • There is a significant gap between domestic and international green definitions, particularly regarding fossil fuel projects such as coal-fired power generation and 'clean' coal, which are accepted under Chinese definitions but generally rejected by international investors.
  • International investors face several structural and regulatory barriers when entering the Chinese domestic market, including insufficient capital account openness, a lack of currency hedging tools for the RMB, and low transparency in domestic credit ratings.
  • To attract more foreign capital, the report suggests establishing a certification mechanism based on unified green standards, simplifying the approval process for overseas issuances, and opening the domestic market to international credit rating agencies.
  • Private sector funding is critical for China's green transition, as public investment is estimated to cover only 10-15% of the required 2-4 trillion RMB annual investment needed to address environmental and climate challenges.
