Description
By linking scale with impact, green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked (GSSS) bonds hold immense potential for mobilising private finance towards sustainable development. The session will highlight the trends, main drivers, challenges, and opportunities of the GSSS bond market – including the incentives and disincentives for both issuers and investors to enter this space. The discussion will focus specifically on the role that development actors and other key stakeholders can play in overcoming the disincentives and increasing the incentives around GSSS bonds, to ultimately scale up the use of these instruments. In doing so, the session will highlight the findings from the OECD-LuxSE survey on investor incentives for public sector GSSS bonds.
