I would like to share an important news that is historic and will pave way to many investments for Climate Change funding
France has issued its first Green Bonds with a record seven billion euro that equates to about US dollars 7.5 billion sale, paving the way for the establishment of a genuine market in renewable energy bonds.
Proceeds from this sale of the 22 years bonds will be used to finance projects to address Climate Change

Hi Simran! Huh that's weird. I thought Korea also issued Green bonds in the past like several years ago but i guess it wasn't big enough to get attention. Thanks for sharing!
