Introducing the green bond.
為您介紹綠色債券。
Green bonds work a lot like regular bonds.
綠色債券就像一般債券一樣。
A company or government issues a bond, or a promise to repay at a future date with
interest, in exchange for money that can be used today to invest in income-generating
activities.
公司或政府發行債券，並承諾在未來利息時償還，以換取今天可用於投資創收活動的資金。
Green bonds work the same way, but instead of investing in any activity, they only fund businesses or projects that are green.
綠色債券也是一樣的，但是不會隨意的投資；他們只會用來投資綠色經濟或綠色的項目。
For example, a company might issue a green bond to finance the latest solar power plant,
clean technology investments or climate adaptation projects.
例如，一家公司可能會發行綠色債券來資助最新的太陽能發電廠，無汙染科技的投資或氣候適應的項目。
The market for green bonds has been growing rapidly, as investors around the world look to invest their money responsibly.
綠色債券市場一直在快速增長，因為世界各地的投資者都希望負責任地投資他們的資金。
Likewise, companies are seeing the benefits, as green bonds offer a way to finance projects
that might otherwise be difficult to finance.
同時，公司也看到了利潤，因為綠色債券為項目融資提供了一種方式，否則融資會十分困難。

long term.
