Annual issuance of sustainable bonds

Preliminary figures from 2024 show annual sustainable bond issuance above $1 trillion for the first time since 2021. After a decline in annual issuance to $970 billion in 2022, recovering to just shy of $1 trillion in 2023, the sustainable bond market continues its incremental growth, although is still some way from reaching the all time high of 2021 which saw $1.15 trillion in sustainable bond issuance.

For more in-depth analysis of the trends in the sustainable bond market in 2024 look out for Environmental Finance’s Sustainable Bonds Insight Guide 2025 coming in February 2025.
