UNDP has proudly supported the Jamaica Stock Exchange in promoting and building national capacity to raise financing for green, climate resilient initiatives in Jamaica with the launch of its Green Bonds Plus Platform. Green Bonds are debt instruments issued for the exclusive purpose of providing funding to support environmentally friendly, climate-related projects. This groundbreaking milestone in innovative climate financing ensures a pipeline of resources for projects commonly focused on: - Renewable energy and energy efficiency - Waste management - Efficient transport systems - Sustainable housing - Green/sustainable infrastructure, amongst others. Issuers of Green Bonds include Government, private companies and financial institutions and NGOs. Issuers are required to maintain transparency by providing regular reports on the use and management of proceeds to investors and the public, in keeping with the stated objectives.
