The British government has decided to issue bonds to individuals called "green bonds" that limit the use of the funds raised to the environmental field.
"Green bond" is a bond that raises funds only in fields such as greenhouse gas reduction and environmental protection, and the British government will raise at least £ 15 billion in the new fiscal year and 2.2 trillion yen in Japanese yen on the 3rd. Announced plans to publish on a scale.
It is said that it is the first time in the world that the government issues it to individuals.
The United Kingdom, which chairs the COP26 of the United Nations Conference on Global Warming Countermeasures in November, has launched a series of environmental measures such as the supply of electricity from offshore wind power, and this plan will be funded by green bonds. I am thinking of rushing to realize it.
Green bonds are issued one after another by companies and local governments in Japan, and are also spreading in Europe such as France, and the movement to utilize them is expanding as awareness of environmental issues increases worldwide.
