Abstract: With the market for green bonds rapidly developing in recent years, interest in this new financial instrument has also been rising. This chapter uses the Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis to examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of using green bonds to finance renewable energy projects in Asia. The potential for green bonds to become viable financing instruments for renewable energy projects is great and the market is seen to be gradually moving towards this direction. However, there remain several challenges that can be met with key supportive mechanisms. This chapter proposes a two-tiered national standards system and other supportive policies to support the building of a green bond market in developing Asia.
