Abstract
Green Bonds are fixed-income securities specifically designed to support climate and environmental projects. The demand for the green bond market is growing every day. Green Bonds are gaining importance as they appeal to environmentally conscious investors and are financial instruments that provide economic benefits. The main motivation of this study is to determine whether energy consumption has an effect on green bond issuance. In this context, the relationship between the green bond issuance amounts of 12 countries, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, England and the United States, in the years 2014–2021 and the amount of energy consumption in the same period are analysed by panel data analysis. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between coal, peat and oil shale, oil products, natural gas, renewables and waste, electricity and total energy consumption. In the expected direction there is a linear relationship between sustainable energy resources and the green bond issuance.
