Interest in investments that support environmental and social impact objectives is growing rapidly among both institutional and individual investors. This is particularly true with respect to the retail-focused municipal bond market. Every week we see an increasing number of new municipal bond issues – both tax-exempt and taxable with a “Green Bonds”, “Social Bonds” or “Sustainability Bonds” label.

Bloomberg data indicates that Municipal Green Bond issuance alone increased by 65% from $11.093 billion in 2019 to $18.359 billion in 2020. Earlier this year Standard & Poor’s estimated total municipal sustainable debt issuance (including all three categories) of $30 billion for calendar year 2021.
