First let's understand what are bonds and green bonds.

Companies and Government organizations needs a lot of money. The

amount required by these large companies or government

organizations is so high that it cannot be provided by Banks in form of

loan. So these companies and government organizations turn up to

public. They release something called bond. People/Investors buys

that bond and in return they receive interest from companies after

certain time. Companies that releases the bond are called the issuer.

So what are green bonds?

A green bond is a bond which is issued for the development of

brownfield sites. Brownfield sites are areas of land that are under

utilized, have abandoned buildings, or are under developed. They often

contain low levels of industrial pollution.
