This bond for low-carbon development and sustainable water management will finance, among other things, natural infrastructure solutions in the Netherlands that are crucial for protecting one of the world&#8217;s lowest-lying countries from floods and sea-level rise.<\/p>\n<p>The enthusiasm for the bond also signals a bigger trend: the shift in conservation finance from a niche market to a mainstream, large-scale investment strategy.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Green Bond?<\/h2>\n<p>A bond allows an institution (in this case the Dutch government) to borrow money from multiple investors and pay them back over time. For example, the U.S. government issues\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/t\/treasurybond.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">treasury bonds<\/a>\u00a0to raise money from citizens to finance government projects. Now the concept is being applied to the challenges of climate change and disaster risk management.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/212189234\/inarticle --><\/p>\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0' class=\"ad-float-left\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px !important;\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>The bond benefits the Dutch government by allowing it to raise capital for major infrastructure projects, such as renewable energy facilities, low-carbon transportation systems and water and flood defense infrastructure. The bonds benefit investors (which includes pension funds, banks, and insurance companies) by offering them a stable and predictable investment with a regular rate of return. The Dutch government can repay investors with money raised through a variety of tax and revenue sources.<\/p>\n<p>So, what qualifies as a &#8220;green&#8221; bond? Several labeling and certification schemes have been developed to determine if the investments meet certain criteria for sustainability. The Dutch bond was certified by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatebonds.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Climate Bonds Initiative<\/a>\u00a0(CBI), which uses a robust set of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatebonds.net\/standard\/water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">standards<\/a>\u00a0that have become a leading framework for green bonds. The certification followed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wri.org\/blog\/2018\/05\/forests-and-wetlands-are-water-infrastructure-new-green-bond-helps-finance-their\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBI&#8217;s Water Infrastructure Criteria<\/a>, which was crafted with the help of experts at WRI and the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation, along with technical and industry professionals.<\/p>\n<h2>Fighting Climate Change with Finance<\/h2>\n<p>The Netherlands is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2017\/06\/15\/world\/europe\/climate-change-rotterdam.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">naturally vulnerable<\/a>\u00a0to climate change. Much of the country lies below sea level and is protected by dikes, levees and sea walls. Massive floods periodically inundate parts of the country, often causing extensive damage and loss of life. In response, the Dutch have become not only a world leader in engineering solutions to rising sea levels, but a nation heavily invested in fighting climate change even as it adapts to it.<\/p>\n<p>The bond will\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.dsta.nl\/subjects\/g\/green-bonds\/documents\/publication\/2019\/05\/21\/one-pager-20-year-green-dda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fund<\/a>\u00a0a wide range of low-carbon projects, including renewables (such as onshore solar energy and offshore wind energy), energy efficiency (such as residential energy efficiency upgrades) and clean transportation (such as public passenger transport infrastructure). The bond also has a focus on sustainable water management, especially the use of nature-based solutions and green infrastructure approaches for reducing flood risks in coastal and low-lying areas.<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands has already embraced the natural infrastructure approach through its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Room_for_the_River_(Netherlands)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Room for the River<\/a>\u00a0program, a pioneering example of how to live with rising water, rather than fight it. Instead of building higher and higher levees to confine rivers to narrow channels, the project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/how-the-dutch-make-room-for-the-river\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">restored<\/a> part of the natural river flood plain by pushing back dikes and digging new channels. The flood-prone areas are restored into wetlands, reservoirs or public parks that are designed to temporarily store flood water. The new green bond could take the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2014\/feb\/16\/flooding-netherlands\">lessons learned<\/a>\u00a0from Room for the River and scale them even more widely across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch have several examples of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wriorg.s3.amazonaws.com\/s3fs-public\/integrating-green-gray_0.pdf?_ga=2.227204765.1275636092.1560182901-735189898.1502292474\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">projects<\/a>\u00a0that harness natural processes to enhance large-scale infrastructure construction. In the province of South Holland, erosion of sand dunes and shoals on the Delfland Coast put the inland areas at risk for flooding. Engineers devised a system to address this through regular &#8220;sand nourishment&#8221; \u2013 replacing the lost sand with material dredged elsewhere. In 2011, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management developed an innovative approach by building a giant &#8220;Sand Motor&#8221; that mimics the natural structure and movement of dunes \u2013 continually replenishing the sand while providing primary sea defense.<\/p>\n<h2>Seeing Green<\/h2>\n<p>So how did investors react when the recent Dutch Green Bond was issued?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatebonds.net\/2019\/05\/dutch-sovereign-gb-eur21bn-orders-35-times-oversubscribed-climate-bonds-certified-20-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Within 90 minutes<\/a>\u00a0of the bond&#8217;s issuance, the government had received 21.2 billion euros ($23.8 billion) worth of orders for 5.98 billion ($6.71 billion) euros of certificates, over-subscribing the bond by 3.5 times the original amount.
