Abstract

Sovereign bonds are central to aligning finance flows with the net zero transition required to meet the Paris Agreement temperature goals. This report aims to understand the system-wide context within which central banks can make a responsible contribution to this alignment. It reviews market innovations and challenges, considers existing practice and sets out robust options for action.
