Jamaica faces significant challenges related to climate change and social inequality, creating an urgent need to unlock financial flows that support the country’s sustainability agenda and drive the transition to a low-carbon, equitable economy.
The expansion of the Green, Social, Sustainability, and Sustainability-linked (GSS+) bond market in Jamaica presents a unique opportunity to harness the power of capital markets to achieve both national and global environmental and social goals.
By enabling the growth of the GSS+ bond market, Jamaica can attract a more diverse range of investors while expanding the sources of financing for impactful projects. These thematic bonds not only provide issuers with the tools to fund sustainable initiatives but also promote Jamaica as a leader in responsible investment opportunities. Through this market, issuers can contribute to the country’s sustainability ambitions, aligning with global best practices while creating tangible benefits for the environment, society, and the economy.
