Canada to Launch Sixth Green Bond Issuance
The Government of Canada is launching its sixth issuance of Canadian-dollar-denominated green bonds this week, subject to market conditions.
For this issuance, the government plans to issue a new 10-year green bond. This follows the October 2025 issuance of a new $1 billion 30-year bond and the $1.5 billion re-opening of the 7-year bond that was first issued in February 2025, both of which saw robust demand.
Canada's green bond program, launched in March 2022, is advancing Canada's investments in clean growth, renewable energy, climate action, and environmental protection. Green bonds unlock private capital to speed up projects such as green infrastructure and nature conservation.
The government remains committed to regular green bond issuances. Projects funded by green bonds will grow Canada's economy and create jobs across the country. Mobilizing capital through green bonds is an important tool of Canada's strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Government of Canada's green bonds will meet demand from investors seeking green investment opportunities backed by Canada's AAA credit rating, while contributing to the development of a stronger sustainable finance market both domestically and globally.
