Background of the Study
Green financing refers to investments and financial instruments aimed at funding projects that have positive environmental benefits. In Nigeria, the adoption of green financing has become a critical element in the country’s efforts to address environmental sustainability and climate change. The Nigerian Green Bond Market, which was established in 2017, aims to channel funds towards environmentally friendly projects such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and climate-resilient infrastructure (Adewale & Oluwaseun, 2023).
Despite growing interest in green finance, challenges such as limited awareness, inadequate regulatory frameworks, and access to capital have hindered the full potential of green financing in Nigeria. This study analyzes the performance of the Nigerian Green Bond Market, evaluating the challenges and opportunities in financing environmentally sustainable projects.
Statement of the Problem
Green financing in Nigeria, although gaining traction, faces several challenges including a lack of investor confidence, regulatory barriers, and insufficient market development. The Nigerian Green Bond Market, while promising, has yet to achieve its full potential in mobilizing funds for environmentally sustainable projects (Oluwaseun, 2024).
This study examines the performance of the Nigerian Green Bond Market, identifying key barriers to growth and proposing strategies to enhance the effectiveness of green financing in the country.
