Abstract: Green bonds are becoming an important way to raise money for projects that protect the environment and support clean energy. The aim of this study is to understand how green bonds help in financing sustainable projects and to compare India’s progress with major global markets like the US, Europe, and China. To achieve this, secondary data has been used from SEBI, RBI, government reports, and international financial sources. The findings show that global markets are more advanced, with strong rules, high investor trust, and large investment flows into green projects. India is growing quickly in this area, especially in renewable energy, but still needs clearer policies, stronger monitoring systems, better incentives, and more investor awareness to match global standards. The study suggests that if India focuses on transparency, offers financial benefits, and strengthens certification standards, it can attract more investors and speed up the growth of sustainable projects. This will help India support environmental protection and achieve long-term climate goals more effectively.
