EU negotiators announce provisional agreement reached on European Green Bond Standard

28 February 2023

On 28 February 2023, the European Parliament and the European Council reached a provisional agreement on the introduction of the European Green Bond Standard (EU GBS).

The EU GBS will be a voluntary standard to help scale up and raise the environmental ambition of the EU green bond market.  The agreement is provisional as it still needs to be confirmed by the Council and the European Parliament, and adopted by both institutions before it is final. It will start applying 12 months after its entry into force.
