The International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) developed the Green Bond Principles (GBP) that promote a comprehensive development of the green bond market. Likewise, the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) has introduced the Green Bond criteria for the Hydroelectric Power sector. The criteria for the mitigation component are that greenhouse gases emissions must be below 50 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalents emitted per kilowatt -hour of electricity (g CO2eq /kWh-1) to allow reliable power. To access a green bond from both a local and international source hydroelectric projects in Bolivia must be aligned with the GPB, comply with the CBI mitigation and adaptation criteria, and be framed within the Securities Market Regulations Amendments for Thematic Bonds.

Keywords : Green Bonds; Greenhouse Gases; Sustainable Finance and Hydroelectric.
