Simply put:

Green finance = money used to protect the environment (forests, clean energy, climate)

Blue finance = money used to protect water and oceans (rivers, lakes, seas)

IFC rules = make sure both follow the same trusted global playbook

So, if investors already trust green bonds, they can trust blue bonds too, because they follow the same rules, transparency standards, and reporting requirements.

This alignment builds confidence, reduces risk, and encourages more investors to fund projects that protect oceans and water resources.
