Concerns about “greenwashing” have been raised by a climate campaign group after Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA), which operates the city’s international airport, raised US$4 billion by issuing a package of bonds that includes a US$1 billion five-year green bond.

Paris-based climate campaigner Reclaim Finance said the project itself raised “serious climate and biodiversity-related risks” and called on investors not to participate to avoid “greenwashing and reputational risks”.
