Computational modeling approaches evolved due to financial technology innovation within the green bond market. Green bonds are debt products that finance environmental and sustainability projects. Their global popularity and increasing investor interest make investors use them to align their portfolios with their sustainability goals. This chapter has three main sections. An overview of the green bond market, discussing various types along with their issuance levels and geographical distribution, is discussed in the first section. The second section discusses the reasons for the green bond market growth and the challenges that impede its development. The final section discusses specific computational models applied to green bonds in detail. These include financial pricing models, life cycle assessments, risk assessment models, scenario analysis, portfolio optimization models, agent-based modeling, and network analysis. The chapter argues that as the market evolves, computational models will play an increasingly crucial role in pricing, impact assessment, and performance tracking, ultimately contributing to the financial sustainability of green investments. All financial services industry stakeholders benefit from inputs and insights drawn from this chapter on how computational models provide insights into green bonds.
