Green sukuk is a form of Islamic green finance that helps in mobilisation of funds for green projects. Like conventional sukuk, green sukuk is an asset-based security based on sharia laws and is used mostly in Muslim majority countries to mobilise finances for infrastructure and large-scale developments (Sekuriti, 2019). It is a low-risk, guaranteed return for the investor. These programs provide solutions in areas where financial inclusion is low, as they minimise risk. For instance, they help governments and local authorities to implement sustainable projects or projects aimed at combating climate change such as renewable energy and waste management projects. The use of Sukuk also reduces debt levels by promoting economic security and equality. According to Ng (2015), Sukuk can be restructured to help in the attainment of sustainable development goals by integrating contemporary innovations in financial technology. Consistent with this argument, the OECD (2020) proposed the introduction of the incentive-compatible Sukuk masharakah model in the development of green bonds.
