The aim is to examine how major green-bond frameworks organize credibility and its implications for the green transition.
Conducted bibliometric positioning and comparative document analysis of seven green-bond frameworks.
Performed a scoping synthesis to identify commonalities and differences in the frameworks.
Analyzed factors such as project selection, proceeds management, reporting, and external review.
The frameworks show convergence in product grammar but diverge in credibility architecture, especially in external review and governance.
Current frameworks improve transparency and comparability but do not guarantee enhanced environmental impact.
Challenges include fragmentation of standards, risks of greenwashing, and limited safeguards against refinancing existing projects.
