Abstract This study examines investor perceptions regarding green bonds, focusing on key factors influencing investment decisions, barriers to adoption, and potential strategies to enhance market participation. Green bonds, which finance environmentally sustainable projects, have gained traction in global financial markets, yet investor hesitation persists due to concerns about returns, transparency, and regulatory frameworks. The research aims to analyze investor awareness, financial motivations, and sustainability concerns. The results indicate that while 81.3% of respondents are aware of green bonds, only 56.3% have invested in them. The primary motivations include environmental sustainability (71.9%) and ethical investment options (59.4%), whereas barriers such as limited availability (31.3%), complexity in understanding (28.1%), and lower returns (21.9%) hinder widespread adoption. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and frequency distributions, confirm that regulatory policies and financial incentives significantly impact investor willingness. A t-test analysis (t = -0.613, p = 0.545) reveals no statistically significant difference between gender and investment considerations. The study highlights the importance of enhanced financial literacy and policy support to strengthen investor confidence in green bonds.
