Green Capital and Investments for Sustainable Growth

The urgency to address global social and environmental challenges, like climate change, environmental degradation, and social inequality, has placed sustainable investing at the forefront of policy, finance, and empirical discourse. Green finance, a group of financial instruments and tools that includes green loans, green bonds, carbon credits, and renewable energy equity financing, pools funds for investments in environmentally sustainable projects. The relevance of green bonds in addressing pressing global environmental challenges has gained significant attention from governments, regulators, and policymakers. New research offers insights into the growing importance of public and private entities in utilizing green finance to develop and transition to sustainable practices, like investing in renewable energy sources. Challenges in sustainable development goals remain, such as the lack of standardized green definitions and the lack of alignment of financial frameworks with sustainable priorities. Green Capital and Investments for Sustainable Growth explores the intersection between green finance and sustainable development goals. It offers multidisciplinary insights into green finance initiatives to support inclusive and sustainable development. This book covers topics such as green business, human capital, and entrepreneurship, and is a useful resource for business owners, finance professionals, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
