So what is green finance? Green finance refers to financial activities and investments that support the transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon economy. It involves the deployment of financial capital towards environmentally friendly and socially responsible projects, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, waste management and clean transportation. The goal of green finance is to promote sustainable economic growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating climate change and protecting the environment.
The course begins with an introduction to what green financing is, including its definition and examples of green finance products. It explores the history of green financing, tracing its evolution from the first green bond in 2007 to the present day. The benefits of green financing will be covered in depth, including its positive impact on the environment, society and the economy.
