This book aims to fill the literature gap on digital instruments
and FinTech in enhancing green finance. ​Technological
innovation can increase transparency, accountability, and speed,
decentralize the financial system, improve risk management,
increase competition, lower costs, improve efficiency, increase
cross-sectoral collaboration and integration, and scale up green
finance. Artificial intelligence (AI), distributed ledger
technologies (DLT) or blockchain, peer-to-peer lending platforms,
big data,  Internet-based and mobile-based payment
platforms, Internet of Things (IoT), matchmaking platforms
including crowdlending, tokenizing green assets are potential means
to scale up the green finance for achieving the SDGs. Â The
COVID-19 pandemic, the economic downturns, and the uncertainties
shrank the new investments in renewable energy projects globally.
Low investment in renewable energy projects could threaten the
expansion of green energy needed to provide energy security and
meet SDG7 and SDG13. Investments in renewable energy projects are
scarce because of several risks and a low rate of return. Although
several new green financing solutions such as green bonds, green
banks, green credit guarantee, carbon taxation, carbon trade,
village funds, and community trust funds have been established in
different countries, these are insufficient, and alternative ways
to finance projects are required. The book provides several
high-quality studies on utilizing digitalization, FinTech,
financial innovations, and other new technologies to fill the
finance gap of green projects to meet the SDG goals. The chapters
are written by scholars in diverse countries and regions and
include practical policy recommendations.
