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. 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.
