This handbook deals with various financial instruments, policies,
and strategies in a policy-oriented approach for financing green
energy projects. Recently, global investment in renewables and
energy efficiency has declined, and there is a risk that it will
slow further, Clearly, fossil fuels still dominate energy
investments. This trend could threaten the expansion of green
energy needed to meet energy security, climate, and clean-air
goals. Several developed and developing economies are still
following pro-coal energy policies. The extra CO2 generated from
new coal-fired power plants could more than eliminate any
reductions in emissions made by other nations. Finance is the
engine of development of infrastructural projects, including energy
projects. By providing several thematic and country chapters, this
handbook explains that if we plan to achieve sustainable
development goals, we need to create opportunities for new green
projects and scale up the financing of investments that furnish
environmental benefits. New financial instruments and policies such
as green bonds, green banks, carbon market instruments, fiscal
policy, green central banking, fintech, and community-based green
funds are among the chief components that make up green finance.
