Since the appearance of COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020, the
pandemic has undeniably wreaked havoc on global trade, profoundly
affecting people's lives and having a significant impact on
economic growth worldwide. Many people regard COVID-19 as 'the fury
of nature.' However, there are still ongoing critical problems
facing the world that have not cooled down even in the context of
the pandemic, one of which is climate change. The recent unusual
and extreme weather conditions have thrust climate change into the
media limelight and to the forefront of the public agenda.
Nowadays, climate change is receiving special attention from many
organizations, countries and governments worldwide because of its
profound influence on the global economy and people's lives.
Natural disasters and prolonged drought can destroy infrastructure;
threaten crops, food production, as well as people's lives; and
lead to mass migration. The effects of climate change are evident
everywhere globally and appear to be more severe than ever
before.Handbook of Environmental and Green Finance contains
conceptual, empirical, and policy papers, using quantitative and
qualitative methods alike, that provide an insightful and timely
read for researchers, investors, and policymakers interested in
sustainable finance, development finance, and alternative finance
to combat climate change. Throughout this book, readers are offered
a global analysis of the current state of the sustainable finance
sector and provided with potential solutions to addressing
obstacles in this field.
Green finance plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable
development by mobilizing financial resources towards
environmentally sustainable projects. It enables the transition to
a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, which is essential for
achieving global climate goals. Green Finance and Sustainable
Development Goals explores how, by aligning financial investments
with sustainable development objectives, green finance can
contribute to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).The first part of the book examines the
connection between climate change and green finance in emerging
markets and developing countries, with a particular focus on the
impact of globalization and financial development on climate
change. The second part of the book focuses on environmental
disclosure, standards, and their relevance, with a specific focus
on how European countries have implemented green finance to support
sustainable development and achieve their climate goals. In the
third and final part of the book, the authors discuss green finance
and sustainable development goals from a global perspective. They
examine the role of finance and renewable energy transition in
supporting sustainable economic development, and how this can be
applied to green recovery in the post-COVID-19 era.The book
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the
relationship between green finance and sustainable development
goals, and offers insights and potential solutions for researchers,
investors, and policymakers. It also includes real-life case
studies, empirical analyses, and policy recommendations from
scholars around the world, making it a valuable resource for anyone
interested in understanding and addressing the challenges of
climate change and sustainable finance in the aftermath of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
