Green investiment

Abstract

.

Green investment refers to allocating capital to projects, assets, or activities that promote environmental protection while also generating financial returns. It involves governments, companies, and individuals seeking to reduce pollution, carbon emissions, and resource depletion, while supporting renewable energy and sustainable practices. Emerging strongly after the 2008 financial crisis and global climate agreements, green investment is part of broader sustainable finance and ESG frameworks. Beyond environmental benefits, it may deliver competitive risk-adjusted returns and help manage climate-related risks. Instruments such as green bonds, equities, and ETFs play a key role in financing the transition to a low-carbon economy and achieving sustainable development goals.
