Sustainable Finance Market Trends
摘要
The sustainable finance market often referred to as green finance, is a financial ecosystem which integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decision making choices. The fundamental aim of green finance is to channel funds into endeavors and enterprises which advance sustainable development, combat climate change, protect natural resources thereby making a positive contribution to society. Financial instruments such as green bonds and sustainable debt instruments are designed to support eco-friendly initiatives such as renewable energy initiatives, sustainable infrastructure projects and other conservation initiatives. These instruments have facilitated the adoption of projects with environmental benefits. A major trend observed is the integration of ESG factors into investment strategies by investors and financial institutions.
