China’s Sustainable Investment in Africa Under the State-Centric CSR Approach: Green Finance as a Case Study
摘要
Green finance requires lenders to integrate environmental and social factors into decisions, ensure transparency, and enable accountability. While green finance allows institutions to manage risks and support a low-carbon transition, its application in China-Africa cooperation faces challenges. This chapter examines the state-centric development of China’s green finance in Africa. It analyzes the motivations, evolution, and characteristics of this cooperation. The study investigates how state-driven policies shape China’s green finance initiatives toward Africa and explores the challenges and limitations of this approach.
