Abstract

Green finance is an emerging and rapidly growing field of research, concerned with the financial implications of environmental protection for industries and firms, and the need to transition to a sustainable economy. The financial industry needs to adjust to these environmental changes, which offer many opportunities for wealth and growth. The growing attention to environmental issues is strictly connected to the growth of financial flows oriented to attaining environmental goals. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the topic of green finance. For this purpose, the chapter summarizes the state of the art of this newly formed interdisciplinary field by setting out definitional boundaries and a conceptual framework, including the instruments, markets, and actors in this field. The market ecosystem is analyzed based on the results of the literature review. Specifically, a segmentation of the market is derived and recent regulation is focused upon. Moreover, the chapter describes asset classes, including the green finance spans and typologies of the financial instruments employed.
