The book explores the synergy between green growth strategy and green finance policy (2G) and carbon neutrality in an economic-environmental-financial framework that helps readers understand how to design a feasible path toward achieving carbon neutrality through economic initiatives and financial innovations. It shows how to apply the notion of green growth to organizations and illustrates the need for a theory of energy economics that estimates the benefits of a low-carbon transition and carbon neutrality.
Sections include historical background, relevant literature necessary to understand topics, the notions of green finance, green growth and carbon neutrality from an economic perspective. Other sections cover models and methods of carbon neutrality assessment, the nexus between carbon neutrality and economic development, green growth and financial development, green finance and green energy exploration and consumption, and more. Two chapters specifically focused on UN SDGs 7 and 13 round out the book, and it concludes with a final section that gathers and integrates the concepts discussed throughout the book.
- Uses green finance and green growth to develop a framework for achieving a carbon neutral society
- Brings together current knowledge in this field of research, then goes further to explain relevant concepts and the theoretical and empirical relationship between carbon neutrality, green growth and green finance
- Includes two chapters dedicated to a discussion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 13 which underpin this book
Researchers of environmental and energy policy, impact assessment of socio-economic liberalization, and policy design for sustainable development at research institutes, academic institutions or universities, or government or semi-government agencies
