Its main goals were to develop national-level programs for energy conservation and the eradication of greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve such goals, certain policy measures including reduction in deforestation, urban population and promotion of renewable energy consumption were adopted. This study aims to examine the consequences of these policies on the environmental quality of G-7 from 1988 to 2018. LLC and IPS unit root tests were applied to check the stationarity of analyzed variables. The results of Pedroni and Kao's co-integration tests proved the long-run relationship between the dependent and explanatory variables. The application of multiple cross-sectional dependence tests revealed that the cross-sections are independent of each other. The findings of the panel Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model exhibited that urbanization, economic growth and nonrenewable energy consumption are hampering the environmental quality. While renewable energy consumption and globalization are improving it in the long term. Urbanization, renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption significantly improve the environmental quality during the short term whereas globalization insignificantly deteriorates the environment. The study confirms the presence of reversed U environmental Kuznets curve between urbanization and carbon emissions with a turning point at 80 per cent of urbanization. The study suggests that the transformation of energy consumption from nonrenewable to renewable sources and strict compliance with environment management policies will prove prolific for improving the environmental quality of G-7.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70252034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unrestricted trivariate VAR-BEKK-GARCH model is employed to examine potential causality,mean,and volatility spillover effects from the green bond market to the renewable energy stock market and vice-versa. The results from the VAR-BEKK-GARCH model indicate that there exists a uni-directional Granger causality from renewable energy stock prices to green bond prices. While the price of green bonds is positively influenced by its own lagged values and the lagged values of renewable energy stock prices,only the past price value of renewable energy stocks has a positive effect on the current price value. We identified a uni-directional volatility spillover from renewable energy stock prices to green bond prices. However,there was no shock spillover from both sides of the market. This research shows that investors in the green bond market should always consider information from the renewable energy stock market because of the causal link between renewable energy stocks and green bonds.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70252172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Green finance is the most practical way of economic development and ecological development. To tackle the urgent challenges of climate change, several summits and conferences have adopted a sustainable development framework for their action plans. The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a unique collection of seventeen time-bound goals that strive to balance the three sustainability objectives of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This research has been carried out to assess the present status of green finance in India and see its impact on startups. A green startup's success probability and importance are explained with specific case studies. By extracting the data from various published reports, it has been found that government initiatives are turning green by providing green finance, and Indian startups are exploiting this opportunity by the implementation of sustainable entrepreneurship. India has been on a path toward green project finance for some years now, and significant adjustments have been made to the country's financial sector to embrace ecologically friendly methods. Businesses are the economy's engine, and adopting sustainable business practices is critical for reaching carbon neutrality.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70252101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, difficulties of sustainability such as climate change and disruption have become more severe. Multi-stakeholders are crucially important to resolve difficulties posed to sustainability in global communities. Sustainable communities are expected to be constructed through competitive and cooperative schemes of multi-stakeholders. Sustainable global communities must reform centralized economies with top down systems and must move toward decentralized mechanisms known as bottom-up societies. Sustainable investment strategies to support environment, society and governance (ESG) presumably improve social welfare. The main findings presented herein are summarized as explained hereinafter. First, this article describes that multi-stakeholders can introduce a decentralized incentive scheme into global economies and can provide mathematical expressions of sustainable investment strategies. Secondly, the decentralized formulation described herein is used to evaluate the improvement of ESG initiatives by the decrease of social welfare losses. The formulation states mathematically relative relations among the investment strategies. Thirdly, this mathematical model explores the social welfare effects of initiatives to enhance standards, regulations, and legislations. Empirically, one finds that integration strategies have grown remarkably as a core part of social institutional reform for sustainability. Finally, initiatives to improve social evaluation by individuals who are excluded from market transaction are demonstrated to decrease social welfare losses greatly. These findings can promote initiatives to alleviate the disruption difficulties faced by communities.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70252183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Ukraine's strategic regional planning and financing with the aim of achieving its sustainable development goals remain insufficiently analysed. This paper examines the compliance of Ukraine's regional development strategies against the declared sustainable development concept and goals to determine the amount of funding invested in the measures aimed at \"greening\" these regions' economies and to compare these investments with the declared measures in accordance with the sustainable development concept. To achieve these objectives, we analysed 24 regional strategies and one city's strategy (Kyiv) with respect to strategic and operational goals relating to sustainable development constituents and the achievement of sustainable development goals. To assess Ukraine's commitment to regional public policy in relation to the sustainable development concept, we analysed the revenues and expenditures of the regional budgets for 2018–2020 and defined the amount of investment in the field of environmental protection and ecology. Comparison of these indicators reveals the formal and subject-matter compliance of regional development strategies with the sustainable development concept as well as real financial support for the environmental development of Ukraine's regions. The main findings allowed us to define Ukraine's commitment to its regional public policy regarding sustainable development and the declarativeness of some regions' statements regarding their commitment to sustainable development, to determine which regions are most relevant to sustainable development strategies and expenditures within the regional budget and to develop recommendations for further research.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70251922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a few studies have investigated and organized existing information in the context of the green finance of banks in developing countries. The purpose of our study is to find major dimensions of green finance and research gaps from a thorough evaluation of the literature. As a result, existing research on green finance in the banking industry has been evaluated in this paper with a focus on green finance and sustainable development. This study employs the content analysis method and it analyzes and summarizes a total of 53 relevant previous studies in the field of green finance. The findings of this research reveal 21 crucial dimensions of green finance in Bangladesh. The primary green finance products of Bangladeshi banks include green securities, green investments, climate finance, green insurance, green credit, green bonds and green infrastructure. The other factors include environmental performance and green economic growth, energy efficiency, green finance policy and environmental protection and the risk impact of bank policy formulation. The findings of this study will help policymakers to understand the green finance concept and its associated variables, which need to be considered when adopting and implementing green finance.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70252254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By giving preference to climate-friendly borrowers and green assets in their financing and investment decisions, banks have a huge leverage over economic actors and financial market participants, and thus can help the transition to a greener economy. At the same time, banks must assess and manage the physical and transition risks that emanate from climate change and impact their clients via various transmission channels, thereby affecting the banks themselves. This risk dimension is the focus of this paper. Based on the euro area perspective it answers from a mainly practical perspective the question whether voluntary action by banks is sufficient, or whether additional regulatory requirements and respective supervisory scrutiny are necessary to cope with climate and environmental risks. Furthermore, the paper assesses whether such regulatory requirements should generally be of a qualitative, or also of a quantitative nature, and also the likelihood that regulators will going forward amend the rulebook to allow supervisors to impose direct capital requirements on banks for climate-related risks.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70251730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is no unified conclusion on whether the relationship between the two is linear or non-linear, and environmental regulation is always examined from single angles. Therefore, according to the difference of environmental regulation implementation subjects, this paper divides environmental regulation into formal regulation and informal regulation. Based on the panel data from 281 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011–2019, the non-linear effects of heterogeneous environmental regulations on green energy technology innovation are analyzed using the panel threshold model, and the non-linear relationship between the two under the difference in urban economic development level is further considered. The research came to the following conclusions. (1) The non-linear relationship between formal and informal regulations and green energy technology innovation is significant; that is, different environmental regulation intensities have different impact coefficients on green energy technology innovation. (2) At present, formal environmental regulation has a significant inhibitory effect on green energy technology innovation, while informal environmental regulation has a significant promoting effect. (3) The level of economic development plays a significant positive moderating role in the relationship between formal and informal environmental regulations and green energy technology innovation; that is, it weakens the inhibitory effect of environmental regulation on green energy technology innovation and strengthens the promoting role of environmental regulation at the same time. This study provides a reference for further clarifying the relationship between heterogeneous environmental regulations and green energy technology innovation.","PeriodicalId":41466,"journal":{"name":"Green Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70251873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
