Financing the green transition: Increasing bankability, phasing out carbon investments and funding ‘never bankable’ activities
[tra:ce] Policy Report
How can political decision-makers strengthen sustainable and climate-friendly investments - and at the same time effectively prevent climate-damaging financial flows? The latest [tra:ce] Policy Report takes a closer look at this question.
The authors - researchers from the BMFTR research project “Climate Change and Global Finance at the Crossroads” - analyze financial policy instruments that pave the way to the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target, from increasing the bankability of green activities to promoting economically unbankable but socially necessary activities to measures to end carbon-intensive investments.
