Green Investment and Circular Finance: Pioneering Financial Strategies for a Sustainable Future

Creator

Sharma, Amisha Sharma

Description

Circular finance is transforming global investment by integrating financial decisionmaking with sustainability, beyond the conventional linear models of exploitation and waste. This chapter discusses how financial products green bonds, impact investing, ESG funds, and sustainability- linked loans-are propelling the transition toward regenerative economic systems. It emphasizes the contributions of financial institutions in supporting circular economy practices through innovative lending, risk management, and sustainable investment funds. Technologies such as blockchain, AI, and big data increase transparency. Nonetheless, obstacles such as short- term profit orientation, regulatory loopholes, and missing standardized metrics stifle progress. Realizing circular finance's full potential will depend on policymakers, investors, and companies working together to integrate circular principles into financial systems and create a more resilient, sustainable economy. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
