Abstract:
There has been a renewed vigour for governments across the world to drive public investments towards a path of economic recovery that is sustainable and tackles the looming effects of climate change. Research shows that public investments have a large potential for financing green initiatives and provide incentives across the value chain. In countries like India and other developing countries, public investment has proven to be successful in encouraging sustainable development and conservation of resources, as well as increasing the use of green technologies and renewable energy. However, there are limitations to the extent that public financing can achieve the sustainable goals that are required for lasting social, economic, and environmental impact. This paper examines the benefits of public investment and adopts a critical approach to examine the pitfalls that currently exist within the system of green financing. This paper further explores opportunities for multi sectoral collaboration, and advocates for the creation of a holistic investment environment. The paper poses policy recommendations for future research in the field, emphasizing the need for better data collection, creation of targeted budgets, and capacity building to improve efficiencies.
