Recent Developments in Green Finance, Green Growth and Carbon Neutrality explains the role of green finance in transforming the global economy into a green and carbon neutral one. 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.

This book provides a comprehensive examination of various approaches to sustainable waste management, addressing solid waste management, smart waste solutions, policy formulation, and the global impact of waste management policies. By taking a holistic view, it aims to offer practical insights and solutions to the pressing environmental challenges we face today. Central to the discussion is the concept of waste reduction and the transition towards a circular economy model. Through innovative techniques such as Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) technology, digital water economy initiatives, and e-waste recycling, the book explores avenues for minimizing waste and promoting resource conservation. It advocates for policy restructuring, investment in circular technologies, and the incentivization of sustainable practices as crucial steps toward achieving meaningful progress in waste reduction efforts. Sustainable waste management includes the nexus between green innovation and waste prevention. By identifying both internal and external factors influencing the adoption of green innovation, the book sheds light on the challenges hindering progress, such as corporate inaction and ineffective government policies. It underscores the importance of fostering an environment conducive to innovation and outlines strategies for overcoming barriers to the widespread adoption of green technologies.
