Shifting the economy from fossil fuels to clean sources of energy requires a vast reallocation of capital. Asia is especially crucial in the battle against climate change and whether the climate can ever be stabilised depends largely on Asia—most prominently on China. Green finance is central to China’s green transition plans. Though relatively young, China has been rapidly advancing its green financial system and markets. China’s green bonds market is now the second-largest in the world. And China’s green finance policies promote investment in a wide range of assets, including renewable energy projects, water treatment plants, recycling facilities, and more.
