Climate Finance and Carbon Markets

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Tackling climate change requires financing green initiatives—renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, low-carbon transport. Instruments like green bonds, carbon credits, or emission trading systems create market-based mechanisms to reduce emissions. In India, policy questions revolve around integrating carbon pricing with industrial growth, ensuring environmental justice, and leveraging global climate funds. Exams often explore how carbon markets align with national commitments under the Paris Agreement and the synergy with domestic development strategies.
