However, there are a number of arguments against this view. Environmental finance, particularly energy efficiency and renewable energy (EERE) finance, can and should serve as an interface to other sub-sectors of financial sector promotion such as microfinance, housing finance or agricultural finance. For example, existing clients of financial institutions include small and medium-sized enterprises and households, and these are often suffering from high energy prices or have no access to sustainable energy supply. At the same time, these clients are vulnerable to extreme weather events, and often hit hardest by the impact of climate change. There are many other examples which show that the financial sector has an enormous potential to support ?green? investments. In order to tap this potential on a sustainable basis, it is important to have a sound understanding which role financial institutions can and should play. Likewise, financial institutions need to understand the demand side of environmental finance markets and the framework conditions in order to be able to design adequate financial products. This book provides a blend of well-founded professional and scientific perspectives on the potential of Environmental finance in developing and transition countries.     All institutions and the clients they serve will be affected by the changing climate. In this new reality, green finance will not be a luxury, but a way of meeting clients' needs effectively and doing sound business. This book challenges, guides, inspires, and, at times, cautions us, in navigating this new normal. Alexia Latortue, CGAP Deputy CEO "The finance and investment community can play a leading role in determining a positive, inclusive future development path. They can achieve this by better understanding the ethical and ESG dimensions of the market while, importantly, appreciating the need to build the investment business case around the ideas, entrepreneurs, technologies and companies that will define the future.  What is changing rapidly amongst an influential group of the most senior banking executives, however, is the understanding that good ESG (environmental, social and governance) practice often helps deliver sustainable results for the institution."    Paul Clemens-Hunt, UNEP FI Paul Clemens-Hunt, UNEP FI. 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aFinance 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aFinance, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/600000 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 610 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics 610 $aFinance, general 610 $aEnvironmental Economics 610 $aDevelopment Finance 610 $aEnergy Efficiency 610 $aEnvironmental Finance 610 $aGreen Energy Finance 610 $aRenewable Energy 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 14$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aFinance, general. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 676 $a332.1 700 $aKöhn$b Doris$4auth$0801746 702 $aKöhn$b Doris$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996208499103316 996 $aGreening the Financial Sector$93358294 997 $aUNISA
