In the pursuit of unravelling the complexities of green finance, &#8220;The Routledge Handbook of Green Finance,&#8221; edited by Othmar M Lehner, Theresia Harrer, Hanna Silvola and Olaf Weber, brings together a diverse group of scholars and industry specialists. This authoritative compilation provides a comprehensive exploration of green finance, examining its defining characteristics, fundamental principles, and operational mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within this vast landscape, the intricacies of green finance in China unfold, shaped by a myriad of government and private actors influencing its implementation. Chapter 16, titled &#8220;Green Finance in China: System, practice, and international role,&#8221; delves into the evolution of China&#8217;s green finance system. The chapter explores how Chinese stakeholders leverage various green finance tools, including green bonds and credit, and evaluates China&#8217;s global role in shaping green finance standards. Additionally, it evaluates China&#8217;s engagement in green finance practices abroad, with a specific focus on initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While China boasts one of the world&#8217;s most extensive applications of green finance, a paradox emerges\u2014the &#8220;Panda-Dragon paradox.&#8221; Despite its leadership in green finance, China remains a significant supporter of coal investments. This paradox raises questions about the alignment of China&#8217;s domestic and international green finance efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The handbook, drawing from the expertise of Griffith Asia Institute Director Christoph Nedopil Wang and Mathias Lund Larsen, positions itself as an indispensable reference. Tailored for a diverse audience, including scholars, researchers, students, professionals, regulators, and policymakers, this handbook offers valuable insights into a rapidly evolving and increasingly relevant field. As we navigate the challenges of sustainability, understanding China&#8217;s role in green finance becomes pivotal for fostering a greener and more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article summarises a book chapter written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.griffith.edu.au\/asia-institute\/\">Griffith Asia Institute<\/a> Director, Christoph Nedopil Wang and Mathias Lund Larsen, 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/chapters\/edit\/10.4324\/9781003345497-20\/green-finance-china-christoph-nedopil-mathias-larsen\">\u2018Green Finance in China: System, practice, and international role\u2019<\/a> in Othmar M Lehner, Theresia Harrer, Hanna Silvola, Olaf Weber (eds) The Routledge Handbook of Green Finance, Taylor and Francis, London.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHRISTOPH NEDOPIL WANG&nbsp;AND MATHIAS LUND LARSON&nbsp; |&nbsp; The concept of green finance stands as a beacon for steering businesses towards sustainable and environmentally responsible practices through incentivised financial investments.
