Reihe: Routledge Advances in Climate Change Research

This book presents specific case studies of climate finance in the Arctic and examines how the green revolution could be a game changer in this sensitive region.

Bringing together contributions from a range of experts in the field, Climate Change Adaptation and Green Finance assesses the costs of inaction versus the costs of action based on case study examples of climate finance and sustainable investment in the Arctic region. The authors draw on data from the Sixth Assessment Report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and respond with a solutions-based framework. This is developed around the notion of a new, carbon-neutral economy in the Arctic and presents methods for unlocking carbon finance and long-term climate investment in the region, such as finance for Arctic entrepreneurs and resilient sustainable investment structures. This volume also looks at the role of finance in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the ways in which innovation in investment will help shape the future of the Arctic.

Climate Change Adaptation and Green Finance will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, sustainable finance, and sustainable business.
