Dynamics of green finance in the Russian Federation

Against the backdrop of the growing importance of sustainable development and environmental protection issues, the urgent need to increase the share of “green” investments in the financing of investment projects is substantiated. The study proposes to pay special attention to the formation of a solid regulatory framework in the field of green finance. The proposal includes the development of a strategy and concept for the development of green financing, as well as a law that would establish an effective mechanism for the implementation of green financing, taking into account the peculiarities of Russian reality. This mechanism should make private investment more attractive for financing projects and contribute to the creation of a set of measures, including ways to reduce the financial burden on the federal budget and the budgets of the Russian Federation constituent entities. We come to the conclusion that Russia should take into account global experience and practices in the field of green financing, as well as stimulate the introduction of concession agreements and public-private partnerships. The introduction of “green” financing will contribute to the preservation of natural resources and their further increase, which will allow the creation of innovative products, promote the development of scientific and technological progress, and also preserve the health of the nation, since products made in “green” financing projects are environmentally friendly
