Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book explores the financial and regulatory dimensions shaping the electrification of society, an essential step towards global sustainable development. It critically examines the interplay between traditional financial metrics and the pressing need for substantial investments in green infrastructure, a requirement for achieving the ambitious targets set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The book addresses the central question of how to mobilize the financial sector and raise the necessary capital to finance the large initial costs associated with long-term investments in environmental sustainability and economic resilience. It explores how the government can encourage investments into a green energy transition and offers a look at both financial and social returns provided by sustainable energy investments into, e.g. energy-autonomous building or community projects or automated electric vehicle refueling stations.

With an assembly of scholarly contributions from diverse regions of the world, integrating a multitude of perspectives on the challenges and opportunities inherent in the electrification process, this book is of interest to sustainable finance scholars, practitioners, and regulators.
