商品描述

This book focuses on the frontier issues in climate finance and aims to develop a general framework to understand the financial pathways towards a successful energy transition. It builds upon the general descriptions of the current status and future challenges towards carbon neutral targets, and then bring forward a combination of theoretical and empirical analysis on the critical issues related to climate finance.

Estimated by the International Energy Agency (IEA), trillions dollars of investment in energy sector are needed to achieve net-zero emission scenario. It provides a huge opportunity for our economies, meanwhile creates considerable challenges to the existing system. Both financing and investment in such an unprecedented scale cannot possibly be satisfied by the current financial architecture, which creates demands for restructuring in the financial sector, developing innovative financial instruments, building mechanisms to attract private investment, and establishing human resources to facilitate climate financing and investment. This area is essentially interdisciplinary, which requires a fundamental reconsideration of standard approaches.

Aiming to satisfy the broad interests from both academia and policymakers, the contents of this book range from general discussions on critical issues to advanced statistical analyses on key topics. Authors hope to bring forward a general picture about climate finance and facilitate the demands for both academic research and policymaking. It should also provide a good guidance for graduate students interested in this subject. The main contents of this book are based on solid research outcomes but with clear policy relevance. The book combines finance theory and practices in both financial markets and energy sectors to reflect the complex nature of financing for energy transition. While the materials can provide useful knowledge to policymakers, the book can also inspire new research ideas in the relevant area.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書專注於氣候金融的前沿議題,旨在發展一個通用框架,以理解成功能源轉型的金融途徑。它基於對當前狀況和未來挑戰的概述,針對碳中和目標,並提出關於氣候金融的關鍵問題的理論與實證分析的結合。

根據國際能源署(IEA)的估算,實現淨零排放情景需要在能源領域投入數兆美元的資金。這為我們的經濟提供了巨大的機會,同時也對現有系統帶來了相當大的挑戰。在如此前所未有的規模下,融資和投資無法僅依賴當前的金融架構,這就需要對金融部門進行重組,開發創新的金融工具,建立吸引私人投資的機制,以及建立人力資源以促進氣候融資和投資。這一領域本質上是跨學科的,要求對標準方法進行根本性的重新考量。

本書旨在滿足學術界和政策制定者的廣泛興趣,內容涵蓋從關鍵問題的一般討論到關鍵主題的高級統計分析。作者希望能夠呈現氣候金融的全貌,並促進學術研究和政策制定的需求。它也應該為對此主題感興趣的研究生提供良好的指導。本書的主要內容基於堅實的研究成果,但具有明確的政策相關性。該書結合了金融理論和金融市場及能源領域的實踐,以反映能源轉型融資的複雜性。雖然這些材料可以為政策制定者提供有用的知識,但本書也能激發相關領域的新研究思路。
