There is no unique definition among investors of what green investing entails. However, for the purpose of this paper, „green‟ investments refer broadly to low carbon and climate resilient investments made in companies, projects and financial instruments that operate primarily in the renewable energy, clean technology, environmental technology or sustainability related markets as well as those investments that are climate change specific.
