Environmental finance has gradually gained popular support globally since the mid-2000s. Its momentum continues, as shown by the\u00a0growing issuance of green bonds in recent years. People see it as a way to achieve the dual goal of environmental sustainability and financial sector contribution to the global climate change challenges. Environmental finance or green finance can potentially ensure a better environmental outcome by promoting green projects or minimizing the negative impacts on the environment and is aligned with the delivering efforts of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, there are concerns about a <\/span>deceitful marketing approach in green finance dubbed \u201cgreenwashing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Guest Speakers Seminar, in collaboration with Yonsei University\u2019s <\/span>Graduate School of Environmental Finance<\/span>, focuses on the potential pitfalls of green finance to purify and maximize the gains from such finance.<\/span>\u00a0The speakers from Korea will discuss the performance of green finance and then set the agenda by asking, “<\/span>How can we d<\/span>etect greenwashing?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
