This thesis explores the critical role of international institutions in promoting and accelerating green finance
across global financial systems. As the world faces growing environmental challenges and climate risks, green finance
has emerged as a key instrument for funding sustainable development and achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement
and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, many countries—particularly developing economies—
lack the institutional capacity, regulatory frameworks, and market mechanisms necessary to scale up green finance
independently.
The study analyzes the multifaceted contributions of global institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary
Fund, Green Climate Fund, United Nations agencies, and regional development banks. It outlines how these institutions
mobilize financial resources, mitigate investment risks, establish green standards and taxonomies, provide technical
assistance, and facilitate global dialogue and coordination. Special attention is given to their role in capacity building,
policy innovation, and fostering cross-border cooperation.
