Dr. Fatima Al-Zahra, Dr. Henrik Johansson
This systematic review synthesizes 124 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024 examining the effectiveness of green finance instruments in mobilizing renewable energy investment. Our meta-analysis finds that green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and blended finance mechanisms collectively increase renewable energy investment by 23-38% relative to conventional financing.
