New White Paper: Financing the Green Transition
The aim of this white paper is to share some of Denmark’s – and Danish financial institutions’ – examples on how to finance smaller or larger projects within climate adaption, energy, energy efficiency, environment and water.
Financing the green transition will be one of the big global challenges in the coming decades and we hope that this white paper will be an inspiration to help new projects to get underway.
To address this challenge, we have gathered a selection of examples from a number of projects from all around the world where Danish investors and financial institutions have been instrumental in securing projects being realised.
“Some investment may derive from public funds, but large-scale private sector involvement is key to creating new growth and jobs based on green technologies and infrastructure. This is indeed a challenge in all countries. (…) This white paper describes how Danish pension funds and Danish government institutions have introduced new and innovative solutions to secure the financing required for a green transition. I hope that the examples presented in this report will serve as an inspiration to you,” says Danish Minister for Business and Growth Troels Lund Poulsen in the foreword of the white paper.
