Abstract

The existing global financing system is firmly undergoing transformation as a result of climate change impacts and the need for sustainable development. The concepts of sustainable finance, ESG frameworks, climate financing tools, and green investing take the central stage in this process, while India is viewed as an interesting example for study due to its distinctive rapid development and susceptibility to climate changes. The purpose of this research is to investigate the position of India in the framework of global sustainable finance mechanisms. The research method is based on the data acquired from GSIA, CPI, IFC, and RBI and includes the study of ESG implementation and adoption, green bond issuance, and climate financing flows in India. The research employs the trend analysis and comparative approach to investigate the process of transformation in India.
