Understand green finance, carbon markets and sustainable investment.
Green Finance and Carbon Markets provides a rigorous grounding in the financial machinery of the climate transition. You learn the instruments of green finance — green bonds, sustainable investment and ESG frameworks — and how capital is being redirected toward low-carbon activity. The course covers carbon markets in depth: how carbon is priced, how compliance and voluntary markets and carbon credits work, and the integrity questions they raise. Connecting finance to climate outcomes, it equips you to understand and engage with a fast-growing field. You finish able to reason about green-finance and carbon-market mechanisms.
