Green Finance in Korea and the Global Context

KEI will host a program addressing green finance in Korea and the broader global context. The program will explain the importance of a green economy spurred by effective green finance, and will explore the requisite financial architecture. The seminar will tackle the current status and future direction of green finance in Korea, focusing in particular on bank loans, credit guarantees, and capital markets, as well as securitization as an effective green finance mechanism. The program will present the current status of efforts aimed at “greening” the transportation sector in Korea, and the necessary financing. The program will also address the current context of green finance in the United States, and International Finance Corporation (IFC) projects in sustainable energy market development, involving both renewable energy and energy efficiency.
