India is on the path to Viksit Bharat, aiming for a developed, resilient, and climateconscious future. Green finance plays a crucial role in this journey by directing investments into sustainable projects that balance economic growth with environmental responsibility. As climate change and environmental challenges grow, integrating sustainability into financial systems is both a moral and strategic necessity. Green finance includes financial instruments, policies, and strategies that support clean energy, sustainable agriculture, climate-resilient infrastructure, and eco-friendly industries. Tools like green bonds, climate funds, and ESG investments can drive sustainable development while mitigating risks. India's pledge to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 and meet its NDCs under the Paris Agreement highlights the urgency of transitioning to a green economy. This requires a collaborative effort from the government, financial institutions, corporate sector, and civil society to establish a strong green finance ecosystem supporting renewable energy, climate-smart urban planning, and sustainable industrialization. This document provides insights into the role of green finance in building Viksit Bharat, covering policies, financial mechanisms, global best practices, and strategies for a low-carbon, resource-efficient future. Green finance is more than an investment tool it is a commitment to future generations. By aligning economic progress with ecological integrity, India can lead in sustainable development and climate action. This work serves as a guide for financial institutions, businesses, and individuals dedicated to a greener, more prosperous India.
