“Public-Private Partnerships and Green Financing of Infrastructure Projects”

As one of the main engines of socio-economic development, infrastructure needs additional funding increasingly to meet the growing needs of the population, as well as to meet the new challenges of our time - environmental pollution, poverty, inequality, overpopulation, climate change, reduced natural resources and biodiversity.Recognition of problems at the global level, whose solution depends on the achievement of the UN sustainable development goals, necessitates the development and implementation of new approaches to structuring project initiatives for the construction and further operation of infrastructure facilities, taking into account not only the economic efficiency of their implementation, but also their socio-ecological aspects.In that sense, the focus of the study is on the development of sustainable and high-quality infrastructure that is less exposed to climate risks, is aimed at improving people's lives and is more effective in terms of return on investment. It analyzes the formation of a market for green financing instruments, and the possibilities and feasibility of using public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms for the implementation of environmentally-oriented infrastructure projects in Russia and abroad
