Green finance is not a niche; it is the backbone of resilient and competitive economies. It is not simply about mobilising money for environmental projects; it is about restructuring capital flows so that every investment, whether in infrastructure, industry, transport, or agriculture, contributes to sustainability rather than undermines it. Green finance is about creating an economic system where profit and progress are aligned with the health of our ecosystems and the well-being of our people: Mr @byadavbjp, Hon’ble Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India at #FICCILEADS. @moefcc @FICCILEADS @jvij1967

Green financing is one of the best examples of collaborative growth in a transformative world. Governments, businesses, and all stakeholders must adopt a collective approach to move forward in a world shaped by geopolitical shifts and rapid technological advancements: Mr @byadavbjp, Hon’ble Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, at #FICCILEADS. @moefcc @FICCILEADS @jvij1967
