  abstract: The Role of Green and Transition Finance in Achieving Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Energy offers a thorough yet accessible exploration of a vital, often overlooked aspect of the energy transition. Authored by leading experts, this book is organized into three sections: fundamentals of green and transition finance, their role in achieving carbon neutrality and ESG goals, and the policies that drive the energy transition. Readers will gain insights into financial instruments and mechanisms influencing global financial markets and the energy sector, focusing on ESG factors. This book covers strategies that support sustainable, green, and net-zero innovations and includes diverse tools, case studies, and global perspectives to help readers design policies, model outcomes, and track progress. From foundational theory to complex, country-level case studies, this book is an essential guide for students, policymakers, and researchers in energy and financial markets. Written in clear, policy-oriented language, it suits readers from diverse backgrounds.
