Research background: As an outcome of a global consensus on combating climate change, green finance is expected to play an important role in promoting green growth and innovation progress. Some studies note that green credit policy yields a negative influence on green innovation, while how green finance affects renewable energy innovation has received scant attention in academia. This study focuses on the impact of green finance on renewable energy innovation. Purpose of the article: This research investigates the influence of green finance on an economy's renewable energy innovation by using green bond data from the Climate Bonds Initiative. This research further tests whether it varies for different kinds of energy types and economic development levels. Given that policies are key to renewable energy technology development, this research checks whether government stability changes the relationship between green finance and renewable energy innovation. Methods: Using the panel fixed effects model and big-scale data from 64 economies worldwide during the period 2014-2019, we investigate green finance's impact on renewable energy innovation. In the robustness test, the dynamic panel model and the panel Tobit model are employed. Findings & value added: This research finds that green finance has a positive effect on renewable energy innovation. This effect is prominent in non-OECD economies as well as middle-income and low-income economies. Government stability enhances the influence of green finance on renewable energy innovation. Moreover, the results indicate that green finance mainly promotes innovation progress for wind energy and produces little effect for other renewable energies. The subsample analysis also sheds light on the heterogeneity of the role of green finance in promoting renewable energy innovation.

The struggle against climate change and the increasing implementation of sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards have contributed to the dynamic development of green finance. Green bonds have become one of the key tools of green finance. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive study related to the development and barriers of the green bonds market in Poland. A literature review, comparative analysis, and financial data were used in this research. The publication uses data from the Climate Bonds Initiative and includes global data on the development of the green bond market. The research was also enhanced by data from the Polish Ministry of Finance. Green bonds are an increasingly popular financing tool for renewable energy, zero-emission transport, or green buildings. The biggest advantages of green bonds are compliance with ESG standards, hedging of climate risk, and reputational benefits. Disadvantages include significant transaction costs, lack of uniform standardisation, or the risk of greenwashing – particularly when issuing sustainability-linked bonds. The development of green bonds in Poland faces barriers related to the lack of green projects. The development of municipal green bonds in Poland is clearly hampered by high transaction costs and the lack of clear economic benefits for issuers. Green bonds are not an instrument to finance all environmental investments, hence their implementation is limited; however, they are playing an increasingly important role in the transition towards sustainability.

The article reviews potential channels of impact of climate change on monetary policy and central bank operations. The issue of climate change is increasingly becoming the focus of central banks. The article begins with the discussion on the consistency of central banks’ mandates and a potential role of central banks in climate policy. The second section concentrates on risks climate change poses to the effectiveness of central bank action and operations. Then it reviews options for the central bank to engage in the fight against climate change. Finally, the determinants of this engagement are presented. The author argues that some intellectual progress has been made in central banks in terms of adjusting their operating framework, but many gaps still exist and much more analytical work is needed.

Zielona transformacja tworzy zmiany nie tylko dla realnej gospodarki, ale także dla szeroko rozumianych finansów, tworząc zarówno ryzyko, jak i szanse. Ma to fundamentalne znaczenie dla przedsiębiorstw i instytucji finansowych, które muszą się dostosować do nowych warunków funkcjonowania. Ryzyko powstaje w obszarach podlegających presji regulacyjnej i rynkowej, wymuszając zmiany strategii rynkowej lub metod produkcji. Regulacje również mogą stwarzać szanse, m.in. dla rozwoju czystych technologii, w szczególności wspierających ograniczenie emisji gazów cieplarnianych, rozwój odnawialnych źródeł energii, rewolucję cyfrową na rynku energii czy wprowadzenie nowych elementów na rynek finansowy. Uwzględnienie tych tendencji jest niezbędne dla powodzenia gospodarek. Niedocenianie postępujących zmian klimatu i intensywna działalność człowieka sprawiły, że ochrona klimatu i konieczność transformacji gospodarki stały się priorytetem. W związku z tym wdrożenie zielonej transformacji wymaga odpowiednich środków na finansowanie zielonych projektów. Biorąc pod uwagę powyższe tendencje w światowej gospodarce, autorzy przedstawiają instrumenty finansowe dostępne dla wspierania zielonej transformacji, uwzględniając praktyczne zagadnienia kształtujące przyszłość rynku energii elektrycznej. W związku z tym przedstawiają instrumenty finansowe wykorzystywane do transformacji energetycznej i walki ze zmianami klimatycznymi. Autorzy zwracają uwagę na znaczenie zielonych finansów, które jako element systemu finansowego przejmują odpowiedzialność za zapewnienie kapitału i narzędzi zarówno do finansowania celów klimatycznych, jak i efektywnego zarządzania ryzykiem przez podmioty zaangażowane w ten proces.

Green transition creates change not only for the real economy, but also for widely perceived finance, exposing them both to risks and opportunities. This is of fundamental significance for enterprises and financial institutions, which need to adapt. Risk increases in areas subjected to regulatory and market pressure, forcing changes in market strategies or production methods. Regulations may present opportunities as well, and those may include clean technologies, in particular technologies aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the development of renewable energy sources, a digital revolution on the energy market, and introducing new elements into the financial market. Taking these trends into account is essential to economic success. Underestimating the progressing climate change, and the intensive human activity, has made climate protection and the need to transform the economy a priority. Consequently, the implementation of green transition requires appropriate funds for the financing of green projects. Considering the above trends in the global economy, the authors strive to present the financial instruments available for supporting the development of green transition, taking into consideration, in particular, the power market. Hence, they discuss the financial instruments used for energy transition and the fight against climate change. The authors point to the importance of green finance, which as an element of the financial system, takes over the responsibility for providing the funds and tools both for financing climate goals, and for effective risk management by the entities involved in this process.
