Abstract

The objective of the research was to recognize the position and influence of green financing practices on sustainable development in Ireland, in particular by assessing green bonds, renewable energy financing, and green loans. These criteria were used to understand how each of these green financing mechanisms leads to sustainable development results. The quantitative research methodology was utilized with a deductive approach, and the data were obtained using a structured survey that was administered to the professionals in finance, renewable energy, and sustainability sectors in the country of Ireland, to 103 participants in total. Data were examined through a descriptive statistics test, reliability test, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis with the help of SPSS software. It was found that the three green financing practices and promotions had a huge positive influence on the sustainable development, and the most notable influence was on green loans, then renewable energy financing, and lastly, green bonds. On the basis of such findings, the research proposed the strengthening of governmental incentives, the increased awareness of the financial institutions, the diversification of green financing tools, regulatory frameworks, and the communication between the parliament and the corporate bodies to each other. The researchers concluded that green financing is a critical element of sustainable development in Ireland, and multi-faceted efforts and policy interventions are necessary to make it the most effective by bringing the stakeholders on board.
