Abstract: Although the role of the public sector in developing green financing has been analyzed, there is a gap in the literature regarding the specific funtions of subnational (or regional) governments to facilitate financing of clean technologies and sustainability projects. This research aims to contribute to the academic literature on the specific channels and mechanisms through which a regional government can facilitate green financing. To answer this question, this paper studies the role of the public sector at various administration levels (supranational, national and subnational) in facilitating the financing of sustainable investments to delineate best practices. It develops a framework to assess strategies to foster green finance, with a focus on the regional level, and applies it to the specific case of the Basque Country.
