Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we examine how emerging markets can mobilise capital to support both green and circular economy transitions. We explore the role of financial instruments (e.g., green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, carbon markets) and institutions (e.g., development banks, regulators, regional platforms). Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, we apply institutional theory to assess how regulative mandates, normative expectations, and mimetic adoption shape sustainable investment ecosystems. We identify key barriers (e.g., fragmented governance, low institutional capacity, and weak project pipelines) while outlining potential reforms that involve fintech, regional cooperation, and capacity-building initiatives.
