Abstract: Abstract Various roadmaps and strategies have been proposed to promote environmental protection in the last few decades; however, this process has not been appropriate. Private investments in green energy projects are hampered by insufficient capital to finance projects, the high risk of investment, low rates of return, and the lack of capacity in the market actors. This chapter seeks to identify the difficulties in addressing the insufficient investment flows in green projects and offer workable strategies for attracting private capital to these endeavors. Establishing a novel instrument for green credit guarantee schemes to lower the risk of investment, adopting an international or regional carbon taxation scheme, increasing transparency in green regulations, establishing community-based trust funds, and enhancing the role of public financial and nonbanking financial institutions (pension funds and insurance firms) in long-term green investments are practical solutions.
