Improving energy efficiency through new investments requires focused and aggressive policies that support green innovation through more stringent energy efficiency regulations, fiscal incentives for new technologies, investment incentives for the private sector and pricing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since 2015, global improvements in energy intensity, a key measure of the economy’s energy efficiency, have been declining. In the fourth paper, Ngo et al. analyze the impact of green finance (i.e. green investment, green security and green credit) along with capital formation and government educational expenditures on the economic development of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries. In the fifth paper, Tran examines the relationship between green finance, economic growth, renewable energy consumption and CO2 emission in Vietnam using multivariate time series analysis.
