“Building a fundamental understanding of green finance should commence in high

school education, specifically through the Economics and Law Education subject. At the

university level, it should be seamlessly incorporated into various modules within the
Business-Economics domain, with specializations in Economics, Development

Economics, and Finance-Banking.”

The majority of educators advocate for the integration of green finance into existing
courses and emphasize the need to include green finance in the national educational

curriculum framework. This might involve designing specific subjects, courses, or

training programs dedicated to green finance and sustainable development:

“First, it is necessary to incorporate green finance into the national-level educational
curriculum framework. Second, green finance content should be seamlessly integrated

into existing subjects such as economics, management, finance, accounting, or

environmental studies. Trainers and teachers can introduce the concept of green finance,

provide examples of green projects and technologies, and discuss the impact of financial

decisions on the environment and society.”

Furthermore, some interviewees suggest that, in addition to integration into existing

courses, green finance education could be offered as a separate module for students

majoring in economics or finance and banking:

“It could be included as content in modules such as Development Economics,

Development Finance or a module on Financial Investment. There could also be a

specialized module dedicated to green finance and green financial tools for students

majoring in Economics or banking and finance.”

Apart from curriculum development or integration into existing courses, some educators

recommend organizing specialized workshops or seminars to disseminate knowledge

and share experiences in promoting green finance at both micro and macro levels:

“In my opinion, green finance and green financial tools should be introduced through
workshops or specialized topics, integrating them with relevant financial subjects.”
