Asma Khan: Breaking the Wall of Symbolic Green Financing

Asma Khan, Lincoln University

I am breaking the wall of green finance failure by exposing how self-interests and greenwashing raise monitoring costs and weaken true environmental outcomes. My research demonstrates how various ecological regulations and governance structures can mitigate these inefficiencies, helping policymakers create credible green finance systems that support genuine sustainability rather than allowing firms to exploit green funding for false claims
