The key objective of the study is to identify opportunities and challenges of green investment in Bangladesh by—(i) reviewing existing support measures (including incentives) and policies for making investment in green projects, (ii) identifying opportunities and implementation challenges for investing in green projects, and (iii) making an estimate of the green investment required for electricity generation from renewable energy sources. In the policy discourse, it is hoped that the findings of the study will narrow the knowledge gap and contribute towards holistic measures by the government for leveraging green investment through the private sector’s (including the financial sector) engagement. The study findings are also expected to support development partners including the European Union in taking focused and strategic decisions on ‘green growth’ in Bangladesh.
