Group 1: Global Green Transition - The global green transition is an urgent requirement as the world faces developmental bottlenecks, with a predicted annual climate financing demand of $9 trillion by 2030 [3]. - Emerging markets and developing countries, which are expected to account for 80% of future energy demand growth, receive less than 15% of global green capital inflows, indicating a significant imbalance in capital distribution [3][4]. Group 2: Structural Challenges - There are three main structural challenges hindering the flow of green capital to developing countries: rating monopolies distorting risk pricing, inconsistent standards creating "regulatory barriers," and a severe lack of adaptable financial tools [4]. Group 3: Proposed Solutions - Establish a mutually recognized standard system to eliminate "regulatory barriers" for cross-border capital flow, promoting unified financial language through multilateral recognition of green finance standards [4]. - Innovate risk mitigation mechanisms to activate commercial capital's "liquidity potential," utilizing financial tools that balance risk and return, such as mixed financing and carbon-linked loans [4]. - Deepen South-South cooperation and enhance "Belt and Road" green financing to broaden practical channels for capital flow, including building international cooperation on green financial infrastructure [4].
