Green Finance Approaches to Soil Remediation

The project aims to support the implementation of China’s priorities and its policy development process through institutional partnerships; mutual learning and exchange; strengthening of capacity, especially in government institutions; and the effective demonstration of results on the ground in the implementation of China’s environmental priorities. [...] The overall objective of the project is to harness the full range of green finance approaches and vehicles in the task of funding and managing the associated risks in the remediation of contaminated soils in China. [...] In each case, we look at the background of the remediation program or project, including the level of development in the region or the nation at the time, and the type of land the remediation projects focus on. [...] The NEA contributed to the financing of the project through disbursements of the remediation in 2009 with NOK 2.38 million. [...] The examples provide an insight into the background to the projects or programs, including the level of development in the particular country/region and the type of land.
