Contents Foreword Iam delighted to welcome you to the ninth edition of the Global Green Finance Index. In midst ofunprecedented global events, the efforts being taken by financial institutions across the world tosupport the UN Sustainable Development Goals is a key area of development, and the index is animportant tool to assess the collective progress made by financial centres. Here in Busan, we are focused on becoming a green smart city. Thanks to the government’sdesignation of Busan as a regulation-free zone, we are leading the charge in researching anddeveloping ammonia fuel as a cleaner alternative to marine fuels. We are also experimenting with theEco Delta Smart City, collecting data from participating households on their usage of smart homesystems and sustainable energy (primarily solar and hydropower) to inform future smart cities. These efforts are in line with central government policies such as the Korean Green New Deal, anational transformation strategy to move towards a net-zero society. Of relevance to port cities likeBusan, Korea plans to promote Emission Control Areas (ECA) under the 1stComprehensive Plan for PortAir Quality, which aims to reduce air pollutants by reducing ship-driven air pollutants, establishing eco-friendly ports, and creating safe living conditions. In addition, the Green Ship-K Promotion Strategyaims to develop emission-free technology to reduce GHG emissions by up to 70% by 2030, andconverting 15% of Korea-flagged ships into greener ships. Public financial enterprises and private financial firms headquartered in Busan including Korea HousingFinance Corporation, Korea Ocean Business Corporation, and BNK Busan Bank are also workingtowards ESG initiatives, such as the issuance of ESG bonds. I am very pleased that Busan’s progress has been recognised in GGFI 9 as we rise six places to the 22ndposition in the world. We will continue to develop and enhance our green finance opportunities as weaddress the challenges faced by Asia and the world.
