Abstract

Green Banking adoption has gained momentum in the past few decades in both the developed and developing economies. The green movement in the banking sector has been triggered due to its potentially adverse role in global natural environmental degradation and natural resource depletion. A number of banking operations have the potential to harm the natural environment, both directly and indirectly. Due to this, many countries have started working on greening their banking sectors. Pakistan is among the top countries threatened by climate change, environmental degradation and resource depletion. The country is currently at the initial stages of Green Banking adoption. This case study follows the Green Banking adoption journey of Pakistan’s banking industry in light of the obstacles faced, milestones achieved and the learning outcomes for the other developing countries struggling from environmental degradation. This case study can serve as a learning tool for the regulatory authorities and other concerned stakeholders of developing economies in need of Green Banking adoption.
