Public spending and green finance: A systematic literature review

The public sector is being urged to actively participate in sustainability challenges more than ever before. In response, we present a systematic literature review on sustainable finance in European public administrations, particularly environmental aspects. This paper provides a systematic literature review on sustainable finance in European public administrations. It analyzes 82 papers published between 1992 and 2022, identifying areas of investigation such as sustainable development planning, sustainability accounting, measurement tools, and public-private partnerships. Further research is needed in green finance, particularly in financing methods.
