Paulson Institute to support growth of green finance market

The Paulson Institute's green finance center will support China's development of a robust green finance market with market-based solutions.

The center, led by Deborah Lehr, vice-chairman of the Chicago-based think tank and research institution, marks a major step in the institute's efforts to promote sustainable economic growth and environmental protection in China and the United States, it said.

"The development of green finance is a top priority for China and one that aligns with the Paulson Institute's mission," said Paulson Institute Chairman Henry M. Paulson, Jr on Tuesday during a news conference in Beijing.
