Green finance is a phenomenon that combines the world of finance and business with environmentally friendly behavior.It is a stage for many participants, including individual and business consumers, producers investors,and financial lenders.Green finance can be expressed differently depending on the participants' financial incentives(动机) , desires to preserve the planet, or a combination of both.In addition to showing environmentally friendly behavior,such as promoting mass transit or the recycling of used goods, green finance is about preventing the promotion of any business or activity that could do damage to the environment now or future generations.
Financial institutions that extend lending to individuals, small businesses,or large corporations can do so in an environmentally friendly manner.In this type of green finance,loans are used for the proliferation(扩散) of renewable energy, for instance.A lender could finance the development of a solar power plant that generates power from the sun and panels installed on the roof of a building or residence.Wind power generation is another of business that would get support from green financiers.These com panes develop expensive wind farms that use large turbines onshore and of shore to capture the wind and generate energy.
Energy producers, who use fossil flues,including coal, are not likely to participate in any type of green finance.Coal is a traditional power source that release emissions into the air,substances that are largely considered harmful to the environment. As a result,a coal producer is the type of company that a green financer would likely avoid.
Offering environmental incentives to market participants is a useful way to drive the development of green businesses. Small businesses that are not even in the business of clean energy can participate because this is an extremely proactive(主动的)form of green financing. For instance, a company that sells vehicles may focus on selling cars that are designed to use a hybrid fuel combining both fossil fuels and renewable energy. This business might offer customers an incentive to purchase a car, for example, and in exchange for every vehicle that is sold, the dealer will purchase and plant a tree to promote a clean environment.
Venture capital its(风险投资者) , or firms that extend financing to start up companies for growth, participate in green finance in an active way. Many firms are behind emerging technologies clean energy that are expected to produce a greater portion of the world's power in the future.Venture capitalists specialize in risky and emerging technologies and as a result, tend to have a hand in green financing.

To empower students to succeed and make a difference in the 21st century, educator,business leaders, and recent college graduates agree that students have to be better prepared through a liberal, well rounded education and the ability to apply their skills and knowledge to hands-on, real-world learning experiences.College learning for the New Global Century, a recent report released by the National Leadership Council for Liberal Education and America's Proms e(LEAP) , covered specific areas in which institutions can help students prepare for the transition into the workforce.
87 percent interviewed agree that America's colleges and universities need to raise the quality of student achievement to ensure the United States remains competitive.“There is a need to connect what businesses, corporations, and employers want and what colleges offer to meet real-world challenges.”explain Cruncher.“We have to stop channeling students into a narrow field.We need to teach them to think critically, write well, and be a team player with global awareness in order to be a viable(surviving independently) contributor to the business or nonprofit sectors.”
In a previous report, the council began to address the types of skills graduates need to have.The outcomes:besides having a main focus or line of education, they would a so have to think critically and write well.On the negative side, they found there was a basic disconnection about
the type of education students needed to pull this off.“It was a pleasant for members on the board that many of us were on the same page.It became the basis for his current report.”
The College Learning report show show val y important a liberal education is, says Humphreys.“We can focus on what business leaders want and argue for a broader-vision education.To produce responsible citizens in a complex society with global emphasis, we must teach important skills that are marketable.Employers want students to talk about the experiences that brought their education to life.”Business executives place the greatest emphasis on what they look for when evaluating the skills of potential new hires, and 69 percent of employers said combining broad knowledge with more in-depth focus is“very important.” Employers were somewhat c once med about recent college graduates not having necessary specific job or technical skills but agree that“he technical can be taught.“They expressed the greatest frustration with the challenges of finding“360-degree people.”Crutcher agrees.“That's what it means to be flexible.The mind has to be quick, or you will be left behind.”
So what more do employers really want from recent college graduates?“They want students who can function in groups, work in teams, write critically,have analytical reasoning,and communicate effectively,”says Humphreys.“Keep in mind the most important thing-the world is changing-becoming more global and more connected because of technology, and we have to change with it.Emphasize undergraduate research.Less memorizing.Put into action what you're learning.Both business leaders and recent graduates say engaged learning is key to continued success in the workforce.”
Employers appear to support the recommendations.Both employers and recent graduates stress the need for colleges to integrate skills and knowledge of a major to broader areas of study and to apply both to real-world settings and situations through community service, internships, and study-abroad experiences, for example.
They strongly endorse the concept of a liberal education and producing good citizens.It also helps if students develop a sense of social responsibly through practical skills that span all areas of study, such as communications.
A strong work ethic(道德准则) and sense of loyalty promises greater dividends(回报) for the employer and possible greater success for the individual.This type of graduate is a good investment for an employer and can have along-range impact not only on self-growth but on business development and the community at large.
