He highlighted how financial institutions and businesses are increasingly integrating sustainability into their core strategies to meet regulatory requirements, attract responsible investors, and build long-term resilience.
Students gained practical insights into the tools and frameworks used in green finance.

He shared real-world case studies from Nepal and the region, including successful green bond issuances, renewable energy financing, sustainable agriculture projects, and climate adaptation initiatives.

Mr. Ojha addressed the country’s vulnerability to climate change, the potential for green investments in hydropower, clean energy, sustainable tourism, and circular economy models. He also discussed barriers such as limited awareness, high perceived risks, regulatory gaps, and the need for capacity building among financial institutions and businesses. Students learned how green finance can support Nepal’s transition to a low-carbon economy while generating employment and fostering innovation.
Mr. Ojha encouraged students to view sustainability not as a cost but as a strategic business advantage. He emphasized the role of future managers and leaders in driving the green transition through responsible investment decisions, innovative financing solutions, and cross-sector collaboration.
