Abstract

In modern conditions, climate change is recognized as one of the most acute and high-priority global problems that require urgent solutions. In this regard, in most countries of the world, special attention is paid to the implementation of a set of measures aimed at countering climate threats. Among such measures, an important place is occupied by the green transformation of energy systems, as well as the development and implementation of decarbonization strategies. The transition to a climate-neutral model of development of energy systems and energy networks necessitates the search for and attraction of non-traditional sources of investment, primarily in the form of sustainable financing. This approach is a key mechanism for stimulating the activities of critical energy infrastructure facilities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing adaptive capacity to the consequences of climate change. Based on this, the relevance of the problem, which has both a scientific and methodological and practical dimension, determined the purpose of this article – to study the impact of the sustainable financing mechanism on the efficiency of energy infrastructure development. To achieve this goal, methods of statistical, bibliometric and trend analysis, as well as structural and logical generalization, were used. Their application made it possible to assess the dynamics of publication activity on the selected topic; determine the main areas of scientific research; identify key trends and existing gaps in this area. The results obtained form a comprehensive picture of the current state and prospects for the development of research in the field of sustainable financing of energy infrastructure. This creates a basis for the development of state programs, policies, and national strategies for the green transformation of energy systems in any country in the world, taking into account the characteristics of its economic development. In addition, such developments will contribute to the formation of an effective mechanism for sustainable financing of energy infrastructure as a tool for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
