In her Introductory Remarks to the session on ‘Financing Sustainable Development’, Dr Vibha Dhawan asserted, “Green budgeting is a tool involving budgetary planning designed to systematically map and track the sources of funds, outlays, expenditures and policies. Areas such as climate adaptation, sustainable consumption and production, biodiversity preservation and pollution abatement need much more attention.”
