This seminar will present original research on the role of Green Credit Lines (GCLs) in supporting the Gulf Cooperation Council’s transition toward a low-carbon economy, with a special focus on Qatar. Drawing on the newly developed GCL Implementation Potential Index (GCLIPI) and GCL Potential Impact Indicator (GCLPII), the session will provide a comparative analysis of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and pathways to maximize the role of green finance.
