Abstract: Green investment has become one of the defining economic strategies of the 21st century. As climate change accelerates and global economies transition toward low-carbon systems, investments in renewable energy, green infrastructure, clean technologies, and environmental resilience increasingly shape national and global economic trajectories. This research article examines how green investment affects long-term GDP growth through the channels of innovation, productivity enhancement, job creation, structural transformation, capital deepening, and climate resilience. The article synthesizes cross-country empirical evidence, economic theories, and contemporary global trends from 2020–2025. It concludes that green investment is not only a climate necessity but a potent economic growth engine—particularly when supported by effective policy, strong institutions, and sustainable financing mechanisms.
