Diplomski rad istražuje potencijale financiranja projekata obnovljive energije putem društveno odgovornih financijskih ulaganja. Fokus se pritom stavlja na tzv. ''zelena ulaganja'', oblik ekološki motiviranih društveno odgovornih ulaganja, koja se odnose na financiranje razvoja energetske održivosti i obnovljivih izvora energije. Cilj rada jest istražiti mogućnost korištenja takvog načina financiranja projekata obnovljive energije u Republici Hrvatskoj. Provedeno je anketno istraživanje na 238 ispitanika koje je ukazalo na postojanje interesa ispitanih građana za društveno odgovornim ulaganjima i ulaganjima u projekte obnovljive energije, no zaključuje se kako razvoj takve vrste ulaganja u Hrvatskoj ovisi prvenstveno o ekonomskom oporavku i regulatornoj podršci nacionalnih vlasti.

Thesis explores the potential of financing renewable energy projects through socially responsible investments. The focus is thereby placed on the so-called. '' green investment '', a form of environmentally motivated socially responsible investments, used for financing of the development of sustainable energy and renewable energy sources. The aim of this paper is to explore the possibility of using this method of financing of renewable energy projects in the Republic of Croatia. Survey was conducted on 238 respondents, which indicated the existence of interest among Croatian citizens for socially responsible investments and investments in renewable energy projects, but paper concludes that the development of this kind of investment in Croatia depends primarily on the economic recovery and regulatory support of national authorities.
