Abstract
Political instability often poses significant challenges to sustainable investment, impacting the trajectory of green finance initiatives within a nation. This study explores the repercussions of political instability on sustainable investment within the context of Pakistan's economic landscape. Leveraging empirical evidence, the research seeks to illuminate the intricate relationship between political stability and sustainable investment, a critical aspect for fostering long-term economic growth and development. Utilizing a comprehensive analytical framework, the study delves into various dimensions of political instability, including government stability, policy consistency, and institutional effectiveness. Through empirical analysis, the study aims to provide nuanced insights into how political instability influences sustainable investment patterns in Pakistan, shedding light on both the challenges and opportunities faced by investors in navigating the country's economic environment. The findings of this research contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between political factors and sustainable investment, offering valuable implications for policymakers, investors, and stakeholders involved in Pakistan's economic development.
