The transition to a sustainable global economy has significantly increased the importance of green investments, particularly in sectors such as renewable energy and environmental infrastructure. However, these investments face complex legal risks arising from regulatory changes, political uncertainty, and evolving environmental standards. This article examines the main models of international legal frameworks for safeguarding green investments, including bilateral investment treaties (BITs), multilateral agreements, and emerging ESG-oriented regulatory mechanisms. It explores how environmental clauses, investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), and sustainability provisions are reshaping international investment law. The paper argues that modern legal frameworks are gradually shifting toward a balanced model that integrates investment protection with environmental and public policy objectives.
