Sustainable finance is a comprehensive and concise exploration of this rapidly evolving field, delving into its origins, policy focus, and practitioner dimension. Despite the ongoing investment and subsidies provided to fossil fuel companies worldwide, the book offers a compelling vision for reversing these incentives through the power of finance. It outlines how we can harness financial resources to address the pressing climate and ecological crises.
The world of finance is undergoing a significant transition, moving beyond ethical investment and towards a future where all financial institutions will be required to disclose the climate impact of their investments. This marks the initial step towards comprehensive ESG reporting (Environmental, Social, and Governance), which will encompass not only financial but also non-financial aspects. The urgency of these legal changes is underscored by the fact that financial reporting relies on information provided by companies that receive investment. Consequently, this development has far-reaching implications for all large companies, as they will be compelled to adopt sustainable practices and report on their environmental and social impact.
The book also delves into the related realm of climate finance, highlighting the crucial role of central and public banks in funding the transition to sustainability. It explores how we can ensure accountability for countries that bear the brunt of the impact from those with the largest responsibility for historical emissions. By providing a comprehensive understanding of sustainable finance, this book empowers individuals working in these fields to stay abreast of the latest developments and enhance their knowledge and skills.
The authors of this book bring a unique blend of practical experience as an MEP and academic expertise as the first professor of green economics. Their combined insights provide a valuable perspective, offering practical insights and theoretical frameworks to navigate the complex landscape of sustainable finance. This book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, investors, business leaders, and anyone interested in contributing to the global effort towards a sustainable future.
