Sustainable finance involves making investment decisions that consider not only financial returns, but also environmental, social, and governance factors. Additionally, the role and contribution of sustainable finance mechanisms in the transition to a resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable economy are critical for sustainable development. As a rapidly developing research area where theory and practice intersect, sustainable finance deserves detailed examination from different perspectives. This book addresses current developments in the field, conveying the relevant theories in connection with their practical application.

It considers the sustainable finance ecosystem from a broad and integrated viewpoint and presents a comprehensive and cohesive roadmap. It analyzes current issues and evolving theories including, but not limited to, the EU Green Deal, Green taxonomy, impact investing, Environmental Social Governance investing and the carbon and energy markets, offering a cross-disciplinary perspective of the challenges and impact of these concepts. The book tackles key concerns such as the issues with implementing and impacting the efficiency of sustainable finance, greenwashing and related terminology, sustainability rating and the risk context and, Environment Social Governance risk as well as the global regulatory challenge. Further, it highlights the importance of sustainable finance instruments for channeling capital to address climate change and support the Sustainable Development Goals. Analysing and mapping the Sustainable Development Goals against each topic under discussion provides a structure that supports the book's originality.
