As nations continue to work towards a sustainable future, the finance
sector has a crucial role to play in driving sustainable business and
managing the transition to a net zero economy.
To achieve this change, it is vital for the finance sector to allocate
capital to the firms, investments and projects looking to create a low
carbon world. Green and Sustainable Finance offers a comprehensive
guide to the application of common green and sustainable principles and
practices in banking, investment and insurance to manage risks and seize
opportunities in the transition to net zero. As climate change becomes
an ever more pressing issue, it is essential that finance professionals
grasp these principles to combat the threat of climate change and
maximize the opportunities of a low-carbon future.
Written by the CEO of the Chartered Banker Institute, this fully updated
second edition includes much greater coverage of the reporting of
environmental impacts and carbon accounting, regulatory and market
developments in climate and environmental risk management, the rapid
growth of sustainable investment, and the latest finance sector alliance
and initiatives, including the COP26 Private Finance Strategy and
Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). Endorsed by the CBI as
the core text for the benchmark Certificate in Green and Sustainable
Finance, this book is essential reading for finance professionals and
students taking modules on Green and Sustainable Finance, and
individuals working to embed sustainability in business, policy and
regulation.
