About this book
This edited collection brings together leading theoretical and applied research with the intent to design a sustainable global financial future. The contributors argue that our world cannot move toward sustainability, address climate change, reverse environmental degradation, and improve human well-being without aligning the financial system with sustainable development goals like those outlined by the United Nations. Such a system would:
- be environmentally and socially responsible;
- align with planetary boundaries;
- manage natural resources sustainably;
- avoid doing more harm than good; and
- be resilient and adaptable to changing conditions.
