To achieve society's goals, as set out in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, the finance sector has a crucial role to play in driving sustainable business and 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 activities looking to create a more sustainable world. Green and Sustainable Finance offers a comprehensive guide to green and sustainable principles and practice in banking, investment and insurance to help finance professionals manage sustainability risks and support their clients and customers in transition. Given the need for urgent, rapid and sustained change, it is essential that all finance professionals understand and apply these principles so that every professional financial decision takes account of sustainability.
Written by the CEO of the Chartered Banker Institute this fully updated second edition includes the most recent assessments of climate science from the IPCC, extended coverage of sustainability reporting and carbon accounting, and regulatory and market developments in sustainability risk management. It also features material on the rapid growth of sustainable lending and investment and the latest finance sector alliances and initiatives. Endorsed by the Chartered Banker Institute as the core text for the global benchmark Certificate in Green and Sustainable Finance, this book is essential reading for finance professionals, university students and individuals working to embed sustainability in business, finance, policy and regulation.

The text is case rich, international in approach, and contains many reflective exercises to enable and provoke contemplation of the major decisions confronting finance and financial institutions now and during the coming time of climate change."
"As green and sustainable finance increasingly becomes the norm, the ability to integrate climate considerations into financial decision-making is also becoming a critical skill for all financial professionals. Simon Thompson's updated and comprehensive textbook explains the latest concepts, trends, risk frameworks, regulations and investment tools that all bankers and investors need to keep pace with this rapid transformation of the financial sector."
"Provides key contextual knowledge by clearly and concisely situating green and sustainable finance in reference to key sectors - from banking, insurance, bonds, equity funds, regulation et al - thus making this an essential read for all financial services practitioners and policy setters."
"The rapidly evolving nature of climate science, policies, regulations, reporting standards and initiatives make it difficult for professionals to keep up-to-date. This second edition is an invaluable compendium of information about green and sustainable finance. An essential book to bridge the skill gap in this space and help us to effectively respond to the climate crisis."
