This book compiles and explains technical terms in sustainable finance in an easy-to-navigate A-Z format.

The interdisciplinary nature of sustainable finance means that those researching and working in the field often have to turn to a variety of different sources to look up various non-financial terms. Recognizing this issue, Ibrahim Sancak and Elisa Aracil have curated a comprehensive list of the key terms most commonly used in the field. Each entry maps out an important concept or idea and illustrates how it relates more broadly across this growing discipline, such as the changes and innovations required by the financial sector to meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Overall, Essential Concepts of Sustainable Finance will enable readers to communicate more effectively about finance within the context of sustainability.

With related terms and further reading included alongside the entries, this innovative and accessible volume will be of great interest to students, scholars, and practitioners alike.

Reviews for Essential Concepts of Sustainable Finance: An A-Z Guide

“Finance is crucial to sustainable development since transitioning toward a clean and just economy requires massive funding. Besides, increasing investors’ appetite for ESG assets underlies the fast-growing sustainable investment market. These trends underlie a proliferation of sustainability standards, ratings, scores, regulations, frameworks, and associations. This book provides a useful guide for non-ESG experts so that they understand the role of finance in achieving sustainable development.” Professor Doctor Timo Busch, Chair of Management and Sustainability, University of Hamburg “A valuable dimension of this book is its capacity to connect financial terms with non-financial ones. This book clarifies the sustainable finance notions to individual and institutional investors, financiers, managers, and the general public so that they can make informed decisions: business organizations need to embrace increasing sustainability standards, which requires a fundamental knowledge of sustainability; investors will benefit from clarifying adjacent concepts in sustainable investing, and students can improve their learning curve on the ever-growing sustainable finance arena. The value of this book is unquestionable as it facilitates understanding the building blocks of sustainable finance in the business world for years to come. Transformation starts with learning; learning begins with understanding fundamental concepts and this book is an excellent kickstart.” Carlos Serrano, Climate Finance Advisory Services Lead, LAC Financial Sector, International Finance Corporation (IFC, World Bank Group) Essential Concepts of Sustainability Finance provides an excellent guide to terms underlying climate change and its implications for finance. This is a very comprehensive and timely resource particularly in view of the recent proliferation of concepts and initiatives surrounding climate science and finance. Concepts ranging from biodiversity and sustainability science to green mortgage and transition finance are covered and nicely categorized using visual icons. A must-read for anyone with an interest in climate and sustainability issues. Professor Gulcin Ozkan, King's Business School, King's College London, Bush House, 30 Aldwych London WC2B 4BG, UK
