This book provides an in-depth exploration of the critical role of finance in the transition to a carbon-neutral world. The book uncovers the powerful ways in which finance can drive environmental change, providing a comprehensive guide to sustainable investment strategies, green bonds, and the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into decision-making. In an era of heightened climate risks, it explores the financial innovations—such as fintech, blockchain, and artificial intelligence—that are transforming the green economy and enabling companies and investors to navigate the complexities of sustainability. This book takes a deep dive into the policy frameworks and global initiatives that shape sustainable finance. It examines mechanisms like carbon pricing, emissions trading systems, and international agreements such as the Paris Agreement, which collectively play a central role in facilitating the green transition. Industry-specific strategies are also highlighted, with particular emphasis on the financial tools supporting renewable energy, sustainable manufacturing, and low-carbon transportation. Additionally, the book addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging markets, spotlighting innovative financing solutions such as blended finance, microfinance, and public–private partnerships. Corporate sustainability is a major focus, with discussions on how businesses are increasingly adopting ESG principles, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and transparent sustainability reporting to enhance long-term value. The book also explores the financial risks embedded in the zero-carbon economy, such as climate-related risks, stranded assets, and regulatory uncertainties, helping businesses and financial institutions prepare for a rapidly evolving landscape. By integrating theory with practical insights and real-world case studies, the book provides readers with a clear understanding of the financial mechanisms that are reshaping industries and markets in line with sustainability goals. Whether discussing green bonds or the latest fintech innovations, it connects financial practices with environmental outcomes, offering a roadmap for aligning investments with global sustainability efforts.
