Making the Financial System Sustainable Summary

Making the Financial System Sustainable by Paul G. Fisher (University of Cambridge)

The EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth is the most advanced and comprehensive policy agenda on sustainability in the world. But is it going in the right direction? Acting as a bridge between policy and academia, this up-to-date contribution to the global policy debate brings together some of the leading experts from the European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance, to discuss how the financial system needs to be reformed to promote sustainability. Finance has long been criticized for being short-term focused and concerned with maximizing returns to intermediaries, rather than with the interests of savers and borrowers. The financial system must now take into account environmental, social and governance considerations to support a sustainable economy and this volume offers new insights on the way forward. A must-read for anyone working on financial sector policy and sustainability.

'Practical. Candid. Timely. A must-read for finance practitioners who have heard the calls to action and are seeking the practical ways forward for finance to respond to the climate science.' Rhian-Mari Thomas, Green Finance Institute
