Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change and environmental deterioration pose a severe threat to the existence of human society. Finance plays a crucial role in changing this situation and this fact incorporates risk. Since the turn of the previous century, the globe has confronted major environmental concerns, such as environmental degradation due to human activity coupled with energy consumption that creates dangerous emissions. This situation has made policymakers and academics concerned enough to advocate for measures to eliminate or minimize carbon from the environment by reengineering activities responsible for CO2 emissions and engaging in eco-friendly practices. The Paris Climate Change Agreement (COP26) has played a pivotal role in mitigating the effects of climate change and kicking off a low-carbon global economy. The overall focus of this Special Issue is to provide an update analysis, from theoretical and empirical points of view, to improve and achieve sustainable development through the appropriate way in which to finance projects in order to reach the Sustainable Development Goals.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Finance, climate change, and sustainability.
- Risk and climate change.
- How sustainable finance can help to reach sustainable development.
- Effects of the adequate use of finance on the Sustainable Development Goals.
- CSR, finance, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
