The transformation towards a sustainable future requires a financial system that is aligned with sustainable development. As crucial factors in the financial system, businesses and policymakers are increasingly integrating environmental and social (E&S) sustainability considerations into their decisions on finance and investment as well as financial policies. Sustainable finance practice has been not only a trend but also becoming the new norm for businesses because the search for profit has been more affected by limited resources and climate change. This academic-based but practice-oriented course enables students and professionals to build a solid understanding of the nexus between finance and sustainability, covers diverse aspects of sustainable investment and provides tools to assess risk and financial performance when environmental and social factors are integrated.
