After the global financial crisis, the attention on sustainability in financial markets has grown among financial regulators, researchers, and investors worldwide. As a consequence, sustainable finance became one of the most important topics in the business industry, which rapidly recognized its importance to achieve long-term value creation for firms and stakeholders.

The present program aims to investigate the role that financial system can play in addressing economic systems towards a higher degree of climate (and not only climate) sustainability. Using theoretical model, case studies and experts’ contribution it wants to develop the topics labeled as sustainable finance.
