"For higher education insititutions, teaching sustainable finance is a key priority. Considering the social and environmental challenges our societies are facing, it will be impossible to invent and implement solutions if the financial world does not adapt its concepts and practices. This book is offering a large spectrum of both theoretical and applied knowledge that can contribute to this progress. Written by some of the best international expert of this field, no doubt it will become a reference for many students, researchers and aspiring managers.”
Nicolas Mottis, Professor at École polytechnique, France
"Pathways to Teaching Sustainable Finance offers a clear and compelling guide to how finance must be taught differently. The result is a resource that challenges conventional assumptions while equipping instructors to integrate climate risk, governance, impact, and regulation into core curricula. Essential reading for faculty, academic leaders, and practitioners alike, this book will help shape the next generation of finance education - and, in turn, the future of finance itself."
Andreas Rasche, Professor of Business in Society and Associate Dean Full-Time MBA Program, Copenhagen Business School
