The Sustainable Development Goals introduced by the United Nations
in 2016 call for the significant mobilisation of finance. However,
although sustainable investments are steadily increasing, there
still remain large gaps within financing and the information that
financial markets rely on is often incomplete or incorrect. For
instance, the financial system has been structured around
short-term frameworks and goals while the most pressing
environmental and social challenges are long-term. Prices do not
convey the cost of externalities associated with social and
environmental challenges. It is therefore important to implement
the effective pricing of externalities and create a common language
and taxonomy between investors, issuers and policy-makers in order
to best serve sustainable development. Addressing this challenge,
the authors delve deeper into the levers that can be pulled within
the financial system to prompt an efficient ecosystem of
sustainability-related information, allowing social and
environmental externalities to be incorporated into the
decision-making process of all market agents. Incentives needed for
investors, issuers and intermediaries are proposed along with
regulation that can trigger these incentives. This book offers a
comprehensive collection of chapters which explore the ongoing
evolution of the European regulatory framework, providing essential
reading for policymakers, practitioners and researchers alike.
