This edited collection brings together leading theoretical and
applied research with the intent to design a sustainable global
financial future. The contributors argue that our world cannot move
toward sustainability, address climate change, reverse
environmental degradation, and improve human well-being without
aligning the financial system with sustainable development goals
like those outlined by the United Nations. Such a system would: a)
be environmentally and socially responsible; b) align with
planetary boundaries; c) manage natural resources sustainably; d)
avoid doing more harm than good; and e) be resilient and adaptable
to changing conditions. The overarching theme in this collection of
chapters is a response to the worldwide, supranational sustainable
finance discussions about how we can transition to a new
socio-ecological system where finance, human well-being, and
planetary health are recognized as being highly intertwined.

This edited collection broadens the definition of sustainable real
estate based on industry trends, research, and the Paris Climate
Agreements. Discussions encompass existing and new buildings
throughout their life cycle, the financing of their development and
operations, and their impact on the surrounding environments and
communities. This broader perspective provides a better
understanding of the interconnected nature of the environmental,
societal, communal, political, and financial issues affecting
sustainable real estate, revealing the wide-ranging impact of
practitioners' decisions on the sustainable real estate system.
Bringing together carefully selected articles from leading global
academic and practitioner experts from urban planning, design,
construction, and finance, this collection brings to light new
opportunities and innovative transdisciplinary solutions to as-yet
unresolved problems.
