SFI Public Discussion Note: Sustainable Finance in a Shifting World Order
The last three years have seen two "black swan" events: the outbreak of a pandemic and the outbreak of war in Europe. But that's not all the bad news—the specter of inflation has appeared and taken on an intensity not seen in more than a generation, and the risk of a global recession is now looming. As a consequence, the world order is shifting.
In this SFI Public Discussion Note on "Sustainable Finance in a Shifting World Order" SFI Prof. Alexander F. Wagner (UZH) shows that sustainable finance has resulted in some progress. However, the extent to which the financial industry can contribute to improved sustainability is still up for debate. And recent crises have also raised the question of how resilient companies perceived as sustainable actually are. Certainly, a lot remains to do, and ultimately it is individual effort and the responsible behavior of each of us that can make the world a happier and more sustainable place.
