It considers the host of new metrics, new measurement bodies, new financial products, and offers a nuanced lens on transition finance as well as on emerging risks. Green finance has matured in giant steps since the first edition of this book. Valuable then, this edition is compelling now."
Dame Susan Rice DBE
"Provides key contextual knowledge by clearly and concisely situating green and sustainable finance in reference to key sectors - from banking, insurance, bonds, equity funds, regulation et al - thus making this an essential read for all financial services practitioners and policy setters."
Omar Shaikh, Co-Founder, Global Ethical Finance Initiative
"The rapidly evolving nature of climate science, policies, regulations, reporting standards and initiatives make it difficult for professionals to keep up-to-date. This third edition is an invaluable compendium of information about green and sustainable finance. An essential book to bridge the skill gap in this space and help us to effectively respond to the climate crisis."
Elina Moscolin, Executive Vice President, Sustainability, Sage
"The revised <i><b>Green & Sustainable Finance</b></i> by <b>Simon Thompson</b> is an accessible and timely contribution to the literature. The text is case rich, international in approach, and contains many reflective exercises to enable and provoke discussion and reflection as to the major decisions confronting finance and financial institutions now and during the coming time of climate change."
John K. Ashton PhD, FCBI, SFHEA, Professor of Financial Regulation, University of York
"<b>Simon Thompson</b> has produced an outstanding and essential read for anyone in finance and banking who needs to better understand green and sustainable finance. The book helps the reader understand how to begin to align, embed, measure, and use green finance and grapple with making the green transition as individuals, firms, and communities. It is accessible, clear, well-constructed and addresses a myriad of complex issues while treating the reader with respect, without jargon. If you need to understand how to operationalise a firm's profitable pathway to net zero, you should buy this book and digest its lessons."
