Abstract
Ultimately, our goal is to move beyond ideas, beyond action to net zero and then to ‘climate positive’; to create a circular economy that relies on renewable energy, designs waste out of the system as much as possible, conserves and enhances biodiversity, and frames economic activity so that it is fair and equitable, and is good for the planet and society. This chapter is a forward-looking vision for sustainable finance to support these goals. It discusses scaling-up of resources to decarbonize and links sustainable finance with sustainable development. It explores the European Commission’s vision for a sustainable and climate neutral economy. It looks at Indigenous partnerships in green finance and green energy and the potential contributions of conservation finance. The chapter then turns to examples of sustainable finance in a number of sectors.
