Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Sustainable finance as an area of research is relatively new. This interest began after the 2008 economic crisis when criticism of the dominant liberal growth-oriented economic system arose. Previously, finance was a tool to support the implementation of the concept of maximizing profit, generating negative environmental and social externalities. The preceding economic model, derived from neoclassical economy, is turning towards a model supporting sustainable development, a green low-carbon economy, and adaptation to climate change. We are, therefore, witnessing a multilevel transformation of the economic, technological, and social systems towards a more environmentally sustainable and socially just model. We are moving towards a new resource-efficient economy based on technological and social innovation.
The guest editors invite researchers from academia, business, and other stakeholders to submit both theoretical and applied research papers in the area of sustainable finance. Preferable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- financial aspects of environmental and social governance;
- sustainable finance and law;
- finance for climate change;
- financial aspects of innovative technologies;
- sustainable investments;
- funds for sustainable projects;
- financial markets in the context of sustainability;
- sustainable insurance;
- sustainable banking;
- sustainable taxation;
- social justice;
- sustainable financing of public goods and services;
- inequalities as a target of sustainable financing;
- finance in sustainable healthcare systems—bridging health and finance perspectives;
- sustainable financing of sin companies and population health;
- tools and policy levers to meet fiscal sustainability challenges; and
- coronavirus and sustainable financing.
