Introduction
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, with the potential to have far-reaching and devastating impacts on our planet and society as a whole. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need for urgent action to mitigate the effects of climate change, and one of the key areas where action is needed is in the realm of finance. Sustainable finance, which seeks to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into financial decision-making, has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing climate change.
This thesis aims to explore the role of sustainable finance in climate change mitigation, examining how financial institutions and markets can be leveraged to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. By analyzing the current state of sustainable finance practices, identifying key challenges and opportunities, and proposing recommendations for future action, this thesis seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on this important topic.
