Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sustainable finance now moves trillions of dollars a year, yet emissions keep rising and adaptation stays unfunded. This book explains which mechanisms actually change where capital goes, and which only change how it is measured and reported.

- Understand how disclosure regimes, taxonomies, and reporting standards determine what qualifies as sustainable investment- Analyze why ESG ratings from major providers disagree, and what that divergence does to benchmarks and pricing- Discover how green bonds and sustainability-linked instruments are structured, priced, and verified in practice- Evaluate impact investing claims against the additionality and counterfactual evidence they actually require- Examine why the cost of capital, not project availability, is the binding constraint in emerging markets- Interpret emissions trading design, allowance allocation, carbon taxes, and border carbon adjustment mechanisms- Assess voluntary carbon market integrity, offset quality failures, carbon removal durability, and Article 6 cooperation>Written for professionals who need to distinguish credible climate finance from well-labelled activity, this book treats sustainable finance as a system of institutional mechanisms rather than a product category. Read it to see clearly where the capital is actually moving, and why.
