With biodiversity loss continuing to rank among the most pressing global risks, this volume takes a close look at the tools, frameworks and financial mechanisms that are emerging to help bridge the substantial biodiversity funding gap and support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
This volume provides concrete examples of how blended finance and insurance instruments are being used in real-world contexts, alongside guidance for measuring biodiversity impact and insights into how local knowledge and scientific evidence can underpin effective and responsible financial decision-making.
As the world confronts the realities of climate change, the concept of ‘just transition’ has emerged as a crucial framework for guiding the shift towards a sustainable, low-carbon future. While no universally agreed-upon definition of just transition exists, its core principles focus on ensuring that the benefits of climate action are shared widely while addressing the social and economic impacts on communities and workers currently reliant on high-carbon industries like coal, oil and heavy manufacturing.
Achieving this balance requires careful planning, robust policies and, most importantly, innovative funding mechanisms that prioritise equity and inclusion.
In this third edition of ISEP’s Sustainable Finance Insight Journal, you’ll find insights from practitioners, thought pieces and case studies from some of the leading voices in this field.
In the rapidly evolving world of sustainable finance, the pursuit of current knowledge and trends is paramount, and it is some skill to stay on top of this information flow. In this volume of the Sustainable Finance Insight Journal, we seek to help by illuminating some of those emerging trends, perceptions and examples of practical application within disclosure, transparency, and reporting. This is an offering of fresh perspectives and valuable insights from experts across various disciplines within the fields of sustainability and finance.
While this collection of articles covers a lot of technical and practical aspects of transparency, reporting and disclosure in sustainable finance, when read as a whole a picture emerges of a sector using technical and practical tools to strive for a better way of doing things. A hopeful message emerges of the possibilities of positive change through sustainable finance.
Sustainable Finance Insight Journal, Volume 1: January 2024. This first volume is the start of a new series that has taken inspiration from our long-running Impact Assessment Outlook Journal, now on its 19th volume.
The Sustainable Finance Insight Journal is the creation of our new Sustainable Finance Network, established in 2023. The first volume brings together a collection of seven articles on the topic of competency, skills and certification in sustainable finance, following on from a member webinar on the same topic in October 2023.
