Sustainable finance has become inextricably integrated into the capital markets in order to support economic growth and reduce environment problem. The financial system is integral to achieving a smooth transition to a low carbon economy. Sustainable innovation is a process where sustainability considerations (environmental, social, financial) are integrated into company systems from idea generation through to research and development and commercialization. The course is designed to help the students gain an understanding of the sustainability development goals (SDGs), initiatives and regulations that support to develop the sustainable financial systems.
