Rezensionen

"This collection represents an important and timely new contribution to our understanding of green and sustainable finance. It brings together chapters by many of the leading scholars in this field and offers new thinking across a range of topics such as regulation, accounting, and reporting, as well as critical issues such as green-washing and the role of the state." - Professor Alex Nicholls MBA, Professor of Social Entrepreneurship, Said Business School, University of Oxford, and Fellow in Management, Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, United Kingdom.

"The Routledge Handbook of Green Finance successfully combines a collection of insights from international thought leaders. Thus, the handbook is an invaluable resource for understanding current developments through a breadth of diverse perspectives." - Aaron Ezroj, Former Director of the Office of Climate Risk Initiatives, California Department of Insurance, United States

"Green finance is growing, whether it will be a rare plant or a sustainable forest is still to be seen. This book is a great platform to observe and theorise these developments, and possibly imagine a better world." - Professor Paolo Quattrone, Professor of Accounting, Governance and Society and Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Investment Risk, Alliance Manchester Business School, Manchester, United Kingdom.

"The book is a leading authority on green finance, and those interested in ESG research will find this a good reference material." - Dr Matthias Nnadi, Senior Lecturer in Accounting, Cranfield School of Management, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom.

"The world of finance is fast-moving and the green finance sector moves even faster - and it moves forward. This book takes a good global look at its latest developments in terms of financing instruments, various evolving regulatory efforts, the main reporting platforms as well as certain less discussed green finance sectors. The book offers a good overview of the state of affairs by multiple contributors but a warning is in place; it may be a portal to a desire for deeper insights into the fascinating world of green finance." - Eila Kreivi, Director, Chief Sustainable Finance Advisor, European Investment Bank, Member of the Platform for Sustainable Finance
