Explore how sustainable finance and impact investing are reshaping modern capital markets by integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into financial decision‑making. Students learn how markets and institutions respond to global challenges—climate change, inequality, biodiversity loss—while still pursuing strong returns.
Examine how capital can be directed toward projects that deliver measurable social and environmental benefits, offering a practical foundation in impact investing. Core topics include ESG integration, green bonds, sustainable investment frameworks, impact measurement, and the regulatory standards driving the transition to a more sustainable financial system.
