Pathways to Teaching Sustainable Finance
Description
This book showcases the experiences and perspectives of instructors and researchers who are pioneering sustainable finance research and education.
Sustainable finance broadly defined refers to the integration of sustainability issues within financial practices. Given the urgency of funding sustainable development, meeting new regulatory agendas, and navigating the increasing politicization of sustainable finance, demands for immediate sustainable finance expertise and training has grown. Yet, the pedagogical implications of increasing scholarly and practitioner interest in sustainable finance have been largely neglected. Filling this gap, Pathways to Teaching Sustainable Finance examines how curriculums can be redesigned to accommodate sustainable finance education. It discusses the specific skills, tools, and theoretical insights that constitute an emerging sustainable finance 'corpus' and provides critical perspectives on the field. Each chapter engages with the different strategies, theoretical frameworks, pedagogical tools and learning objectives informed by the authors' own teaching practice or by their research.
Chapters also include cases, suggestions for assignments, and other resources that can support the design of sustainable finance courses and syllabi. Collating insights from a broad range of experts in the field, this book therefore provides theoretical and critical reflections alongside practical insight for faculty and higher education institutions, as well as market, public, and non-profit actors who have been calling for better expertise in sustainable finance.
