Article Series: What is sustainable finance and why does it matter?

As part of our ADGMA Research Centre Insights Series, we are publishing adapted articles from amongst our strategic collaborators. This article is republished with the kind permission of Imperial College Business School, IB Knowledge. It follows on from our previous series of articles related to sustainable reporting and sustainable finance published throughout 2023 in the lead up to COP28. Marcin Kacperczyk, Professor of Finance at Imperial College London, provides insights on the challenges and opportunities of sustainable finance. While many elements are still lacking – universal standards, repercussions of non-compliance, transparency – doing something is undoubtedly better than doing nothing.
