Publisher's Synopsis
This book analyzes recent trends and upcoming challenges in corporate governance and risk management in financial institutions with a particular focus on their rule in promoting a sustainable economic growth model. The impact of negative events caused by environmental and climate change can have significant consequences for the real economy and the financial system. This relevant impact has been affirmed several times by financial regulators and supervisors and has led to set objectives and encourage practices in line with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues in order to push both financial and nonfinancial firms towards a sustainable and circular economic model. The issue of climate risk change related to finance has launched a wide political debate at international and European level and was deepened investigated in literature. The analysis will be conducted at an international level, with a particular focus on Europe. The interdisciplinary will allow to address multiple issues under three, in our opinion, indispensable different profiles: i) managerial ii) mathematical (quantitative) and iii) legal. In this direction, the research aims to develop new knowledge and skills through the integration and cooperation between the different sectors and disciplines. In the scope of Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, the research would deepen the role of finance in accelerating the green transition towards a circular, climate-neutral and sustainable economy.
