Why Self-Commitment Is Not Enough: On a Regulated Minimum Standard for Ecologically and Socially Responsible Financial Products and Services.This edited collection brings together leading theoretical and applied research with the intent to design a sustainable global financial future. The contributors argue that our world cannot move toward sustainability, address climate change, reverse environmental degradation, and improve human well-being without aligning the financial system with sustainable development goals like those outlined by the United Nations. Such a system would: a) be environmentally and socially responsible; b) align with planetary boundaries; c) manage natural resources sustainably; d) avoid doing more harm than good; and e) be resilient and adaptable to changing conditions. The overarching theme in this collection of chapters is a response to the worldwide, supranational sustainable finance discussions about how we can transition to a new socio-ecological system where finance, human well-being, and planetary health are recognized as being highly intertwined.Palgrave Studies in Sustainable Business In Association with Future Earth,2662-1339Finance, PublicEconomicsEnvironmental economicsPublic FinancePolitical Economy and Economic SystemsEnvironmental EconomicsFinance, Public.Economics.Environmental economics.Public Finance.Political Economy and Economic Systems.Environmental Economics.336Walker Thomasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKibsey Stéfanie D.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtCrichton Rohanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298172003321Designing a Sustainable Financial System2513967UNINA
