Rehman, PhD, GW Deans Professorial Fellow of International Finance, Professor of International Finance (GWSB) & Professor of International Affairs (ESIA), The George Washington University, USA This book analyses sustainable finance policies implemented by the European Commission since January 2020. Gathering contributors from a range of European and international universities, it explores how EU strategy on green finance encourages and stimulates socially responsible investments that provide solutions to the challenges of the energy transition. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of economic, financial and legal issues concerning sustainable finance and ESG factor integration in the EU. The first part discusses theoretical and empirical perspectives on socially responsible investments (SRIs) and ESG integration, while the second section focuses specifically on the role of corporate governance in both institutional and private investment spheres. Part III explores valuation and risk, including a discussion of current trends in SRI funding in the new European ESG Regulatory Framework and an exploration of blue finance and its incorporation into EU financial strategy. The final section discusses legal and regulatory issues, including a discussion on the current debate between soft and hard law concerning ESG regulation. This edited collection will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working in green finance, sustainability, energy economics and financial law.
