Abstract

This chapter aims at giving an overview of the key characteristics of the green finance market as it stands today. To this extent, the chapter first recalls the main roots of the role of ethics in finance. Hence, it deals with the political process culminating with the Paris Agreement and the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals as well as highlights the role of green finance in such a process. Hence, it provides a detailed picture of the market by describing the types of existing green securities and financial products and showing the recent investment trends. Finally, the chapter summarises the key challenges still ahead for green finance in order to be considered a stable component of the modern financial landscape.
