Abstract

This chapter offers a basic introduction to the existing financial system: how does capital flow through the financial system and why does this create negative environmental and climate impacts? It explores who are the different actors and how they are motivated and where are the relevant points of potential change, with a special focus on the insurance industry. Market trends and how to interpret them are explained, followed by consideration of what we mean by a green bond and an account of the green bond market since its inception. Finally, we consider how to shift large-scale investment towards sustainable sectors by a combination of socially responsible investment and pro-sustainability investment indices.
