Finanza sostenibile e sistema di finanza pubblica sostenibile

Schilirò, Daniele (2024): Finanza sostenibile e sistema di finanza pubblica sostenibile.

Abstract

This contribution first examined the topic of finance that takes ESG factors into consideration. It highlights that the main objective of sustainable finance is to direct investments towards more sustainable technologies and businesses. Another important goal is to better manage risks, such as those related to climate change, resource depletion, social problems and governance failures. Finally, we highlight the importance of "impact investing" which represents the new frontier of ethical and sustainable finance. The second theme of this contribution concerns public finance systems for the difficult implementation of the complex ESG objectives. The need for a partnership between the public sector and the private financial sector and greater attention to ecological issues by the financial system are highlighted. Sustainable finance, however, also implies a change in the economic paradigm which must move away from a neoclassical approach and towards theoretical models such as those of behavioral economics, which allows the objectives of economic agents to be redefined as compatible with the ESGs.
