Climate and ESG Investing

This book introduces ESG investing as a strategy that integrates environmental, social, and governance factors into investment decision-making. The rise of ESG investing has been driven by a combination of increased awareness of climate change, a shift toward stakeholder capitalism, growing institutional support, financial performance evidence, and regulatory changes. Understanding ESG ratings and how they are applied in portfolio management is essential for investors seeking to align their investments with both financial goals and ethical values.
