S2 EP4: Sustainable Finance

The transition to a sustainable global economy will be the most capital-intensive transition in human history.

Sustainable finance is about aligning the financial system with global sustainability. This focus is becoming increasingly relevant as our economic activities reach beyond the natural and social boundaries of our planet.

A new and resilient financial system is required to underpin this economic transition. Getting financial markets to integrate climate change, environmental, and social sustainability into their decision-making will help institutions appropriately manage risk and reduce losses.

But how can information from space empower this process?
