Financial Resilience and the Sustainable Development Goals

Financial resilience is a concept that is gaining importance in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk and can be considered from the perspective of any entity operating in the market economy, from households to local government units. This book presents the concept of financial resilience from a global and an international perspective, and through the prism of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).It covers a broad spectrum, from the theoretical framework and the assessment of the current state of knowledge and research to the practical approach used in financial institutions. The book's key contribution is that it examines the link between the SDGs and financial resilience, which is an interesting and under-researched observation. Its original and innovative approach to financial resilience fills this research gap and also includes a discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation.The book provides empirical analyses, case studies and a framework, strategies and recommendations for building financial resilience. As such, it will be a valuable source of knowledge for students, academics, researchers and policymakers in the field of finance, and particularly green and sustainable finance.
