摘要

Over the last decade, it has been evident that sustainable finance plays a critical role in directing and attracting investments toward businesses with positive social and environmental impact. This development is fundamental in reaching goals like carbon neutrality, preserving biodiversity, fostering inclusive economic development, and achieving SDGS by 2030. More than $6 trillion is the estimated cost of achieving the SDG goals by 2030. Although global financial assets may allow this huge expenditure, currently the resources are not utilized toward sustainable development at the scale and speed required. Hence, a significant challenge to monitor the utilization of resources in the right channel to efficiently consume the investment emerges. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with sustainability goals in finance represents a pivotal shift toward alleviating this challenge and enabling the creation of a responsible and efficient financial system. This chapter aims to understand the fusion of AI’s capabilities to address and support the future of sustainable finance across climate risk modeling, impact investing, Sustainable Supply Chain Management, Risk Mitigation with ESG integration, and Identification of greenwashing.
