The relationship between sustainable finance and crises is marked by paradox, tension, and complexity. While major crises such as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weaknesses of short-term, shareholder-centric financial models, they also created opportunities for alternative approaches to finance and risk management.

Sustainable finance—through the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into financial decision-making, capital allocation, and risk management—has emerged as a promising framework to address systemic risks and promote long-term societal well-being. However, sustainable finance itself faces growing challenges, including political backlash, greenwashing, concentration risks, and valuation concerns.

This Article Collection seeks rigorous, multidisciplinary research that examines the resilience and vulnerabilities of sustainable finance amid overlapping global crises, including geopolitical conflicts, inflationary pressures, climate change, and disruptions to global supply chains.
