Financing Change : The Financial Community, Eco-efficiency, and Sustainable Development

The aim of this text is to provide a close look at whether the workings of financial markets (stocks, bonds, banks and insurance companies) do, or should, support sustainable development.Largely descriptive rather than prescriptive, the book examines questions that should become increasingly important as populations burgeon and the developing countries enter the financial markets.

The text examines these issues in separate chapters covering the viewpoints of the financial market participants - company directors, investors and analysts, bankers, insurers, accountants and raters.
