    • What role (if any) does the financial sector play in the much needed transition to a sustainable economic system? Sustainability implies many different aspects of society and how the economy is organized. The perhaps most pressing issues where the current economic system creates unsustainable outcomes pertains to environment degradation and climate change. For instance, the increase in the global average temperature has to be kept well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and for that happen, our societies have to embark on a more sustainable path of resource utilization and economic production. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the full implementation of climate pledges made under the Paris Agreement will require the energy sector alone to invest 13,5 trillion dollars up to 2030. In light of this significant challenge, there has been increasing focus on what role the financial sector can or should play.
