Abstract: Abstract The financial sector plays a critical role in channeling capital toward sustainable development. As the world grapples with the pressing challenge of climate change, the integration of environmental imperatives into financial decision-making has become paramount. However, traditional financial decision-making often neglects environmental considerations. This chapter explores the growing importance of environmental factors in financial analysis and investment strategies. We discuss the environmental risks posed by climate change, resource depletion, and pollution, and how these risks can translate into financial losses. It explores the evolving landscape of sustainable finance, highlighting how environmental considerations are increasingly influencing investment strategies, risk assessment, and corporate governance. It delves into the role of regulatory frameworks, the rise of green finance instruments, and the pivotal function of artificial intelligence (AI) in driving this transformation. Finally, the chapter examines the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating environmental considerations into financial decision-making, paving the way for a greener financial future.
