Handbook of Environmental and Green Finance:Toward a Sustainable Future

Edited by Sabri Boubaker and Thai-Ha Le

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic undeniably wreaked havoc on global trade, profoundly affecting people's lives and having a significant impact on economic growth worldwide. Many people regard COVID-19 as "the fury of nature." However, even during the context, and now aftermath, of the pandemic there are still ongoing critical problems facing the world that have not cooled down — one of which is climate change. The recent unusual and extreme weather conditions have thrust climate change into the media limelight and to the forefront of the public agenda. Nowadays, climate change receives special attention from many organizations, countries and governments worldwide because of its profound influence on the global economy and people's lives. Natural disasters and prolonged drought can destroy infrastructure; threaten crops, food production, as well as human life; and lead to mass migration. The effects of climate change are evident everywhere globally and appear to be more severe than ever before.
