Abstract: Sustainable finance has emerged as a pivotal model for aligning financial practices with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. Simply put, it is "finance for sustainability" (Migliorelli, 2021). This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) from 2005 to 2024 about sustainable finance, its instruments, strategies, frameworks, and challenges. For this purpose, we relied on the PRISMA framework to conduct the review process. We used Scopus as a primary database for article selection. Further literature was identified using Google Scholar, JSTOR, and citation chaining. The final pool consisted of 36 documents, extracted and analysed using Zotero and NVIVO. The review highlights the main instruments of sustainable finance (green and sustainability-linked bonds and loans), its strategies (positive, negative, norm-based, and transversal screenings), its frameworks (PRB, PRI, and TCFD) as well as its challenges.
