This book explains the concerted efforts being implemented to promote environmentally and socially responsible practices within Africa's finance and insurance sectors.
Sustainable development has emerged as a crucial policy area and an ongoing research challenge, gaining the attention of governments and scholars worldwide since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations in 2015. In this context, sustainable finance and insurance initiatives have gained prominence, aiming to address social, environmental, and governance (ESG) issues that impact sustainability within the finance and insurance sectors.
While there is growing global recognition of sustainable finance and insurance as fundamental drivers of sustained economic growth, social development, and environmental protection, Africa faces obstacles in embracing these practices. The continent lags behind in adopting sustainable finance and insurance approaches, hindering its progress towards sustainable development goals. The integration of sustainability considerations into financial and insurance practices is essential to foster responsible investment, long-term resilience, and effective risk management. However, compared to some developed economies, there is a dearth of empirical, theoretical, and practical insights on sustainable finance and insurance specific to Africa.
Nevertheless, Africa grapples with unique sustainable development challenges that demand urgent attention. Thus, this book aims to provide a comprehensive compilation of research and insights on sustainable finance and insurance initiatives in Africa. By gathering a wide range of studies, the book sheds light on the progress, challenges, and potential strategies for fostering sustainable finance and insurance practices in Africa. Through rigorous analysis and case studies, the book aims to contribute valuable knowledge and recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in advancing sustainable development in the region.
The book aims to inspire and catalyze transformative change, ultimately leading to more inclusive and sustainable financial systems that benefit both society and the environment.
