The New Zero-Emission's Economy Instruments and Pandemic Sustainable Financial Performance

Abstract

The awareness of environmental sustainability and climate change issues is necessary to change the mindset of the world population from an intensive and linear use of resources to a more responsible and circular one. In the same way, institutional bodies, governments, banks and financial institutions must be lean towards economic and social initiatives policies and funding in line with the objectives of reducing emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. In this paper are going to be discussed some of the new-born principal methodologies created to help the financing of a zero-impact circular economy and some refined financial instruments modified to incorporate the themes of environmental sustainability and social inclusion. The topic of financial sustainability is under development and constantly evolving. For this reason, some tools will also be reported under the perspective that in the coming years, these will allow to extend the available offering of financial instruments to investors sensitive to environmental issues. Finally, the impacts which these tools may have on the economy and the environment will be observed, with particular regard to the European Community. The improvement of the financial instruments represents an essential and decisive step in order to finance a more sustainable, responsible and inclusive economy. In the long term, this will allow to eliminate the atmospheric polluting emissions and, ultimately, a reversion of climate change.
