This Open Access book outlines ideas for a novel, scalable and, above all, sustainable financial system. We all know that today’s global markets are unsustainable and global governance is not effective enough. Given this situation, could one boost smart human coordination, sustainability and resilience by tweaking society at its core: the monetary system? A Computational Social Science team at ETH Zürich has indeed worked on a concept and little demonstrator for a new financial system, called “Finance 4.0” or just “FIN4”, which combines blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (“IoT”). What if communities could reward sustainable actions by issuing their own money (“tokens”)? Would people behave differently, when various externalities became visible and were actionable through cryptographic tokens? Could a novel, participatory, multi-dimensional financial system be created? Could it be run by the people for the people and lead to more societal resilience than today’s financial system (which is effectively one-dimensional due to its almost frictionless exchange)? How could one manage such a system in an ethical and democratic way? This book presents some early attempts in a nascent field, but provides a fresh view on what cryptoeconomic systems could do for us, for a circular economy, and for scalable, sustainable action.

This edited collection brings together leading theoretical and applied research with the intent to design a sustainable global financial future. The contributors argue that our world cannot move toward sustainability, address climate change, reverse environmental degradation, and improve human well-being without aligning the financial system with sustainable development goals like those outlined by the United Nations. Such a system would: a) be environmentally and socially responsible; b) align with planetary boundaries; c) manage natural resources sustainably; d) avoid doing more harm than good; and e) be resilient and adaptable to changing conditions. The overarching theme in this collection of chapters is a response to the worldwide, supranational sustainable finance discussions about how we can transition to a new socio-ecological system where finance, human well-being, and planetary health are recognized as being highly intertwined.

This book is a critical analysis of the impact of the financial system on the economy, society and the natural environment. It cuts through the noise to looks at its purpose, its activities, and what it does in practice. Unlike other books that cover the last financial crisis and the risk of another one; this book is about the consequence of the financial system continuing in its current form. It argues that the financial system is a construct of flawed economic theories, designed in the hope that the market will efficiently allocate society’s capital. Instead, the finance sector allocates savings and investment to maximize its own revenues, with resulting collateral damage to the economy, society and the environment. Although governments try to preserve and regulate the existing system, it is being replaced by a new system driven by technological innovation. The book describes the opportunities this presents for a renaissance of the financial system to actually meet the needs of society, and to re-engineer our economy to avoid environmental crisis. The book is for anyone who would like to understand the finance system’s purpose, what it does in practice and its impact on the real world. For those working in the industry it provides an overview of the system, their place within it, and how to bring about change. For students and academics it provides a valuable critique of the financial system, and the theories on which it is based. For financial policymakers and regulators it identifies key challenges in their activities.

There are many studies confirming the relationship between financial systems and economic development, but there are few which examine the degree to which financial systems a) impact the quality of information, b) influence sound corporate governance, c) ensure effective mechanisms of risk management, d) mobilize savings and f) facilitate trade. In the context of sustainability, there should also be a line of inquiry into how a particular financial system influences the assurance and implementation of sustainable development principles and goals. This book delivers a methodological approach to designing and assessing sustainable financial systems. It provides an original contribution by prioritizing ESG factors in the decision-making process of financial institutions and identifying their impact on sustainable financial systems. The author argues that to achieve financial stability, it is necessary to have in place mechanisms designed to prevent financial problems from becoming systemic and/or threatening the stability of the financial and economic system, while maintaining (or not undermining) the economy’s ability to sustain growth and perform its other functions. The book primarily takes a simulation and experimental approach. It is the first book to take such a comprehensive look at sustainable financial systems as opposed to sustainable finance in general. It will appeal to academics, students and researchers in the fields of economics, finance and banking, business, management and political and social sciences.

"Towards the end of 2016, the European Commission set up a High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (the HLEG) with '20 policy leaders from civil society, the finance sector and academia' . They were joined by nine observers from industry associations and other stakeholders, and were supported by a Secretariat from DG FISMA. We were originally tasked with 'making recommendations for a comprehensive EU strategy on sustainable finance as part of the Capital Markets Union'. Privately the group were told that it would help if we could come up with a handful of practical recommendations that the Commission could implement as part of the work of developing the Capital Markets Union. By the end, our mission had become to 'develop an overarching and comprehensive EU road map on sustainable finance'. As a method of compiling input to EU policy, the approach of using an Expert Group was not new - but the outcome went way beyond any previous experience. During 2017 the HLEG broke new ground: the first such group to launch a public consultation and to have a huge, open conference in Brussels to discuss its interim Report . The HLEG met regularly for around 12 months, publishing its Final Report on 30 January 2018 - thanks to some outstanding chairmanship and secretarial support. Rather than a handful, there were over a hundred specific recommendations (in truth, no one has ever counted, exactly!) The Commission published its Action Plan in response just six weeks later (accompanied by another Brussels conference) and published draft legislation in May the same year. For the public sector, such speed was remarkable. But the urgency was warranted, and not just by the proximity of European Parliament elections. Progress globally on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (both flow and stock) is still not fast enough to avoid the high probability of climate-related catastrophe. Indeed, there are already events around the world leading to death and destruction - and financial loss - which are being amplified by global warming"--

Sustainable development is necessary to counteract and mitigate the impact of socially harmful forces in a globalized world. However, sustainable development and its organizations must ensure the effective management of their funds and beneficial financial frameworks in order to best realize their sustainable goals. There is a need for studies that seek to understand how to connect sustainable development and the financial world in order to maximize the economic and environmental wellbeing of the world. Social, Economic, and Environmental Impacts Between Sustainable Financial Systems and Financial Markets is a pivotal reference source that examines the funding and monetary utilization of environmental and socially-responsible entities. Featuring research on topics such as green taxes, intergenerational equity, and shadow economy, this book is ideally designed for government officials, policymakers, economists, financial managers, sustainability developers, and academicians seeking current research on the relationship between new sustainable financial phenomena and negative global externalities.

Global South countries face significant challenges to finance sustainable and just transformation. These challenges stem partly from the hierarchical character of the current international monetary system, which requires Global South countries to obtain U.S. dollars to finance the imports necessary for sustainable investments. To overcome this hurdle, we propose the foundation of a Green Bretton Woods System. A Green World Central Bank (GWCB) would be allowed to create its own unit of account, which for the present purposes we shall call the ecor. New ecor reserves could be created by the GWCB on demand. The ecor would be a global special purpose money similar to Keynes' 'bancor'. Various structures would ensure that the ecor could only be spent for social-ecological projects. Deficit countries would be granted loans in ecors that would be credited to their GWCB accounts to finance imports needed to combat the climate crisis and advance the process of sustainable and just transformation in their societies and economies. In this way, the amount of ecors would adjust endogenously to the real demands for socio-ecological change and would not be limited by reserves, or funding conditions from private finance. GWCB accounts of surplus countries would be debited in ecors, and the amount debited would only be allowed to be spent within the system. This would prevent a run on ecors. At the same time, it would provide an expansionary mechanism to overcome unjust international imbalances.

"Digital transformation" sounds harmless, given that the explosion in data volumes, processing power and Artificial Intelligence has driven humanity and the entire world to a point of no return. We will surely see a new civilization, but we are at a crossroads. The future needs to be re-invented, decisions must be taken. After the automation of factories and the creation of self-driving cars, the automation of society is on its way. But there are two kinds of automation: a centralized top-down control of the world and a distributed control approach, supporting local self-organization. Using the power of today’s information systems, governments and big tech companies seem to engage in the first approach. Might they even build a „digital Crystal Ball“ that knows almost everything, including your personality, and a super-intelligent "digital God“ to control what we do? We are much closer to such „science fiction scenarios“ than you probably think. In this much expanded second edition of "The Automation of Society is Next: How to Survive the Digital Revolution" (2015), the author discusses lessons learned on digital democracy, aspects of transhumanism and far-reaching thoughts about life in the digital age and what it may mean to be human in the future.
