Emphasising job creation and social justice, the book is very pertinent for the post COVID-19 recovery." Clairie Papazoglou, environment consultant</p><p><br></p><p>"Climate change is ultimately a consequence of the illusion of eternal material economic growth. The reform of the current financial system, however, will be beset by short-term vested interests seeking to maintain the status quo. This text examines well why the Green Deal can, and must, be part of a war that humanity dare not lose." John Sweeney, Maynooth University'</p><p><br></p><p>"Climate change is undisputable. This book provides the solutions and how to finance them to support the societal and economic transitions to restore a climate in which humans can live." Sylvain Pichat, Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon (LGL-TPE), ENS Lyon and Max Planck Institute for Chemistry</p><p><br></p><p>"A pioneering work on how to harness banking and green economics into a mutually reinforcing symbiosis. Everyone claims to want a green economy but few work out concrete and practical ways of achieving this aim. The authors understand economics and political possibilities and their work is more than timely."
