      abstract = {Our planet faces a systemic threat from climate change,  which the world community of nations is ill-prepared to  address, and this book argues that a new form of  ecologically conscious capitalism is needed in order to  tackle this serious and rising threat. While the Paris  Climate Agreement of 2015 has finally implemented a global  climate policy regime, its modest means belie its ambitious  goals. Our institutional financial organizations are not  equipped to deal with the problems that any credible  commitment to a low-carbon economy will have to confront.  We will have to go beyond cap-and-trade schemes and limited  carbon taxes to cut greenhouse gas emissions substantially  in due time. This book offers a way forward toward that  goal, with a conceptual framework that brings environmental  preservation back into our macro-economic growth and  forecasting models. This framework obliges firms to  consider other goals beyond shareholder value maximization,  outlining the principal tenets of a climate-friendly  finance and introducing a new type of money linked to  climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.--},
