Sustainable finance is a financial approach that incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into the decision-making processes of institutions. Its goal is to promote economic growth while addressing critical global issues such as climate change, social injustice and business governance concerns. It seeks to help the global economy become more resilient, fair, and environmentally sustainable by investing money sustainably. The main goal is to boost economic growth while also dealing with important world problems like Climate change, issues of social injustice, and problems with business governance. Despite progress, challenges such as inadequate transparency standards, limited investor awareness, and regulatory inconsistencies persist globally, including in India. Overcoming these challenges requires collaborative efforts to improve disclosure standards, broaden ESG data availability and promote investor education. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of sustainable finance including its definition, goals, approaches, tools, legislation, challenges, and recommendations.
