Abstract
Abstract The increasing awareness of climate change has given rise to a new approach of how the financial systems factor in environmental factors. In this chapter, the authors aim to investigate the link between carbon accounting and sustainable finance, and the potential of financial instruments for supporting the green economy. It is a crucial tool in quantifying and managing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in organizations thus providing a framework for emission reporting. At the same time, sustainable finance measures like green bonds, ESG investment, and carbon pricing have emerged as a way of directing capital towards low-carbon projects and endeavors. This chapter focuses on how carbon accounting methodologies can improve the financial decision-making process, increase transparency and encourage sustainable investment strategies. It also looks at the potential and difficulties of applying carbon accounting to the financial system, including the use of blockchain for carbon credits and artificial intelligence for emissions tracking.
