Handbook of Quantitative Sustainable Finance is an edited collection concerning the integration of sustainability and climate risk considerations into mathematical and quantitative finance. This comprehensive handbook provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students who are interested in understanding the practical role of quantitative techniques in delivering sustainable finance and investment.

The book is divided into four main parts: Risks and Regulation; Asset Pricing and Portfolio Management; Data, Measurement, and AI; and Product Design and Specific Markets. Although this structure offers a coherent, unifying structure to the book, each chapter has been written so as to be self-contained and useful to readers interested in any specific aspect of quantitative sustainable finance. Every chapter has been written by leading experts in their field, and offers a useful, authoritative window into the state of research and practice.

Features

· Numerous contributions from leading experts in sustainable finance

· Cutting edge analysis of recent technological advances in areas such as artificial intelligence

· Practical tools and ideas for working quants, as well as valuable material for academic study.
