ABSTRACT
Behavioural finance, social entrepreneurship, impact investing, zero carbon, Paris Agreement, COP 21 and UN Sustainable Development Goals, green bonds and Social Impact Bonds (SIB) are merged in Integral Investing. In SIB, beyond financial innovation, Rosella Care describes the implication of SIBs on the real economy and the public and private sectors and deals with impact matrix and standards. A movement known as collective impact has facilitated successful collaborations in the social sector and it can guide companies' efforts to bring together the various actors in their ecosystems to catalyse change. Green bonds are in the centre of the strategy to redirect huge financial resources into climate projects which will be crucial in order to reach the two degree target agreed upon in Paris. Projects such as the UNEP Inquiry, looking into how the financial system can contribute to a green and sustainable economy, have led to intense discussions on the role of financial players in contributing to sustainable development.
