Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to synthesise research on the concept of
sustainable development in finance. Indeed, since the mid-1990s under the
leadership of the United Nations and various non-governmental organisations,
sustainable development has experienced an unprecedented boom that
affects many areas. This synthesis is organised around two main themes:
sustainable finance and fintech/digitalisation.
