It is hoped that the financial sector will contribute significantly to the achievement of sustainability goals. The financial sector converts money in place, term, size and risk. It determines which projects are financed, influencing both the nature and return of funded projects. In principle, this decision power could be used to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy. However, the crucial question is whether the financial sector can meet these high expectations? The contributions in this edition of the Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung revolve around this question. The authors discuss the sustainability of dis-investment decisions, suggest a concept to measure sustainability in the real estate sector, examine if young adults are literate with respect to sustainable finance, and investigate whether green public procurement affects the financing of companies.
