A sustainable finance approach, derived from the Resource Nexus, could be a key aspect of the evolution of the global financial architecture into a financial system that is not primarily focused on its own stability, but rather, serves to finance ecologically and socially sustainable development. This module not only explores the ways by which Resource Nexus projects can better address financial and trading systems; it also delves into the means of enabling financial and trading systems to adhere to sustainable development within planetary boundaries in a just and safe way. Meeting the challenge of managing and financing the resources needed for human life in a sustainable way forms the basis of this Resource Nexus module.
