Sustainability and green finance is an evolving area as the population grows as well as awareness has risen. The instructor did a great job in honing on the key parts of this topic.

Anthony De Meo, CPA (US)

This is a course which espouses so called facts which are at least debatable, if not unproven. I disagree with the premise that "green finance" makes sense.
