Introduction

The crises have emphasised the importance of increasing our resilience to environmental and social (E&S) risks, with COVID-19 a dress rehearsal for the disruptive impacts of climate change and nature loss, with the 2008 financial crisis, the financial industry all over the world has deeply affected.
