This month in the Cornerstone Journal of Sustainable Finance & Banking (JSFB), we consider the extent to which the global markets have been able to absorb the cross-currents of macro, micro and structural factors with a good deal of resilience. In addition, we pay very special attention to “natural capital” this month by highlighting the value of the world’s forests and ways in which the capital markets can facilitate their protection.
