This course gives a general introduction about how to incorporate sustainability in finance. Very interesting and motivating. I would recommend it to anyone interested in these topics.

The course gave me a great overview of the challenges that a sustainable financial system faces. Many perspectives are mentioned, but I would have loved to hear more details.

Very informative, but the level of verbal English of the speakers (especially Dirk, no offense) is quite low. Willem is much better at English and presenting in general but doesn't get to speak often.
