Welcome to Streams of Study: Sustainable Economics, Finance & Accounting (EF&A) at MIT Sloan. This resource is designed to help you explore how financial acumen - spanning finance, economics, and accounting - can be harnessed to advance sustainable solutions. Whether you are interested in investing for impact, shaping fiscal policy, or building sustainable business models, this guide will point you to courses, events, and communities that align with your interests.
As the global economy grapples with climate risk, social inequities, and resource constraints, there is growing demand for leaders who can apply financial tools and economic thinking to drive systems-level change. This resource explores how finance can support a just transition - by allocating capital responsibly, pricing risk accurately, and creating transparency through measurement and reporting.
In addition to traditional finance and economics roles, this resource highlights related paths in sustainability consulting and accounting. Consultants help organizations integrate ESG strategy and navigate complex environmental and social challenges, while the demand for expertise in ESG measurement and carbon accounting continues to grow. Global markets are moving toward standardized reporting, creating opportunities for professionals who can lead in impact measurement, data transparency, and evolving regulatory landscapes.
