The Green Economy Doubled — How Finance Is Responding

A recent report from the London Stock Exchange Group reveals that the global green economy has more than doubled in size since 2015, now accounting for over $10 trillion in annual revenues. This includes booming industries like clean energy, sustainable agriculture, circular economy technologies, and ESG-aligned financial services. The report also notes that sustainable investment products are now mainstream in institutional portfolios.

This expansion underscores the urgency for universities and training providers to update their curricula. GenESG does just that — connecting financial theory with the tools and frameworks needed to understand this new reality. Students explore case studies of green businesses, simulate impact investing strategies, and assess ESG risks using AI. These skills will be essential in a world where sustainability is no longer niche, but foundational.
