Overcoming economic, security and climate challenges, uncertainties, and risks, urge rethinking society requirements for current and future generation and rekindle cooperation and partnerships for a green growth in a new era. The driving force for finance and banking is to assess countries’ progress moving to innovative, inclusive, sustainable and resilient growth. Therefore, past policies, data, and scientific research results can boost the world today through the eyes of the future. Worldwide actions ‘are not good today, if yesterday did not think of tomorrow.’ In this context, research could provide scientific support to tackle society challenges mainly in the area of finance and banking.
