N2  - Climate change has been recognized as one of the biggest challenges of current times and 
has become a topic of considerable study and debate. It is predicted to have irreversible 
impacts on the ecosystem; however, climate change should also be considered a potential 
threat to the world economy if not properly and effectively addressed. This research 
attempted to contextualize climate change as not only a corporate social responsibility 
concern, but mostly as a crisis management issue, as well as to identify sustainable finance 
as a part of climate solution. The study is divided in two. Firstly, a survey was delivered to 
the public to assess climate change awareness and perception around the world. Secondly, 
a case study was conducted to analyse how Australian and French financial institutions are 
conducting and addressing climate change-related risks, as well as to analyse how the 
governments? actions can influence those businesses. The governance of private and public 
institutions should be accountable to incorporate the environment into decision-making; 
stakeholders are responsible to ensure that initiatives are implemented.
