📄 Abstract(原文)
<i>The increasing desperation of environmental degradation, social inequality, and governance failures has moved sustainable finance from a marginal issue to a core pillar of world economic discussion. However, in Nigeria, the implementation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into the financial system is still mostly mere wishful thinking due to a complex of structural, institutional, and informational constraints. This paper critically analyses the current situation of sustainable finance in financial sector of Nigeria, questioning the discrepancy between policy intention and its application. Based on the Stakeholder Theory, Institutional Theory and Risk Management Theory, the research forms a multi-theoretical perspective on why adoption has not yet succeeded despite the growing regulatory indicators and world trends. The paper extracts practical lessons applicable to the Nigerian situation through a comparative analysis of global best practices such as Sustainable Finance Action Plan of the European Union, Green Credit Policy in China, a banking-sector-based sustainability model in South Africa, and experience in emerging economies of India and Brazil. Five interconnected barriers are identified: weak and predominantly voluntary policy frameworks, prohibitive economic and infrastructural costs, deeply ingrained institutional resistance due to the short-term profit orientation, lack of public awareness, and stakeholder fragmentation, a major technological and data deficiency undermining credible ESG reporting. To tackle these challenges, the paper recommends a set of evidenced-based solutions, such as the creation of a national green finance taxonomy, the compulsory disclosure of ESG information in line with the standards of the International Sustainability Standards Board, blended financing mechanisms to de-risk green investments, the adoption of the centralized ESG data platforms in partnership with fintech innovators. The results add to the emerging yet expanding literature on sustainable finance in developing economies, and provide useful advice to policymakers, financial regulators, and industry practitioners on how to bring the Nigeria financial architecture in line with both national and global development agendas, as well as sustainability commitments.</i>
