Climate change risks, financial instability, and geopolitical uncertainty, climate finance (CF) as an integral element of the striving—if not already achieved—global sustainability and resilience goal to instability. This risk/uncertainty dimension has also been conflated due to supply chain disruptions, ‘energy insecurity’, and unequal access to climate capital. This chapter will reflect on the importance of transparent, innovative, and inclusive financial ecosystems/services to transition to a low carbon world. This will relate to ‘employee’, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and use of Partial Least Squares (PLS), to develop and validate a conceptual model (Research Framework) of ‘climate risk’, ‘financial innovation’, ‘regulatory support’, ‘institutional trust’, and ‘sustainability outcomes’. The chapter identifies tracked outcomes that FIN and SO are both strongly strengthened by IT and regulatory fit is helpful. Financial resilience (FR) enhances the ability for socio-economic resilience in response to COVID-19 climate induced disruptions.
