Issue Date: | 2025 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | Accounting and finance, | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | Many initiatives worldwide aim to improve financial knowledge through training programmes at different levels of education. In this context, it is worth highlighting that sustainable finance knowledge should receive attention in line with the global challenges (climate change, social and economic inequalities, etc.) society is facing. Implementing (short) training programmes in educational curricula may be an effective way to improve students' knowledge and practical skills. The aim of this paper is to analyse the efficacy of short sustainable finance training programmes in fostering sustainable financial awareness and attitudes among university students. This research focuses on how these programmes influence participants' understanding of sustainability, interest in financial matters, and decision-making competencies. Our results, based on validated questionnaires carried out by students from different universities, reveal that short training programmes positively influence knowledge of and interest in sustainable financial matters. | Notes: | González-Velasco, C (corresponding author), Univ Leon, Leon, Spain. mcgonv@unileon.es |
