Sustainable finance and investment (SFI) is key to fostering sustainable global development. Research in this field has focused on specific topics, such as the financial performance of sustainable investments and companies committed to sustainability. The SFI literature is excessively fragmented, rendering it difficult to identify what constitutes the field and what differentiates it from traditional finance and investment. Based on a systematic literature review of 166 articles, we map and integrate the main elements of the SFI field and identify the most relevant avenues for further research. In this process, we provide a definition of SFI; identify the main players in the field; and describe their profiles, strategies, and outcomes. We also propose a framework for understanding the SFI field and a research agenda. This agenda organizes the main SFI research questions and suggests suitable approaches to address them. We conclude that SFI players have worked together to promote positive social and environmental impacts through their financial and investment activities. However, the under-theorization of the SFI concept, the traditional short-term nature of financial logic, and the lack of evidence on the SFI impacts on society and the environment are the greatest challenges facing the field.

可持续金融和投资：审查和研究议程

可持续金融和投资 (SFI) 是促进全球可持续发展的关键。该领域的研究侧重于特定主题，例如可持续投资的财务业绩和致力于可持续发展的公司。SFI 文献过于分散，难以确定该领域的构成以及与传统金融和投资的区别。基于对 166 篇文章的系统文献回顾，我们绘制并整合了 SFI 领域的主要元素，并确定了最相关的进一步研究途径。在这个过程中，我们提供了SFI的定义；确定该领域的主要参与者；并描述他们的概况、策略和结果。我们还提出了一个理解 SFI 领域和研究议程的框架。该议程组织了主要的 SFI 研究问题，并提出了解决这些问题的合适方法。我们得出的结论是，SFI 参与者通过他们的金融和投资活动共同努力促进积极的社会和环境影响。然而，SFI概念的理论化不足、金融逻辑的传统短期性质以及SFI对社会和环境影响的证据缺乏是该领域面临的最大挑战。
