Congratulating Prof. Aneja for editing this academically and policy-relevant volume, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Tankeshwar Kumar remarked that the book has been published at a crucial time when financial digitalisation and sustainability imperatives are reshaping global economic governance.

He emphasised that the book goes beyond conventional discussions on digital currencies by placing them within the broader framework of environmental sustainability, inclusive growth, and global development goals. Such research-oriented publications, he added, strengthen the international academic reputation of the Central University of Haryana.
On the occasion, Prof. Ranjan Aneja expressed his gratitude to the Vice-Chancellor and the university administration for their continuous encouragement and support. He stated that the primary objective of the book is to bridge the growing gap between financial innovation and sustainability discourse.

Published under the Springer Nature group, the book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of the emerging relationship between digital currencies, green economy frameworks, and sustainable development goals.

Prof. Aneja further noted that the volume attempts to offer policy-relevant insights from the perspective of emerging and developing economies, including India, and aims to stimulate meaningful academic and policy dialogue on the role of digital monetary systems in achieving the United Nations Agenda 2030 targets.

Co-edited by Prof. Ranjan Aneja and Dr. Robert Dygas of SGH Warsaw School of Economics, the book critically examines key themes such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and monetary policy challenges, digital finance and financial inclusion, environmental implications of blockchain and crypto technologies, digital currencies as instruments of green finance, regulatory and governance concerns, and empirical regional case studies relevant to developing economies.

The book offers a balanced synthesis of economic theory, empirical evidence, and policy perspectives, making it a valuable resource for academicians, policymakers, central banks, and development institutions.
