This study explores the transformative integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into sustainable finance, highlighting its potential to redefine financial practices in alignment with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. Through a systematic review current an analysis AI's applications, challenges, strategic frameworks, research elucidates role enhancing operations' efficiency, accuracy, sustainability. Findings indicate that AI technologies, such as Financial Maximally Filtered Graph (FMFG) algorithm, significantly improve processing vast datasets, facilitating investment decisions. However, finance is accompanied by ethical, regulatory, technological challenges. The proposes recommendations for overcoming these barriers, emphasizing development robust policy industry best practices, balanced approach integration. conclusion underscores promise advancing offering insights stakeholders on navigating complexities this achieve more resilient system.

This paper uses an expert-based methodology to survey the barriers and strategies related implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS). The ambition is offer a bird's eye overview difficulties encountered by NBS deployment ways overcome them. With wide participation 80 experts from COST Action Circular City, we identify specific 35 pre-defined following four categories: Vertical Greening Systems Green Roofs; Food Biomass Production; Rainwater Management; Remediation, Treatment, Recovery. research sheds light on how major interdisciplinary - yet predominantly technically-oriented community scientists practitioners views this important topic. Overall, most relevant are technological complexity, lack skilled staff training programs awareness that option. Our results highlight concerns post issues, especially operation maintenance, which subsequently affect social acceptance. identifies "chain" effect across barriers, meaning one barrier can existence or relevance other barriers.

Brazil, a crucial player in global climate change mitigation, faces challenges reducing its carbon emissions, of which nearly half are from land use changes. Despite potential reductions that can be achieved through halting deforestation and fostering forest restoration, setbacks environmental governance have heightened emissions. This article assesses proposes solutions for conserving restoring Brazilian biomes line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Paris Agreement by 2030. Notably, net emissions land-use forestry increased twofold 2017 to 2022 due Amazon Cerrado. Native vegetation clearing peaked at 2.8 Mha 2022, largest area since 2008. The deficit native within Legal Reserves Permanent Protection Areas must addressed restoration. Achieving SDGs 2030 demands urgent action against illegal deforestation, reinforced legislation secondary protection, large-scale restoration programs, economic incentives conservation payment ecosystem services rural landowners.

Abstract This paper highlights the need to consider processes and relations in political, knowledge, technical socio-material complex that underpins emergence of a soil-based carbon economy. economy, characterised by proliferation voluntary markets, farming policies, supply chain other initiatives, operates through private mechanisms (offsetting, insetting) public policy instruments. emerging economy entails number inherent political knowledge contestations associated with claims around mitigation potential soil sequestration farming. We adapt social ecological systems (SES) framework understand these draw on corpus agricultural, ecological, science literatures identify pose critical questions for future research. conceptualise as interactions outcomes among actors embedded within defined SES (governance, resource systems, units, actors). Five themes are identified: Marketisation, abstraction technogovernance; Power expert knowledge; Disputing meaning value carbon; Disruptions: new interfaces, configurations actor relations; Uncertainties capabilities. These underpin research agenda proposal. argue an integrative conceptualisation is essential equitably account broad mix social, technical, economic, contexts which present options operationalising conceptualisation.

The potential of urban nature-based solutions (NBS) to provide significant benefits citizens and address societal challenges is undervalued, yet the valuation NBS impacts remains contentious. Further development monetary non-monetary costs required, effective knowledge exchange on these themes required at international level. However, an important gap in research relates uptake application existing techniques for valuation. This explored how values are assessed, viewed by city government authorities particular. Results presented from a review peer-reviewed articles reporting application. Over 200 relating specifically interventions were reviewed. literature indicates that many have been researched, but most studies tend just few indicators impacts, which mainly physical-environmental their focus. To generate deeper insights into perceptions valuations impact assessments application, focus groups semi-structured interviews conducted with local regional staff seven cities Latin America Europe.

The implementation of nature-based solutions (NBSs) for coastal adaptation to climate change is limited by a well-documented lack finance. Scholars agree that financial innovation represents solution this problem, particularly due its potential mobilising private investments. It remains unclear however how exactly innovative address the specific barriers found in NBS and, given distinctive local characteristics NBSs, what extent successful innovations can be replicated other locations. This study addresses issue reviewing literature and case studies currently implemented projects, highlighting which these arrangements contextual conditions affect their applicability. We find there no “low-hanging fruit” upscaling finance NBSs through innovation. Innovative are nevertheless expected become more accessible with increase project sizes, increased availability data on performance, establishment supportive policy frameworks. flow into projects further enhanced external support both public (de-risking regulation) actors (financial expertise).
