This book offers a pioneering exploration of the financial, operational, and societal impacts stemming from biodiversity loss and associated ecosystem collapse. In addition, it examines possible venues through which corporations, financial institutions, and regulators can slow down or halt biodiversity loss. The book stands out for its comprehensive coverage, delving into the various facets of biodiversity loss, including its effects across industries, risk assessment strategies, investment opportunities, policy landscapes, corporate responses, and future outlooks. Unlike prior publications in this area, this book bridges theory and practice by grounding its content in real-world examples and case studies, illustrating how biodiversity loss directly affects industries, economies, and financial systems globally.Structured strategically, this edited collection guides readers through a logical progression of topics, starting from understanding the fundamentals of biodiversity loss to exploring its implications in different sectors, assessing risks, identifying investment opportunities, navigating policy landscapes, and learning from successful case studies. Each chapter incorporates clear explanations, illustrative examples, data-driven analyses, and actionable recommendations, making the content accessible and relevant to a diverse audience including students, educators, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and concerned citizens.

This book explores the financial and regulatory dimensions shaping the electrification of society, an essential step towards global sustainable development. It critically examines the interplay between traditional financial metrics and the pressing need for substantial investments in green infrastructure, a requirement for achieving the ambitious targets set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The book addresses the central question of how to mobilize the financial sector and raise the necessary capital to finance the large initial costs associated with long-term investments in environmental sustainability and economic resilience. It explores how the government can encourage investments into a green energy transition and offers a look at both financial and social returns provided by sustainable energy investments into, e.g. energy-autonomous building or community projects or automated electric vehicle refueling stations.With an assembly of scholarly contributions from diverse regions of the world, integrating a multitude of perspectives on the challenges and opportunities inherent in the electrification process, this book is of interest to sustainable finance scholars, practitioners, and regulators.

Cities are engines of economic growth and innovation. To sustain growth in urban agglomerations, local governments need strategies to address disruptions caused by climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequity. Machine learning (ML) offers a powerful way for city planners to manage, predict, and mitigate these complex challenges. While urban planning has traditionally relied on techniques based on historical data and deterministic models, the dynamic and interconnected nature of contemporary challenges demands more sophisticated and AI-augmented approaches. ML algorithms today can ingest large-scale, multisource data to generate real-time predictions and identify vulnerabilities across infrastructure, mobility, and social systems.This book examines how ML supports sustainable smart cities—cities prepared to address multiple challenges while prioritizing resident quality of life by maintaining the capacity to thrive economically and socially. It explores ways to use ML to enable smarter infrastructure and building design, from system-level networks to specific applications in construction and operations. Chapters demonstrate how ML optimizes urban mobility through improved public transportation, fleet management, and urban flow prediction. The book also examines ML applications in urban resilience, including flood risk management, air quality monitoring, and disaster response systems. Additionally, it explores innovative applications in social sustainability, such as affective computing for community well-being and equity-focused planning tools.Featuring contributions from leading experts in architecture, urban planning, engineering, computer science, and sustainability, the book showcases real-world case studies of successful ML applications in cities worldwide. The resulting volume bridges theoretical developments with practical implementations, offering technical depth and actionable insights for creating sustainable urban futures.
