Handbook of Research on Climate Change and the Sustainable Financial Sector
Odunayo Magret Olarewaju
Climate change is a major problem, generating both risks and opportunities that will have a direct impact on the economy and the financial sector. In recent years, climate change has threatened both the survival of the financial system and economic development. The growing occurrence of extreme climate events combined with the imprudent nature of economic growth can cause unsustainable levels of harm to the financial sectors. On the other hand, it presents a range of new business challenges. In contrast to the most evident physical risks, companies are vulnerable to transformational risks that arise from the reaction of society to climate change, such as technological change, regulation and markets that can boost the cost of doing business, threats to the profitability of existing goods, or effects on the value of the asset. Climate change also offers new business opportunities, and it has made research in the context of a sustainable financial sector indispensable. The Handbook of Research on Climate Change and the Sustainable Financial Sector focuses on the impacts of climate change on various sectors of the world economy. This book covers how businesses can improve their sustainability, the impact of climate change on the financial sector, and specifically, the impacts on financial services, supply chains, and the socio-economic status of the world. Beyond focusing on the impacts to the financial industry itself, this book assesses how climate change in the financial sector affects the well-being of society in areas such as unemployment, economic recessions, decreases in consumer purchases, and more. This book is essential for stockbrokers, business managers, directors, fund managers, financial analysts, consultants and actuaries, institutional investors, policymakers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in a comprehensive view of the impact of climate change on the financial sector.

Michael C. Nwogugu
Current issues within industrial organization, mechanism design, political economy, and complex systems in the global accounting/consulting industry and global credit rating agency industry can have massive effects on international trade and international capital flows as these industries are some of the most international of all service industries. One major issue that is often overlooked is that NPLs, LRCs, and CRAs are significantly affected by both business processes and the nature and tenure of human-computer interactions (HCI) of the financial market ecosystem. Therefore, it is important to analyze the theories about business processes and the long-term impact of the use of computers on individuals and groups within the context of corporate strategy and vice versa. Through these theories one can better understand the changes technology has caused in the financial ecosystem and the way business models are shifting and developing to handle these changes. Complex Systems and Sustainability in the Global Auditing, Consulting, and Credit Rating Agency Industries analyzes and develops theories about public policy and "inter-business" processes that are designed and executed within the context of computer networks. It focuses on aspects of complex systems (including networks), mechanism-design, and behavioral game theory and introduces new models and "informal algorithms" that solve social-choice problems. It will also present new business/compensation models for the accounting/auditing, credit rating agency, and business-opportunities industries as well as analyze industry structure, structural changes, and antitrust problems. This book is essential for employees in the industry, financial services, research institutes, consulting firms, and government agencies, along with accountants, financial planners, auditors, consultants, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in industrial mathematics and theoretical computer science.
