Rui Alexandre Castanho

Environmental degradation and social inequities pose significant challenges in today's world, demanding urgent action. The disconnect between human activities and ecosystem health has led to biodiversity loss, climate change, and socio-economic disparities.

ESG and Ecosystem Services for Sustainability offers a compelling solution by bridging the gap between theory and practice, guiding stakeholders towards sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet. This groundbreaking book explores the scientific foundations of ecosystem services, illustrating their critical role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating climate, and enhancing resilience. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of ESG principles and ecosystem health provides a framework for understanding the impact of human actions on the environment. Through real-world case studies and practical insights, the book demonstrates how integrating ESG considerations into governance and business practices can lead to more sustainable outcomes. It serves as a roadmap for policymakers, business leaders, and academics, offering actionable strategies for fostering ethical governance and responsible decision-making.
