“…Research assessing individuals’ willingness to pay for offsetting GHG emissions voluntarily is conclusive—their willingness to pay falls significantly short of the actual cost of the externalities. 18 , 19 , 20 Likewise, individuals may support climate actions that have long-term benefits but may be unwilling to bear the full economic consequences of such actions, 21 such as discontinuing support for fossil-energy markets and hedging consumers for volatile fossil-energy prices. As a result, policymakers may feel compelled, for electoral reasons, to implement measures to mitigate the economic impacts of long-term climate policies, which may lead to conflicting policies that undermine the incentives created and perpetuate the status quo .…”

“…The study found that external institutional pressures and internal corporate governance are critical to GF mobilization. Additionally, Zerbib (2019) and Lau et al (2022) agree that GF growth represent a combination of non-pecuniary environmental benefits, as perceived by the investor, as well as a range of monetary and non-monetary benefits associated with GF. Flammer (2021) indicate that companies use GF to credibly signal their commitment toward the environment.…”

Green finance (GF) supports the global fight against climate change and its impacts. It is critical to attaining the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Since GF is regarded as the future of finance and investment, it needs to be fully understood. This paper presents the first mixed-methods systematic review with both bibliometric and qualitative analysis of the state-of-the-art and trends in GF research. A bibliometric review was performed to quantitatively examine the main areas of interest, journals, and clusters of GF research based on 995 related publications retrieved from Scopus and validated with the Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Results showed that GF is still relatively an immature but interdisciplinary research area. A further qualitative-systematic analysis of 60 selected publications was conducted to identify the key findings, challenges, and recommendations for future research. Findings revealed six major research hotspots in GF: (i)

The global surge in research and financial support towards understanding ecosystem services (ES) highlights their integral role in human well-being and agricultural sustainability. This approach aims for enhanced yields, resource efficiency, reduced environmental degradation, and improved landscape connectivity, integrating biophysical, cultural, and economic resources across landscapes. Despite recognizing ES values in policy decision-making, challenges persist due to issues related to value definition, valuation methodologies, and insufficient scientific studies. There are multifaceted dimensions of agroecosystem services, examining their influence and the hurdles in incorporating them into policy decisions. This keynote explores various global models of ecosystem service integration, showcasing their application in market-based policy instruments for fostering sustainable agricultural practices. Additionally, it addresses the need for comprehensive mapping of AES to inform policy formulation and highlights the growing attention towards the sustainability of production and environmental health in agricultural policy discussions.
