“…When financial inclusion is promoted, small companies can now access credit that was previously inaccessible through conventional financial channels, boosting productivity and quickening development. (Yao et al 2023). Currently, according to various estimates and research, the world is proceeding rather slowly in the process of decarbonization, above all, due to the lack of efficient technologies.…”

In recent times, the green transition, by promoting carbon neutrality, has become highly imperative to meet environmental challenges. The present literature review study seeks to explore the intersecting role of greener innovations in facilitating financial inclusion for a sustainable future. Within the global agenda is the goal of carbon neutrality, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and mitigating climate change. Aim: The present study aims to investigate the role that technological innovations play in the financial inclusion of achieving climate neutrality. Method: Through a systematic literature review, we investigate how new innovations generate new investment opportunities and promote sustainable development. However, fair, accessible, and inclusive financing is crucial. Findings: the analyzed documents in this study shows that technological innovations can play an important role in financial inclusion for carbon neutrality and provide some important policy implications. Indeed, a favorable regulatory environment could generate positive effects already in the short term, with important environmental, economic, and social repercussions.

“…International collaboration in reducing carbon emissions benefits all countries and is not limited to a host country as an effect of climate change and purely global health security (Yellapu et al, 2022). Efforts are ongoing to find solutions to reduce carbon emissions and need more (Yao et al, 2022). The most important step is commitment and performance monitoring of carbon emissions (McAlister et al, 2022b), as tangible results from reducing carbon emissions need a long time, but in the short-term, avoiding damage from warming impacts (Sun et al, 2022).…”

Over 98% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions in 2014 came from carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide. Over one century, CO2 emissions increased from 3.09 to 37.12 billion metric tons. The healthcare sector is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon footprint of a country's healthcare system is influenced by its domestic economy, healthcare expenditure, and energy system. The aim of this study is to present a concise of the present status of carbon emissions within the healthcare sectors on a global scale, as well as the forthcoming endeavors to mitigate these emissions. A narrative review of studies on climate change, carbon emissions, and greenhouse gases in the healthcare sector was conducted using Medline PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases from 2005 to April 2023. According to the data, several countries emit more carbon per capita than others. The Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP26) recently encompassed extensive efforts culminating in releasing initiatives toward zero-carbon healthcare sectors. Efforts in some medical practices, smart technology to save energy, digital health, artificial intelligence technology, and monitoring have contributed to reducing carbon emissions. In conclusion, the healthcare sector with zero carbon emissions must be sustainable, adaptable, and efficient while delivering safe, high-quality care. Addressing the sector's carbon footprint requires innovative strategies, a multisector approach, health professionals' participation, community engagement, and regular monitoring of emissions and performance indicators to ensure patient service quality and low carbon emissions in the healthcare sector.

“…Consumers are increasingly willing to pay (WTP) a premium price for high-quality food products that are produced using responsible farming practices, taking into account health and environmental factors [ 1 , [4] , [5] , [6] ]. The changing climate conditions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have raised public awareness regarding corporate environmental disclosure and commitment to environmental protection, which has become a potential area of focus for businesses [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. In response to GHG emissions and other environmental effects, several environmental policies and initiatives have been launched by governments and international bodies worldwide, including Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the more recent Paris Agreement in 2016, adopted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change [ 7 , [10] , [11] , [12] ].…”
