Climate Funds and Sustainable Development: Who Pays in the End?

Climate Funds and Sustainable Development: Who Pays in the End? by Gonzalo Larrea
English | PDF (True) | 2024 | 234 Pages | ISBN : 3031502175 | 4.1 MB

​While significant attention has been devoted to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13) and scaling up climate finance for developing countries, the adverse impacts of funded projects on local communities remains inadequately explored by both academics and policymakers. Mobilizing climate finance on an unprecedented scale is undeniably vital for the success of developing countries’ climate policies. However, these initiatives often give rise to adverse consequences for individuals in these countries, leading to displacements, exacerbating food insecurity, or even triggering conflicts over resources.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): How Decentralized Applications (dApps) Disrupt Banking

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): How Decentralized Applications (dApps) Disrupt Banking by Cordelia Friesendorf , Alena Blütener
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 116 Pages | ISBN : 3031374878 | 12.7 MB

This book explores how decentralized finance (DeFi) can disrupt traditional centralized finance including the business areas of insurance companies, banks, money markets, and bonds. DeFi is not a company or a single product, rather it is a collection of products or services. As part of the Ethereum ecosystem, DeFi services are provided as Decentralized Applications (dApps), which require smart contracts to lock in assets for processing transactions. Changing consumer expectations, the availability of affordable technologies, and entrepreneurial drive create space for DeFi. Geopolitical crises and trust deterioration exacerbate the need. This book explains the concept of DeFi, the technological opportunities, the current reality and status quo of business transactions, and demonstrates the potential for future use and the eventual transformation of the financial industry.

In recent decades, the financial markets have experienced various crises, shocks and disruptive events, driving high levels of volatility. This volatility is too strong to be fully justified simply by changes in fundamentals. This volume discusses these highly relevant issues with special focus on asset pricing and behavioral finance. Financial price assets of the 2020s appear to be driven by various attractors in addition to fundamentals, and there is no doubt that investor emotions, market sentiment, the news, and external factors such as uncertainty all play a key role. This has been clearly observed in recent years, especially during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has changed the common perception of the way financial markets work.

Naturkatastrophen und individuelles Verhalten in Entwicklungsländern

Naturkatastrophen und individuelles Verhalten in Entwicklungsländern:Risiko, Vertrauen und die Nachfrage nach Mikroversicherungen by Oliver Fiala
Deutsch | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 219 Pages | ISBN : 3031176537 | 13.3 MB

Diese Studie untersucht den komplexen Zusammenhang zwischen Naturkatastrophen, individuellem Verhalten - in Form von individueller Risikobereitschaft und Vertrauensniveau - und der Nachfrage nach Mikroversicherungen. Entwicklungsländer sind besonders anfällig für die Auswirkungen von Naturkatastrophen und Klimawandel, da diese ihre Entwicklungsprozesse beeinträchtigen und die Bemühungen zur Armutsbekämpfung zurückwerfen. Unter Verwendung eines einzigartigen Datensatzes für das ländliche Kambodscha, der auf einer Umfrage, experimentellen Spielen und einem diskreten Auswahlexperiment basiert, unterstreicht die Studie die Bedeutung von Wahrnehmungen, Erwartungen und psychologischen Faktoren in Entscheidungsprozessen mit erheblichen Folgen für langfristige wirtschaftliche Perspektiven und die Armutsbekämpfung.

Der Autor unterbreitet sodann mit Hilfe der Balanced-Scorecard-Methode einen Vorschlag zur Integration der Nachhaltigkeitskriterien in die Vorstandsvergütung.
