Sustainability, Technology, and Finance : Rethinking How Markets Integrate ESG
This book explores the swiftly emerging nexus between sustainability, finance, and technology. Leading practitioners and academic thought leaders reflect on the ways in which technology and digitalization shape how sustainable finance professionals address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.Together, the contributors identify three spheres in which technology shapes how investors make sense of such issues:ESG and technology: finance professionals need to know about how technological innovations, such as chemical recycling for plastics, in the real economy shape firms’ ESG performance; ESG through technology: technological developments, such as AI and blockchain, can enable finance professionals to offer more fine-grained ESG analyses; andESG as technology: the ESG agenda itself is influenced by technological developments that are not well understood by practitioners (e.g., data mining for Bitcoin creating significant emissions).Using practically relevant examples and recent insights from people working in the field, the book explores the linkages between sustainability, technology, and finance in different contexts and shows how practitioners can accelerate needed change processes.This book primarily addresses practitioners in companies and investment firms as well as students enrolled in executive education and MBA programs.

Are palm trees trees?
Yes, palm trees are considered to be trees. They have a tall, woody trunk and are classified as a type of tree in the plant kingdom. While they may look different from traditional trees with their long, slender trunks and large, fan-shaped leaves, they still share many characteristics of trees such as producing seeds and having a vascular system for transporting water and nutrients.

Can trees cry?
No, trees cannot cry in the same way that humans or animals do. Trees do not have tear ducts or the ability to produce tears. However, trees can release sap or resin in response to injury or stress, which could be seen as a form of "crying" in a metaphorical sense. This sap or resin helps protect the tree from further damage and aids in its healing process.

Can trees talk?
No, trees cannot talk in the way humans or animals do. Trees communicate with each other through chemical signals and underground networks of fungi, known as mycorrhizal networks. These networks allow trees to share nutrients, water, and information with each other. While trees may not talk in the traditional sense, they do have complex ways of communicating and interacting with their environment.

Some Trees
A capsule of the imaginative life of the individual, Some Trees is the 52nd volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Comparing him to T.S. Eliot, Stephanie Burt writes that Ashbery is “the last figure whom half of the English-language poets alive thought a great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible.” After the publication of Some Trees, selecting judge W.H. Auden famously confessed that he didn’t understand a word of it.Most reviews were negative. But in this first book of poems from one of the century’s most important poets, one finds the seeds of Ashbery’s oeuvre, including the influence of French surrealists—many of whom he translated—and abstract expressionism.

Can trees suffer?
While trees do not have a nervous system or the ability to feel pain in the same way that animals do, they can still experience stress and damage. Trees can suffer from environmental stressors such as drought, pollution, and disease, which can impact their growth and overall health. Additionally, trees can also be physically damaged by factors such as storms, pests, and human activities. While their suffering may not be the same as that of animals, it is important to recognize and address the ways in which trees can be negatively impacted by their environment.

Who owns the trees?
The ownership of trees can vary depending on the specific circumstances. In many cases, trees are considered part of the property on which they are located, and therefore are owned by the owner of that property. However, there are situations where trees may be owned by a different entity, such as in the case of public parks or forests. Additionally, there may be legal considerations regarding trees that overhang onto neighboring properties, which can impact ownership rights. Ultimately, the ownership of trees is determined by the specific legal and property rights in a given location.
