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.

What does energetically favorable mean?
Energetically favorable refers to a process or reaction that releases energy or requires less energy to occur. In other words, it is a thermodynamically favorable process that tends to happen spontaneously. This can be due to a decrease in the overall energy of the system, making it more stable and favorable. Energetically favorable processes are often driven by factors such as entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy.

How can I energetically cleanse my room?
One way to energetically cleanse your room is by burning sage or palo santo and allowing the smoke to waft through the space, focusing on areas that feel heavy or stagnant. You can also use sound vibrations by ringing a bell, playing a singing bowl, or listening to calming music to help shift the energy in the room. Another method is to visualize a bright light filling the room and pushing out any negative or stagnant energy, while setting intentions for the space to be filled with positivity and light.

Why is a tilting iceberg energetically favorable?
A tilting iceberg is energetically favorable because it reduces the surface area of the iceberg that is exposed to the surrounding water. This reduction in surface area decreases the amount of energy required to melt the iceberg, as there is less ice in contact with the warmer water. Additionally, the tilted shape allows for more efficient heat transfer between the iceberg and the water, further aiding in the melting process. Overall, a tilting iceberg is energetically favorable as it helps to accelerate the melting process.
-
Is meat or vegetables more energetically favorable?
Vegetables are more energetically favorable than meat. This is because vegetables require less energy to produce, as they do not need to be fed and raised like animals. Additionally, vegetables are typically lower in calories and fat, making them a more efficient source of energy. From an environmental perspective, a plant-based diet also has a lower carbon footprint and requires less land and water resources compared to meat production.

Sustainability in Art, Fashion and Wine : Critical Perspectives
The art, fashion and wine industries are currently at various stages in their efforts to embrace and transition towards sustainability.While sustainability commitments are a necessary condition for progress, they are not sufficient.Instead, there is a need for sweeping transformative change that includes giving serious consideration to indigenous worldviews without recolonizing them. Sustainability in Art, Fashion and Wine includes findings from recent research and contributes to a new understanding of familiar concepts such as sustainability, (de)colonization and corporate responsibility in the art, fashion and wine industries by adopting critical lenses and incorporating them with innovative perspectives on circular business models and digitalization.It endeavors to present remedies for effectively combating climate change and promoting social good. While discussing specific issues such as sub-contracted labor, safe working conditions, living wages, environmental degradation, mismanaged waste, and more, the book argues that recognizing the significant role western colonization has played – and continues to play – in the developing world in our current conception of capitalism is itself unsustainable.To understand the true meaning of sustainability – to fully recognize the looming deadlines we face in combating the climate crisis and instituting sustainability as a new normal – the acceptance of a new conception of capitalism, one antithetical to colonization and exploitation, is required. Contributors to this book address these issues by applying a critical studies approach to their respective chapters, allowing the book to set out what real sustainability could and should look like in the art, fashion and wine industries.

Digital Technology and Sustainability : Engaging the Paradox
This book brings together diverse voices from across the field of sustainable human computer interaction (SHCI) to discuss what it means for digital technology to support sustainability and how humans and technology can work together optimally for a more sustainable future. Contemporary digital technologies are hailed by tech companies, governments and academics as leading-edge solutions to the challenges of environmental sustainability; smarter homes, more persuasive technologies, and a robust Internet of Things hold the promise for creating a greener world.Yet, deployments of interactive technologies for such purposes often lead to a paradox: they algorithmically "optimize" heating and lighting of houses without regard to the dynamics of daily life in the home; they can collect and display data that allow us to reflect on energy and emissions, yet the same information can cause us to raise our expectations for comfort and convenience; they might allow us to share best practice for sustainable living through social networking and online communities, yet these same systems further our participation in consumerism and contribute to an ever-greater volume of electronic waste.By acknowledging these paradoxes, this book represents a significant critical inquiry into digital technology’s longer-term impact on ideals of sustainability. Written by an interdisciplinary team of contributors this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of human computer interaction and environmental studies.

Why is the noble gas configuration energetically stable?
The noble gas configuration is energetically stable because it represents a full outer electron shell. Atoms with a full outer shell have a lower energy state, making them less likely to react with other atoms to gain or lose electrons. This stability is due to the fact that the full outer shell configuration minimizes the energy required to maintain the atom's structure. As a result, atoms tend to form bonds or undergo reactions in order to achieve a noble gas configuration and increase their stability.
-
Why is the increase in entropy energetically favorable?
The increase in entropy is energetically favorable because it represents a dispersal of energy and an increase in the number of available microstates. When a system's entropy increases, its energy becomes more spread out and distributed among a greater number of possible arrangements, which is thermodynamically favorable. This dispersal of energy allows for more potential work to be done and increases the system's overall stability. Therefore, an increase in entropy is energetically favorable as it leads to a more probable and stable state for the system.
-
Why does a system always strive for the most energetically favorable state?
A system always strives for the most energetically favorable state because it seeks to minimize its energy and maximize its stability. In this state, the system has the lowest possible energy and is therefore more stable and less likely to change. This is a fundamental principle of thermodynamics, which governs the behavior of all systems in the universe. By reaching the most energetically favorable state, a system can achieve a state of equilibrium and minimize its energy expenditure.

What is the difference between energetically favorable and unfavorable states in thermodynamics?
In thermodynamics, energetically favorable states refer to states with lower energy and greater stability, while energetically unfavorable states refer to states with higher energy and lower stability. Energetically favorable states are more likely to occur spontaneously and are associated with the release of energy, while energetically unfavorable states require an input of energy to occur. The concept of energetically favorable and unfavorable states is fundamental to understanding the direction of chemical reactions and the stability of different physical and chemical systems.
