Green Bonds In Emerging Economies

Critical Insights For Uganda's Transition To Climate Finance

As global environmental, social, and economic challenges demand bold decisions, this volume brings together the latest research on alternative methods for fostering sustainable development. Traditional economic and financial systems often fall short in addressing issues such as climate change, social inequalities, and resource depletion. This volume serves as an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking new methods of financing and resource management to enable a more sustainable future. It covers a wide range of topics, from alternative financing sources to groundbreaking technological innovations, analysing their impact on the global economy and society. Alternative financing models such as crowdfunding, asset tokenisation, and fintech solutions provide answers to the limitations of traditional banking institutions, democratising access to capital. Simultaneously, technological innovations like artificial intelligence, big data, and space-based solutions open new possibilities for environmental monitoring and optimisation. Contemporary Studies in Economic and Financial Analysis publishes a series of current and relevant themed volumes within the fields of economics and finance. Both disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies are welcome.

Innovative Strategies and Transformative Actions for a Greener Future

Bold Alternative Solutions for a Sustainable World

A blueprint for how we can collectively build a thriving world, from a leading behavioural scientistEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to at least one in four deaths worldwide. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on the evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is an inspiring blueprint for how together, citizens and governments can push back against corporate power and build a better, brighter future.

When Economic and Climate Goals Collide

The Green Squeeze

A grounded guide to thinking bigger with AI-and putting both human and machine intelligence to work across business and everyday life In The Intelligence Leap: How Humans + AI will Solve Problems, Reimagine Business, and Improve Lives, Gopi Kallayil, the Global AI Business Strategist and Leader at Google, argues that AI is the most profound invention in human history-for one specific reason. Nearly every major tool before it extended our physical capabilities. AI amplifies our cognitive abilities, which represents a leap in human intelligence. It doesn't replace our natural intelligence; it complements it, so that a single person can now harness the thinking power of an entire team. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world's top executives, Kallayil turns that shift into something any leader can actually use. He starts by demystifying AI in plain English-how it works, and what it's genuinely good at versus what it isn't. From there he makes his central case: the biggest breakthroughs won't come from working faster, but from non-linear thinkers who reimagine the problem entirely, the way Uber's founders stitched together maps, GPS, and idle cars into something the taxi and car rental industries never saw coming. AI doesn't hand out big ideas, but it supercharges the people who have them-empowering them to chase even bolder ones and build disruptions that dwarf what we've seen so far. The rest of the book brings all of this down to earth. Kallayil looks at business through four lenses-consumer behavior, marketing, service delivery, and operations-and gives readers practical frameworks alongside case studies from hospitality, retail, financial services, healthcare, and transportation. Throughout, his message stays consistent: this is a moment of extraordinary opportunity, and it belongs to whoever has the best idea and can act on it first. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>A jargon-free explanation of how AI actually works-what it's uniquely good at, and where it still falls short</li> <li>Why non-linear thinking, not raw effort or technical expertise, produces real breakthroughs-and how AI helps those thinkers reach solutions no one else has found</li> <li>The four conditions that spark non-linear thinking inside any organization</li> <li>Case studies from six industries-hospitality, transportation, retail, financial services, auto, and healthcare-showing the same transformation play out in strikingly different ways</li> <li>A grounded, optimistic take on AI's real risks-and the guardrails that let you move fast without getting burned</li> </ul> Ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone trying to understand where they fit in an AI-powered world, The Intelligence Leap offers a grounded way to combine human and artificial intelligence-to solve problems, transform organizations, and create lasting value.

"Writing in the tradition of Bookchin and Graeber, Julio Linares shows that when placed in the perspective of world history and anthropology, current attempts to reimagine money-from MMT to Bitcoin-are actually not terribly imaginative"&nbsp;David Wengrow, co-author of&nbsp;The Dawn of Everything

"In this provocative book, Julio Linares explores the project of abolishing US dollar hegemony to decolonize money and create a real economic democracy by putting the power of money into people's hands"&nbsp;L. Randall Wray, author of Money for Beginners

To change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state to harness money's power. Decolonizing Money presents an anarchist theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital.

Drawing on anarchist, abolitionist and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself - and he challenges us to make them otherwise.

Julio Cèsar Linares is an economic anthropologist and community organizer. At the London School of Economics he was a student and collaborator of the late David Graeber. He serves as Public Outreach for the Basic Income Earth Network.

The Promise of Abolishing the US Dollar

Decolonizing Money

The global market in money – housed in the offshore ‘shadow’ banking system – holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation’s taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world’s savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of glo­balized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpre­dictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and gov­ernments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse.

How Wall Street Gambles with People and the Planet

The Global Casino

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.

Greening African Economic Development

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

The extraordinary story of the financial promise that helped build the modern world. Wars have been financed with it. Railroads, canals, cities, and industries have risen because of it. Governments have survived through it and entire financial systems have trembled when confidence in it disappeared. For centuries, the bond has been far more than an investment. It has been one of civilization's most powerful tools: a promise to repay that allowed governments to borrow against the future, investors to trade claims on distant revenues, and societies to mobilize enormous amounts of capital long before the money itself existed. In A Fabulous Debt, Graham T. Valecourt traces the remarkable history of bonds and public credit from the earliest experiments in government borrowing to the vast fixed-income markets that underpin today's global economy. Journey from the financial innovations of medieval Italian cities and the Dutch Republic to Britain's rise as a credit-powered global power. Follow Alexander Hamilton's battle to establish American public credit, the bonds that financed canals and railroads, the borrowing behind two world wars, and the transformation of debt into one of Wall Street's most sophisticated businesses. Then enter the modern era: inflation and the Volcker shock, junk bonds and financial engineering, mortgage securitization, the 2008 financial crisis, years of near-zero interest rates, the pandemic borrowing explosion, and the difficult question now confronting heavily indebted governments around the world: How much can the future be asked to pay for the present? Along the way, discover: &gt;- How borrowing helped nations finance wars, infrastructure, and economic expansion - Why bond prices and interest rates reveal what markets believe about the future - How inflation can quietly transfer wealth between borrowers and lenders - Why leverage, liquidity, and refinancing can turn ordinary debt into a financial crisis - How mortgages were transformed into securities before the crash of 2008 - Why today's enormous public debts matter-and why the headline number alone never tells the whole story Accessible to readers without a finance background yet substantial enough for investors, economics readers, and history enthusiasts, A Fabulous Debt reveals how borrowing became an institution, how trust became financial infrastructure, and how a simple promise to repay helped transform the world. To understand modern money, markets, governments, and financial crises, you first have to understand the extraordinary history of debt.

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

Le Maroc des générations Comment mesurer le développement d'un pays ? Par ses infrastructures, sa croissance et ses investissements, sans doute. Mais aussi, et surtout, par la qualité de vie de ses citoyens, la dignité de leur travail et les possibilités offertes à leurs enfants. Dans Le Maroc des générations, Khalid LAAOULA raconte le Maroc réel et le Maroc possible à travers des portraits de femmes et d'hommes engagés dans les douze régions du Royaume. Enseignants, soignants, agriculteurs, artisans, techniciens, chercheurs, jeunes diplômés, femmes entrepreneures et Marocains du monde donnent un visage humain aux transformations du pays. Leurs réussites montrent qu'une école peut redonner confiance, qu'un savoir-faire ancien peut rencontrer la création contemporaine, qu'une innovation peut répondre à un besoin local et qu'un projet porté par une femme peut renforcer toute une communauté. Leurs difficultés révèlent aussi les distances qui restent à parcourir: accès inégal aux soins et à l'éducation, rareté de l'eau, précarité du travail, concentration des possibilités et déséquilibres entre les territoires. Chaque chapitre part d'une réussite locale, examine un défi humain concret, puis propose une orientation pour l'avenir. École de proximité, santé territoriale, gestion solidaire de l'eau, transmission culturelle, industrie digne, réseau d'innovation, égalité économique, mobilisation de la diaspora et participation citoyenne dessinent les contours d'un projet commun. Ce livre ne prétend pas offrir des réponses définitives. Il invite à regarder le pays avec lucidité, à reconnaître ses forces et à transformer ses difficultés en projets. Car le Maroc de demain ne sera pleinement développé que lorsque chaque territoire comptera, que chaque citoyen pourra participer et que chaque génération recevra davantage de possibilités que la précédente.
