This study delves into the intriguing concept of the Butterfly Effect and its implications for resilience in complex socio-ecological systems. Drawing upon chaos theory, the Butterfly Effect posits that minute initial changes can yield substantial and unforeseen outcomes in dynamic systems. The research investigates how the Butterfly Effect influences the resilience of intricate systems, such as urban ecosystems, global supply chains, and social networks, when confronted with environmental, economic, or social disruptions. By scrutinizing case studies and employing mathematical modeling, this study seeks to unveil the nonlinear dynamics, tipping points, and feedback loops that amplify or mitigate the effects of minor perturbations in complex systems. Moreover, it explores how comprehending the Butterfly Effect can inform strategies for augmenting the resilience of socio-ecological systems, including adaptive management, scenario planning, and community engagement. The study also explores the ethical and governance considerations arising from the unpredictability and interconnectedness inherent in complex systems. It highlights the need for inclusive decision-making processes that account for diverse perspectives and values. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of adaptive governance approaches that allow for flexible responses to changing circumstances and evolving knowledge. By delving into the Butterfly Effect and its implications, this research endeavors to contribute to the development of strategies and policies that foster resilience in the face of uncertainty and promote sustainable development in complex socio-ecological systems. It recognizes the need for integrated approaches that consider the interdependencies and feedbacks between social, economic, and environmental dimensions. Ultimately, this study underscores the significance of understanding the Butterfly Effect as a lens through which to view and manage complex systems. By acknowledging the potential for cascading effects from minor changes, decision-makers and practitioners can adopt proactive measures to enhance system resilience. This research calls for further exploration of the Butterfly Effect across different scales and contexts to better grasp its implications and potential applications. In conclusion, the Butterfly Effect serves as a powerful concept for understanding the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by shedding light on its implications for resilience and providing guidance for decision-making and policy development in an uncertain and interconnected world.
This study proposes a novel method for valuing environmental assets and estimating Green GDP using Laplace series and partial integration. The method is based on the concept of environmental valuation and aims to provide a more accurate and comprehensive measure of economic growth that takes into account the value of natural resources and ecosystem services. The study begins by providing an overview of the key concepts and methods related to Laplace series and partial integration. It then explains the steps involved in applying the method to estimate Green GDP and presents the results obtained through the application of the proposed method. A comparison with existing methods is also provided, followed by a summary of the key findings and their implications for policy-making and investment decisions. The study concludes with suggestions for future research to further explore the potential of the proposed method and its impact on sustainable development. Overall, the study contributes to the existing literature on environmental valuation and provides a valuable tool for policymakers and investors to make more informed decisions that promote sustainable and equitable development.

The study examined the impact of inclusive financing on Nigeria's economic growth between 2001 and 2021. Financial inclusion helps to decrease poverty and the enhancement of living conditions, making it an important indicator of economic growth in emerging nations. The unit root test result and Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test (ADF) revealed that the series becomes stationary after the first difference, making it suitable for additional Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression model was employed, cointegration test with Johansen's formula, Cointegration and causality tests were conducted using the Granger causality techniques. According to Johansen's cointegration, the series exhibit cointegration. This indicates the presence of a lasting connection between economic growth and financial inclusion. Using Granger causality tests, it was discovered that the indices of financial inclusion and Nigeria economic growth had a statistically significant causal relationship. This further provides the suggestion that financial inclusion significantly contributes to the economic growth of Nigeria. In addition, financial inclusion has a significant relationship with economic growth. The coefficient of determination (R-squared = 0.6962) implies that the indices of financial inclusion can account for almost 69.6 per cent of the variance in economic growth. It has been demonstrated that financial inclusion contributes favorably to economic growth and national development in Nigeria. The results also revealed that the Number of Deposit Money Banks Branches (NDMBB) coefficient (= -0.683), for every thousand increases in NDMBB, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth will decrease by 0.683, which is consistent with the actual situation on ground. The result of the study supports the hypothesis that monetary policy would be more effective if it promote more financial inclusion. The study therefore recommends that to achieve the desired level of money supply, the monetary authorities must implement policies to ensure that a substantial proportion of the money supply is made up of the currency in circulation. This will reduce the quantity of money held outside of banks. For economic growth to continue, rural bank branches should be encouraged to make loans to private businesses and small-and medium-sized enterprises.
