“…These sector-spanning instruments address the aforementioned threats by enacting laws in multiple sectors that overlap and are intrinsically linked to one another. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the World Heritage Convention, and the Convention on Biological Diversity are all examples of biodiversity frameworks that address coastal blue carbon (Raihan, 2023l).…”

Tropical blue carbon ecosystems encompass several components such as mangroves, seaweed, and seagrass, which play a crucial role in delivering a diverse array of services including regulation, provisioning, cultural, and support functions to a significant human population. The preservation and rehabilitation of tropical marine ecosystems hold significant importance for society due to the adverse consequences associated with their degradation, which include the impairment of crucial services such as coastal protection and the provision of seafood resources. Nonetheless, a significant knowledge deficit persists about the comprehensive capabilities of blue carbon ecosystems in terms of mitigating climate change and delivering socio-economic advantages. Hence, the primary objective of this study is to critically examine the economic significance of ecosystem services rendered by blue carbon habitats, along with the associated obstacles, governance mechanisms, and conservation approaches employed to address climate change mitigation through these ecosystems. The integration of blue carbon ecosystems conservation, protection, and restoration should be prioritized within mitigation and carbon stock conservation plans across local, national, and global scales. This article reviews various forms of governance, such as market-based instruments, public investment, partnership initiatives, and community-based management, that have the potential for future implementation. In a broader context, safeguarding tropical marine habitats is an ecological necessity that warrants recognition as a potential avenue for generating more cash and alleviating national debts across various countries. This review paper presents a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge regarding severely degraded tropical blue carbon ecosystems, with the aim of offering a structured framework that can be utilized by stakeholders to facilitate their efforts in restoring these ecosystems.

“…It is thus reasonable to infer that the digital transformation of firm may also exert some impact on its ESG performance (Alkaraan et al, 2022;Alsayegh et al, 2020;Shimizu, 2020). However, by browsing the existing literature, we find few studies on the relationship between digital transformation and ESG performance (Nirino et al, 2021;Raihan, 2023b). This article investigates such an essential issue to fill the gap in the existing literature.…”

This research empirically investigates the static and dynamic impacts of firms' digital transformation on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance by employing data of listed Chinese companies from 2011 to 2020 via estimations of propensity score matching and difference in differences. First, we find that digital transformation does some good to improve firms' ESG, which is confirmed after conducting several robustness tests. Second, digital transformation benefits the three aspects of ESG (environmental performance, social responsibility, and governance), and its impact is dynamic, promote ESG two years after the digital reform. Third, the impact of digital transformation on ESG is not constant among different firms. Specifically, digital transformation's impact on ESG is stronger among firms located in western or central regions of China and to those in polluting and competitive industries, as well as among non‐stated‐owned enterprises.

“…Given the considerable importance of forest biomass within the future global energy market, this study seeks to provide a concise overview of diverse approaches for converting forest biomass into bioenergy and biofuel. The imperative to decrease the burning of fossil fuels has become increasingly apparent to achieve the global objectives for reducing carbon emissions (Begum et al, 2020;Oyebanji & Kirikkaleli, 2022;Raihan, 2023i). Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that fossil fuel reserves are finite resources, and the reserves of coal, oil, and gas are gradually diminishing as a result of excessive use driven by the rapid global population expansion (Raihan, 2023j;Wang et al, 2023).…”

The use of biomass is vital in reducing the negative effects of rising fossil fuel consumption. Given its quantity and diversity, forest biomass has garnered a lot of interest among the many kinds of biomass. This study evaluates the various strategies for transforming woody waste into usable biofuels. Carbon dioxide emissions from traditional energy generation systems could be mitigated through the direct utilization of forest biomass. Low energy conversion rates, as well as soot emissions and residues, are some of the problems that come up when directly using forest biomass. The sustainability of direct energy generation from forest biomass is also seriously threatened by the lack of constant access to biomass. Co-combustion with coal and pelletizing biomass is two solutions proposed for this issue. Co-combustion of forest biomass with coal has the potential to lower the process's emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfides. This article reviews and discusses the biochemical and thermochemical mechanisms that can transform forest biomass into a variety of liquid and gaseous biofuels. Future research using cutting-edge sustainability assessment tools like life cycle assessment, exergy, etc. should investigate the sustainability of forest biomass conversion processes to bioenergy further.
