Smart Solutions for Sustainable Economics and Finance

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Risk and Financial Management is pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on "Smart Solutions for Sustainable Economics and Finance". This Special Issue is dedicated to the 18th International Conference on Business Excellence (https://bizexcellence.ro/icbe-conference/). In an era marked by increasing global challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, and socioeconomic inequalities, the need for intelligent and sustainable solutions in the realm of economics and finance has never been more critical. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that explores innovative approaches, technologies, and strategies to promote sustainability within economic and financial systems.

We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to contribute original and high-quality papers that address various aspects of smart solutions in the context of sustainable economics and finance. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, green finance, sustainable investment practices, fintech applications for sustainability, risk management in sustainable finance, and the role of digitalization in fostering environmentally and socially responsible economic activities. We welcome interdisciplinary perspectives that integrate insights from finance, economics, environmental science, technology, and policy studies to provide comprehensive and forward-looking contributions.

This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for fostering a deeper understanding of the interplay between smart solutions, sustainable practices, and financial decision-making. By advancing knowledge in this field, we aspire to contribute to the development of policies and practices that support the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient global economy.
