This study investigates the impact of climate change on credit portfolios and banking resilience in Pakistan, a developing economy with significant exposure to environmental risks. We employ a stress-testing methodology to evaluate the effects of various climate change scenarios on banking firms, ranging from low to high emissions.

The agricultural sector consumes energy in various forms while simultaneously generating agricultural waste and wastewater, and remaining a major contributor to carbon emissions. In line with the 3R principles—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—circular economy (CE) in agriculture has emerged as a key pathway toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Against the backdrop of the profound adjustment of the global industrial structure and the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the contradiction between rapid economic growth and ecological environmental protection has become increasingly prominent. Promoting green development has become a key path to achieving sustainable urban development.

The purpose of this research is to provide an evaluation of sustainable agricultural development in the Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia), with contextual references to EU sustainability frameworks such as the Green Deal and Common Agricultural Policy.
The integration of Industry 4.0 and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has redefined global supply chain operations, with increasing emphasis on sustainability as a strategic priority. Despite this evolution, there remains a significant gap in the literature regarding the structured prioritization of sustainability-related indicators influenced by digital transformation.
The present paper is the first scientific investigation of the future European farmer profiles. An expert interview combined with sophisticated multi-criteria decision-making techniques were employed as main research tools. Lithuania served as an empirical basis for the research. The dynamics of the development of the share of future European farmer profiles in 2023 and 2040 is assessed. The resilience index for the calculation of the agricultural economic resilience level for the each of the future European farmer profiles is created
To examine the impact mechanisms of urbanization on haze pollution, this study analyzes panel data from 269 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2021. We construct regression models that incorporate technological innovation and human capital accumulation as mediating and threshold variables to examine the influence of urbanization on haze pollution. The results reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between urbanization levels and haze pollution, which initially increases before subsequently decreasing. During urbanization, haze pollution is itigated through technological innovation and human capital accumulation, both serving as partial mediators.
