In the contemporary era of accelerated artificial intelligence (AI) development, governments are progressively embedding AI technologies within administrative structures and public service delivery systems, thereby influencing green growth through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. This study examines the impact of governmental artificial intelligence, captured by readiness of governments for the adoption of artificial intelligence, alongside key macroeconomic, social, and institutional governance factors, on green growth across European Union countries between 2019 and 2023. Employing a combination of static and dynamic panel econometric techniques (OLS, FGLS, PCSE, LIML-IV, and system GMM), the analysis reveals that governmental deployment of AI exerts a positive effect on green growth within the sample. The empirical results demonstrate that governments’ readiness to systematically deploy AI exerts a positive influence on green growth, thereby supporting the hypothesis that governmental AI capabilities foster sustainable development. The positive coefficient on the lagged green growth, together with the stable significance levels across all model specifications, provides quantitative evidence that governmental AI readiness has a positive and statistically significant effect on green growth. The synergistic interaction among macroeconomic, social, and institutional governance factors provides strong empirical support for the design of robust policies that promote the implementation of AI at the governmental level, coupled with mechanisms to stimulate economic expansion, public investment, and foreign capital inflows.

In this experimental study, the mechanical and adhesion properties of several hydraulic lime mortars incorporating graphene oxide (GO)-based nanomaterials were evaluated. Four different composite mortar samples were prepared by adding different percentages of GO-based powders (functionalized), i.e., 1 wt.% GO, 5 wt.% GO, 5wt.% GO-Ag-GO-Fly ash, and 5 wt.% GO-ZnO-GO-TiO₂ into the reference mortar sample. The mortar specimens were analyzed through mechanical tests, FT-IR, and SEM. The behavior of selected mortars exposed to chemical attacks was also investigated. The results indicate that the addition of the functionalized GO-based powders leads to a significant improvement in the mortar’s adhesion to the brick substrate (up to 80%) compared to the reference sample, especially in the case of the hydraulic lime mortar incorporating the mixture of GO-Ag and GO-Fly ash, which also showed good resistance to chemical attacks.

The paper deals with the environmental costs (EC) in the electrical equipment industry by using environmental accounting as a strategic instrument for controlling the economic entity (EE). The novelty of the study consists of integrating a mathematical model in environmental management accounting (EMA), starting from the identification of the types of waste generated by the production flow and the interaction between the production activity and the environment, which results in determining the EC per entity. The research also analyzes the dependence between the resulting waste and the volume of production by categories. The usefulness of determining these dependencies leads to the identification of the product categories with a significant influence on the EC. The study is useful for developing an environmentally sustainable accounting system within entities in the electrical equipment industry because based on the mathematical model, products that generate large quantities of waste can be identified, allowing the outline of managerial strategies to reviewing production technologies, in order to optimize the products and reduce the quantities of waste generated.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the state of Romania’s sustainable development using statistical indicators (green investments, employment rate, GDP expenditure on research, development, and innovation, greenhouse gas emissions, share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption, early school leavers, tertiary educational attainment, and people at risk of poverty or social exclusion). The method used in this research work is bibliographical and statistical research. The topic of sustainability has experienced a new upswing. Society demands sustainable business from companies and wants transparent information in return. The importance of sustainable action is also reflected in investment decisions: the classic financial key figures are no longer the exclusive reason for an investment. Rather, non-financial indicators are expected to provide further information about the long-term value of a company. In 2014, EU member states adopted a directive to expand the reporting of large capital market-oriented companies, credit institutions, financial services institutions and insurance companies. Since 2017, this Nonfinancial Information (NFI) Directive has been mandatory for capital market-oriented companies in Austria within the framework of the Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG). In concrete terms, this means that capital market-oriented companies must publish a non-financial statement or a separate non-financial report in addition to the management report. The number of companies generating and providing non-financial information to interested users is steadily increasing around the world, while the quality of disclosure of such information is increasing. Year by year, as evidenced by numerous studies and stakeholder surveys. In Romania, green initiatives have resulted in an increase in the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption, a decrease in school dropouts, and an increase in the number of students enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs.

Contemporary emergency systems operate at the intersection of climate volatility, digital interdependence, and cascading institutional disruptions. Despite growing research on resilience, adaptive governance, and digital transformation, these fields remain largely disconnected, leaving a theoretical gap in explaining how emergency systems perform under compound uncertainty. This integrative review synthesizes 32 peer-reviewed articles (post-2020) using structured narrative methodology and VOSviewer bibliometric analysis to map the field’s intellectual architecture and identify its structural gaps. The analysis reveals six thematic clusters organized around resilience as the central construct, yet characterized by three recurring disconnections: the weak integration between digital transformation and governance theory, the operational underdevelopment of polycentric governance frameworks, and the temporal separation between emergency response and climate adaptation. Drawing on this structural diagnosis, the study advances the Complex Adaptive Governance (CAG) model—a three-layer framework encompassing systemic architecture, adaptive mechanisms, and operational resilience—in which digital interoperability functions as a cross-cutting accelerator. The CAG model reconceptualizes resilience as a relational property of governance ecosystems, enhanced by digital interoperability, and offers design principles for climate-resilient emergency systems aligned with SDG 9, SDG 11, SDG 13, and SDG 16.
