Beyond financial returns, investors are increasingly concerned about the impact of enterprises on the environment and society. Enterprises must pay more attention to and manage the negative externalities caused during their operations. Most enterprises now publish annual ESG disclosure reports. However, while the publication of ESG reports has surged, the low reliability of information is widely criticized. Therefore, conducting ESG report assurance is a necessary step to ensure information reliability.

Visualize and interpret the process and the result of the project using Google Earth Engine to compute the data result from different satellite data resources including Sentinel-2, GEDI, and DEM. This study show the potential benefits and challenges of using remote sensing for carbon reduction project monitoring by refining data sources and computation to ensure accurate and reliable evaluations for large-scale carbon emission projects. Green Finance and Sustainable Investments Supervisor: ZHOU Zoey Yiyuan / ENVR Student: LIU Xiaoying / RMBI Course: UROP 3200, Spring This study examines how the issuance and payout activation of sovereign catastrophe bonds (Cat Bonds) influence the performance of government bond markets in countries struck by natural disasters.
