A systems approach to sustainable finance: Actors, influence mechanisms, and potentially virtuous cycles of sustainability Open
Over the past decade, corporate investors have increasingly recognized that responsible environmental and social practices are essential to long-term financial success. Despite growing interest, corporate practices remain largely unchanged…

Recombination peaks and fast evolution Open
A bstract Genetic recombination can speed up or slow down evolution toward the global optimum. For analyzing mutational trajectories to the optimum it is conventional to study peaks in the fitness landscapes. However, such mutational peaks…

Challenges and opportunities when assessing exposure of financial investments to ecosystem regime shifts Open
Financial investments will be affected by ecological regime shifts through the loss of natural resources underpinning dependencies of most economic sectors. We suggest one possible pathway to link industry and products to the likelihood of…

Going beyond carbon: An "Earth system impact" score to better capture corporate and investment impacts on the earth system Open
Corporations are responsible for a significant portion of observed impacts on the Earth system, including green-house gas (GHG) emissions, but also water extraction, landuse change and other pressures on nature. These nature-related impact…

Irreversible evolution, obstacles in fitness landscapes and persistent drug resistance Open
We use fitness graphs, or directed cube graphs, for analyzing evolutionary reversibility. The main application is antimicrobial drug resistance. Reversible drug resistance has been observed both clinically and experimentally. If drug resis…
