Abstract

A systemic approach to innovative development, creation, and implementation of efficient mechanisms for innovation policy, sustainable financial sector reform, and ultimately, sustainable, balanced, and harmonious development of countries based on investment innovative models, calls for the creation and implementation of an innovative product to support strategic decision-making based on integrated indices and risks in a triune concept of sustainable ecological, social, and economic development in the global, regional, and national contexts. This chapter seeks to illustrate one approach to the indicated model, using the examples of South East Asia and Oceania, and taking into consideration the risks and opportunities for innovative development in these countries. This research incorporates the Environmental Performance Index (EPI).

“Sustainability risk” will be used interchangeably with “developmental risk”. This definition is in line with the approach used in the finance, risk management, and insurance industries.

CO2 intensity reflects the emission intensity, or the average emission rate of CO2 from a given source relative to the intensity of a specific activity. Carbon intensity of the economy can be observed in two main relationships: energy intensity and carbon intensity of energy use.

Completeness and integrity of environmental information is essential for the efficiency of the decision-making process related to global climate change adaptation and the application of innovative approaches to optimize use of the bio-capacity at a national level. In a modeling process unavailability of EPI information is considered as a penalty.
