Abstract

Climate change and disasters pose growing challenges for businesses and societies. Accounting plays a key role in capturing these risks and advancing fair and sustainable responses. This study investigates how disaster accounting, climate change disclosure, and climate justice are integrated into global accounting practices. The study draws on secondary data from sustainability reports of multinational corporations and international standards such as the GRI, IFRS, and TCFD. Structured content analysis and descriptive statistics were applied to evaluate disclosure patterns across industries and regions. Findings show that climate change accounting is becoming relatively standardized. In contrast, disaster-related reporting is fragmented, and climate justice is largely absent from disclosures. Significant sectoral and regional differences were observed. Energy and manufacturing firms, and corporations in developed regions, reported at higher levels. Firms in developing economies disclosed selectively or minimally. Correlation and regression analyses confirm that industry type and geographical context strongly influence disclosure depth. The results highlight uneven global progress in embedding sustainability into accounting, with climate justice as the weakest dimension despite its importance for vulnerable communities. Harmonization of standards is urgently required to improve comparability, credibility, and equity in reporting. The study recommends that international standard setters integrate disaster accounting and climate justice into unified frameworks, that developing countries receive capacity-building support, and that governments enforce mandatory sustainability disclosures. By framing disasters and climate change through justice, accounting can help build resilience, strengthen accountability, and support sustainable development worldwide

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of remittances (REM), foreign direct investment (FDI), and sovereign debt (DEBT) on economic development (GDP) in Nigeria from 1990 to 2023. The objectives are to examine the long- and short-run impacts of REM, FDI, and DEBT on GDP, determine the direction of causality among these variables, and provide policy recommendations for sustainable economic growth. Descriptive statistics show that remittances averaged 5.41% of GDP, FDI 2.76%, and sovereign debt 35.82%, highlighting varying contributions to economic performance. Stationarity tests confirm mixed integration, validating the use of the ARDL bounds testing approach. The ARDL cointegration test reveals a long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. Long-run ARDL results indicate that a 1% increase in remittances and FDI leads to approximately 0.31% and 0.22% increases in GDP, respectively, while a 1% increase in sovereign debt reduces GDP by about 0.18%. Short-run Error Correction Model results show that remittances and FDI contribute 0.12% and 0.09% to GDP growth per 1% change, respectively, with an ECM coefficient of -0.641, suggesting 64% of disequilibrium is corrected annually. Granger causality analysis confirms unidirectional causality from REM and FDI to GDP. The study concludes that remittances and FDI are significant growth drivers, whereas excessive debt hampers long-term development. Policy recommendations include optimizing remittance utilization, attracting productive FDI, and ensuring prudent debt management.
