This paper aims to analyze the green central banking role in transforming sustainable finance and monetary policy in emerging economies. In particular, it examines changes in the integration of climate risk and opportunity into monetary policy mandates, regulatory approaches, and financial intermediation functions while also evaluating the institutional characteristics that facilitate or hinder these efforts. Methodologically, a PRISMA-based systematic literature review of 85 Scopus-indexed articles was conducted to identify key themes, policy pathways, and emerging debates surrounding green central banking and climate risk management in developing/EM countries within the broader global landscape of sustainable finance. The results indicate five overarching patterns. For starters, central banks seem to be extending their policy mandates well beyond normal price stability to combat climate-induced systemic risks. Second, physical and transition risks are slowly being incorporated into monetary policy, macroprudential regulation, and supervisory norms. Third, green bonds and other sustainable financial instruments continue to expand their role as a programming instrument working by reallocating capital from carbon-intensive investments to environmentally sustainable or low-carbon activities. Fourth, institutional quality, regulatory capacity, and inter-sectoral policy coordination play an instrumental role in promoting green finance initiatives. Fifth, green central banking has significant potential to bolster long-term financial stability while supporting low-carbon transitions. However, its real-world impacts are limited by data availability, uneven institutional readiness, and substantial practical disparities across emerging economies. This paper connects climate risk, sustainable finance, and monetary policy into a common narrative that offers both an academic contribution to the literature and policy implications for central banks and policymakers seeking to enhance climate-responsive financial governance in developing countries. Keywords: green central banking, sustainable finance, climate risk, monetary policy, financial stability.

Abstract: In the contemporary landscape characterized by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), the profession of librarianship is experiencing a noteworthy transformation, thereby necessitating a re-evaluation and re-branding of the role in order to maintain its relevance. Librarians are transitioning from their traditional role as custodians of physical books to emerging as essential stakeholders in the domains of digital literacy, privacy, and information ethics. They currently fulfill the roles of information strategists, data analysts, and educators, demonstrating proficiency in navigating intricate digital environments. Notwithstanding these advancements, public perception frequently remains outdated, perceiving librarians primarily as engaged in rudimentary administrative activities. This stereotype inhibits the recognition of their extensive contributions to society. Re-branding initiatives center on emphasizing the evolving roles of librarians, which encompass the management of comprehensive digital resources and the promotion of critical information literacy within the context of the artificial intelligence era. The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at the University of Lampung (Unila), in conjunction with the Association of Indonesian Political Science Students (ATPUSI), has commenced the implementation of training programs aimed at facilitating the re-branding efforts of the institution. These initiatives aim to enhance the digital competencies of librarians and transform public perceptions by positioning them as crucial facilitators in the process of knowledge dissemination. The results of the training indicate a significant enhancement in participants' comprehension of personal re-branding, thereby suggesting the efficacy of these initiatives in preparing librarians with the requisite skills for a future increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence. Keywords: librarian re-branding, artificial intelligence (AI) era, librarian skill improvement.
