As the global energy transition accelerates, clean energy manufacturing has emerged as a strategic priority for achieving climate goals, industrial competitiveness, and environmental justice. This review examines how financial intelligence and economic modeling frameworks are being applied to advance sustainable investments across solar photovoltaics, wind energy, electric vehicle (EVcrip) batteries, and green hydrogen sectors. It explores a range of financial tools—including levelized cost of energy (LCOE), discounted cash flow (DCF), real options analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and ESG-integrated forecasting—and evaluates their effectiveness in aligning profitability with decarbonization and circular economy goals. The study highlights how ESG-linked instruments such as green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and regulatory frameworks (e.g., TCFD, SASB, GRI) are reshaping capital flows and disclosure standards globally. Comparative analysis of policy frameworks in the U.S., EU, China, and emerging economies reveals strengths and challenges in data availability, standardization, and financial innovation. Key research gaps are identified in AI integration, ESG metric interoperability, and long-term impact measurement. This review concludes that advancing clean energy manufacturing requires interdisciplinary approaches that blend finance, data science, and environmental systems thinking. Financial intelligence, when aligned with sustainability and inclusive policy design, offers a critical pathway to a climate-resilient, low-carbon industrial future.

The purpose of this study is to study, analyze and evaluate the situation of clerical documents and archive management in the direction of digital transformation, propose specific measures to contribute to improving the management efficiency and convenience of using the clerical documents and archive management system. To achieve that purpose, this study conducts: Generalizing and systematizing the theoretical basis of clerical documents and archive activities and managing clerical documents and archive activities in the direction of digital transformation; study and research the current situation of document and archive management in the direction of digital transformation, assess the limitations and opportunities in the context of digital transformation; propose measures to apply digital technology in clerical documents and archive management; develop a plan and organize the implementation of one or two specific measures proposed in the project on document and archive management in the direction of digital transformation. Based on the assessment of the current situation, through a survey of 120 people who are managers, lecturers and staff of Tra Vinh University, this study clearly identifies the achievements, limitations, causes, and from there recommends solutions to improve the quality of document and archive management in the direction of digital transformation at Tra Vinh University.

This article explores the application and implementation of Objective Key Results (OKRs) within the unique context of government utilities. Facing increasing pressure for efficiency, accountability, and adaptability, traditional goal-setting methods in the public sector often fall short. OKRs, a framework emphasizing clear objectives and measurable key results, offer a potential solution. This paper reviews the theoretical foundations of OKRs, examines existing literature on their use in the public sector, and analyzes their specific applicability to government utilities, considering the sector’s distinct challenges such as public service mandates, regulatory environments, and bureaucratic structures. A detailed case study of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is presented to illustrate practical application, outcomes, and lessons learned. The analysis synthesizes findings to discuss the implications of OKR adoption for performance improvement, enhanced collaboration, and increased efficiency in government utilities. The article concludes with recommendations for utilities considering OKR implementation and identifies areas for future research.
