Abstract

The proposed paper understands climate finance as morally framing an economic and policy-making mechanism, instead of viewing it as an economic and policy-making mechanism, the paper presents climate finance as a moral infrastructure a normative system that codifies cultural values, redistributes ecological responsibility between generations, and justifies capital allocation by ethical claims of justice. Based on environmental ethics, sustainable finance theory, and intergenerational justice approaches, the paper proposes that climate finance tools (green bonds, ESG-linked capital, climate adaptation funds, carbon markets) are never neutral financial instruments, but value-laden cultural architectures that can be used to operationalise moral responsibilities in terms of pricing, investment narratives and institutional design. Cultural belief systems influence the ways societies define climate damage, economic duty, and responsibility in the future, as well as, preference to pay in mitigation, promotion of transition capital, and resisting high-risk extractive funding. The article entrenches the concept of intergenerational justice as a quantifiable moral agreement in climate capital that present inability to finance it is due to the lack of alignment between capital velocity and moral responsibility. It plots moral finance stress in three dimensions: (1) the cultural legitimacy of climate capital, (2) generational ecological debt distributions, and (3) the moral sustainability of sustainable investment discourses. The study employs a conceptual, normative research approach of secondary insight based on literature-based ethical validation, moral-economic logic structuring and policy-ethics mapping over equation-intensive modelling. The paper is a contribution to a new finance-ethics interface, suggesting that climate finance needs to be analysed not just in terms of returns, but in terms of moral carrying capacity its capacity to entrench justice without disrupting social equity, ecological integrity or future access to capital.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
