- Abstract
Neural networks (NN) are increasingly acknowledged as effective tools for forecasting market trends in sustainable industries, providing the ability to improve decision-making in complex, dynamic environments. This paper provides a review of current research employing NN for forecasting trends in key sustainable fields, specifically energy, finance, and construction. It explores diverse NN architectures, their mathematical underpinnings, and practical applications such as energy demand forecasting, sustainable finance approaches, and construction workflow optimization. Consideration is given to the particular advantages NN offer in handling non-linear patterns and adapting to variable market dynamics. While significant obstacles related to data accessibility and model interpretability persists, the outlook for NNin sustainable industries is encouraging. Advancements in explainable AI (XAI), Green AI initiatives, and real-time adaptive systems bolster this positive outlook. In an era where sustainability is paramount, NN are poised to contribute substantially to innovation and the global transition toward a more sustainable future.
