Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change mitigation and adaptation remains among the world’s top current priorities. Moreover, the important challenges that the impacts of climate change and the adaptation requirements present for world economies are exacerbated by the severe economic slowdown brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas (GHG), which is a major contibutor to the effects of global warming, and which is associated with climate change. To further advance and disseminate high-quality research related to Climate change and Sustainable Economic Growth, this Special Issue (SI), entitled: “CO2 Emissions and Sustainable Development”, has been proposed for the international journal Energies, which is an SCIE journal (2019 IF = 2.702, CiteScore: 3.8).

The scope of this SI allows for original contributions with a local, national or global focus, reflecting the latest research and developments in both the theoretical and practical aspects of climate change and its impact across world economies. This could include studies focussing on, but not limited to: the green economy; sustainable economic growth; disruptive green innovation and also the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; economic slowdowns; and the post-pandemic recovery and renewing of perspectives in relation to climate change and GHG emissions. This SI aims to provide a forum for the publication of the highest quality manuscripts, which employ economic analyses of environmental problems, using a range of appropriate and rigorously applied methods, such as surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, optimization models, and analytical models etc.

The following list of topics is aimed to function as a suggestion of subject areas that are within the scope of this SI. However, please note that this list is not comprehensive, we are more than happy to consider additional topics, if appropriate.

  • Climate change and sustainable development;
  • The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
  • Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) applications;
  • The Paris Agreement and its effects;
  • Climate related financial disclosures;
  • Climate metrics and models;
  • Sustainable investing;
  • Sustainability reporting;
  • GHG/CO2 by economic sector and its relationship to economic growth;
  • The link between CO2 emissions, green innovation and economic performance;
  • Disruptive green innovation;
  • EU Climate Policy beyond 2020;
  • The characteristics and requirements of a sustainable energy system;
  • The role of climate-related financial disclosures and its impact on firm performance;
  • Government regulation of climate related corporate disclosure.

I wish to take this opportunity to invite you to submit your original work to this Special Issue. I am very much looking forward to receiving your contributions.

A New Climate Change Analysis Parameter: A Global or a National Approach Dilemma

Climate change is an issue nowadays present in almost all of the media daily, but information can be manipulated very easily. It is a fact that, in the last decades, greenhouse gas emissions have multiplied, and to tackle climate change efficiently, it is necessary to analyze their origin and their relationship with regards to countries, population, production, etc. When analyzing a country’s emissions, not only the total emissions, but also the emissions in relation to its population, production, etc., should be considered. In this paper, a new parameter (CE2N) that merges total emissions, and emissions per capita and per GDP is proposed and applied, obtaining, for the first time, a unified and universal parameter that considers the emission efficiency and total emissions at the same time and can be used in all countries. We validated this new parameter with its implementation in previous environmental models, and the results obtained showed that CE2N would help to increase the transparency and objectivity of these models, giving more weight to emission efficiency, rather than other, more subjective criteria previously used. In addition, CE2N could be implemented in future international agreements, being beneficial not only for the scientific community, but also for policymakers. Full article

On the Impact of GDP per Capita, Carbon Intensity and Innovation for Renewable Energy Consumption: Worldwide Evidence

The mitigation of climate change through ambitious greenhouse gases emission reduction targets constitutes a current priority at world level, reflected in international, regional and national agendas. Within the common framework for global climate action, an increased reliance on renewable energy sources, which would assist countries to reduce energy imports and cut fossil fuel use, emerged as the solution towards achieving worldwide energy security and sustainability through carbon-neutrality. As such, this study is aimed to investigate the heterogeneous effects of relevant economic and environmental driving factors for renewable energy consumption (REC) that emerge from current policy objectives (GDP per capita, carbon intensity, and research and development) through an empirical analysis of a wide panel of 94 countries, and five income-based subpanels, over the 1995–2019 period, by using heterogeneous panel data fixed-effects estimation techniques (static and dynamic) with robust Driscoll–Kraay standard errors. The results unambiguously indicate that CO2 intensity has a significant mitigating effect on REC at world level, and this relationship is stronger for low-income and very high-income countries. Moreover, GDP per capita promotes REC when it surpasses the 5000 USD threshold, whereas research and development is a major contributor to increase in renewable energy consumption in very high-income countries. As such, for the policy makers, it is necessary to consider the heterogeneity of the drivers of REC in order to issue effective and congruent policies. The effective employment of post-COVID-19 recovery funds constitutes a timely, ideal occasion. Full article

The aim of our study was to analyze whether the increase in the use of renewable energy can help GDP growth. The research carried out shows that renewable energy has the ability to decrease or neutralize the negative impact of greenhouse gases (GHG), but also to maintain economic growth. We focused our analysis on the EU-28 as we know that the EU Commission’s aim, in the near future, is to join forces to reduce the GHG used and move to renewable sources. We used a panel analysis with data between 2000 and 2019 from all Member States, and our results showed that their economic growth is influenced positively by the production of renewable energy, the GHG per capita, and the GHG intensity per GDP.
