The Urban Renewable Energy Transition: Impact Assessment and Transmission Mechanisms of Climate Policy Uncertainty

Energies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(8), P. 2089 - 2089

Published: April 18, 2025

The transition to renewable energy is a critical pathway for achieving low-carbon development and addressing global climate change problems. Therefore, we expand the conventional province-level balance table urban level, providing refined assessment tool evaluating (RET). This study investigates impact of policy uncertainty (CPU) on RET explores underlying mechanisms. findings reveal that CPU significantly inhibits RET, with this effect being particularly pronounced in non-capital inland cities. mechanisms through which hinders include exacerbating capital labor misallocation suppressing industrial structure upgrading. Furthermore, moderation model indicates high-intensity government supervision low public environmental awareness exacerbate negative RET. Our provide governments adopting forward-looking policies mitigate adverse effects transition.

Renewable Energy Solution to Carbon Emissions: BRICS Countries in the Grip of Globalization and Economic Growth

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(9), P. 4117 - 4117

Published: May 2, 2025

The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are responsible for forty-two per cent of global carbon emissions. These rapidly industrializing economically growing dependent on fossil fuels, which can lead to increased This research analyses the impact economic growth, globalization, renewable energy (RE) use CO2 using a unique dataset 155 observations practical model. Using panel data 1990–2020, this study examines relationships between emissions, GDP, RE use, KOF Globalization Index based Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory. Cointegration, unit root test, analysis, FGLS regression methods were used in study. results show that growth globalization increase CO2, while is insufficient reduce these effects. Moreover, it determined has an increasing effect CO2. makes prominent contribution literature by examining combined effects environmental sustainability. findings emphasize need sustainable policies countries.

Research on the Diffusion of Green Energy Technological Innovation from the Perspective of International Cooperation

Energies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(11), P. 2816 - 2816

Published: May 28, 2025

The diffusion of green energy technological innovation based on international cooperation is a critical pathway to achieving global low-carbon emission reductions. However, few studies have considered the pathways technologies under bilateral policy uncertainties. This paper constructs an evolutionary game model for in complex network environment, with focus analyzing impacts key parameters such as spillover effects, heterogeneity, technical leakage risks, and free-riding risks equilibrium outcomes strategies. results study are follows: (1) Technological synergy heterogeneity significant role promoting innovation, but when too high, it difficult two parties find more common interests areas interaction, cooperative will be turned into empty shell that has name no reality. (2) Policy uncertainty impact technology specific depends type policy, intensity, other parameters. (3) risk obsolescence prompted countries deeply participate realize “curved road overtaking” locking latecomer advantages; due existence phenomenon “free-riding”, logic value creation win–win replaced by opportunism “enjoying benefits”, may one-time “handshake agreement”. can turn collaborative “witch hunt” underdog against overdog, process led wrong direction.

The Influence of the National Pilot Zone for Ecological Conservation on the ESG Performance of Heavily Polluting Enterprises: An Empirical Investigation Using the Double-Difference Method

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(11), P. 5074 - 5074

Published: June 1, 2025

Based on sample data from A-share listed heavy polluters 2012 to 2021, this paper adopts the double-difference method explore influence of construction national pilot zone for ecological conservation ESG performance heavily polluting enterprises. Following several robustness tests, study argues that heavy-polluting companies is significantly enhanced by conservation. Specifically, enhances easing financing constraints. The enhancing effect more prominent in terms strengthening social responsibility and optimizing governance structure. Additionally, improving enterprises’ demonstrated effectively enhance their financial performance. facilitating obvious among state-owned enterprises, enterprises with high media attention, established at a late stage, high-quality environmental information disclosure. This offers an empirical foundation government develop policies regarding establishment zones
