Abstract Clean cooking fuels and technologies are crucial for tackling environmental degradation, climate change, deforestation, health issues, air pollution, poverty. However, many African countries, including Nigeria, continue to face significant challenges in accessing these resources. Existing research provides limited insights into the factors influencing adoption of clean technologies, particularly when analyzed through macroeconomic indicators from 2000 2022. Due nature data, nonlinear techniques were employed uncover associations. Specifically, innovative Wavelet Kernel Regularized Least Squares method was applied examine impact financial development, renewable energy consumption, information communication technology (ICT), political risk on access (ACE). Additionally, wavelet quantile cointegration introduced assess relationships among variables. The results reveal that economic growth has a minimal ACE short term but becomes more over time. ICT positively influences medium long term, while development tends reduce ACE. Renewable consumption promotes ACE, whereas impedes it term. improvements stability significantly enhance run. These findings form basis policy recommendations proposed study.

The Impact of ESG‐Related, Financial, and Geopolitical Uncertainties on the Renewable Energy Transition in the United States

Business Strategy and the Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: June 2, 2025

ABSTRACT The transition to renewable energy sources is imperative for sustainable economic growth (GDP) and environmental resilience. present study examines the impact of policy uncertainty (EPU), geopolitical risk (GPR), financial market (FMU), GDP, trade openness (TRA), environmental, social, governance‐related (ESGU) on (RET) in United States from 2002 2023. utilization nonlinear approaches, namely, kernel‐based regularized least squares (KRLS), Rényi‐based effective transfer entropy (RETE), facilitates revelation heterogeneous relationships causal influences among these factors. empirical findings reveal that ESGU, FMU, EPU, GPR, TRA variables have positive significant effects energy, whereas GDP has a negative effect transition, especially according RETE analysis takes into account outliers interactions. On other hand, average marginal (AME) results assessing conditional mean ESGU FMU transition. These highlight importance reducing fostering stable environments accelerate RET. Our contributes literature by employing advanced methodologies, offering nuanced understanding dynamic interactions influencing adoption. Policy recommendations include enhancing regulatory stability, promoting investments, taking GPR facilitate smoother toward greener economy.

The role of democratic governance and patent innovations in advancing sustainable energy transition

Energy & Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: June 2, 2025

Transitioning to sustainable and green energy is a critical pathway achieving long-term development. While substantial research has been conducted on renewable energy, significant gap remains in examining the specific roles that women politics, democracy, patent innovations play influencing RE adoption. This study aims address this by exploring impact of these factors RE, with focus United Kingdom as case study, covering period from 1997Q2 2021Q4. Employing series advanced wavelet-based quantile techniques, highlights dynamic relationships between variables across different quantiles time scales. The results demonstrate politics consistently promote adoption various Democracy found have positive influence short long terms but exhibits negative medium term. Research development (R&D) yield mixed effects terms, yet show robust run. Surprisingly, economic growth appears detract Based findings, advocates for policies encourage greater female political participation, foster innovation through patents, strengthen democratic institutions, design more effective R&D incentives, incorporate sustainability into policy frameworks. These recommendations are aligned achievement SDGs 7, 9, 8, 13 .
