Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence economic growth, digitalisation, eco-innovation, energy consumption and patents on environmental technologies volume greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) recorded in European countries for a period nine years (2010–2018). Design/methodology/approach Two empirical methods were integrated into theoretical approach developed based analysis current scientific framework. Multiple linear regression, an extended version OLS model, non-causal as robustness method, Dumitrescu–Hurlin, used achieve proposed research objective. Findings Digitalisation described by number individual Internet users determines amount GHG Europe, growth continues have significant effect emissions, well renewable energy. are not framed well-established patterns, but eco-innovation impact one way or another. In many countries, GHGs decreasing result changes field digitalisation. positive climate neutrality depends its degree sustainability, while same conditional their translation environmentally efficient technologies. Research limitations/implications This study has limitations which derive, first all, from lack digitalisation indicators. missing data restricted inclusion variables relevant description process, also obtaining conclusive results effects emissions. Originality/value A similar relationship among less common literature. Also, can be inspirational sphere macroeconomic policy.

The recent advancement in data science coupled with the revolution digital and satellite technology has improved potential for artificial intelligence (AI) applications forestry wildlife sectors. India shares 7% of global forest cover is 8th most biodiverse region world. However, rapid expansion developmental projects, agriculture, urban areas threaten country’s rich biodiversity. Therefore, adoption new technologies like AI Indian forests biodiversity sectors can help effective monitoring, management, conservation resources. We conducted a systematic search literature related to application machine learning algorithms (ML) sector across globe (using ISI Web Science Google Scholar). Additionally, we also collected on AI-based startups non-profits understand growth conservation, services. Here, first provide overview research conservation. Next, discuss challenges Overall, find that been slow compared developed, other developing countries. improving access big biodiversity, cloud computing, improve India. hope this synthesis will motivate officials, scientists, conservationists explore management.

To address this, prioritisation exercise was undertaken priority research questions concerning digital agriculture the UK, but with view also informing international contexts. The uses an established effective participatory methodology for capturing ordering wide range of views. method involves identifying large number participants eliciting initial long list which reduced refined subsequent voting stages select top priorities by theme. Participants were selected using purposive sampling snowballing represent sectors, organisations, companies disciplines across UK.

In this study, to discover how the growth of digital agriculture has impacted agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP), we take panel data from 2011 2019 for 30 Chinese provinces as research object, measure AGTFP and development using SBM-ML entropy method, use a fixed effect model analyze effects on AGTFP. The results demonstrate that (1) time-series characteristics, presented steady state 2019; (2) during study period, technical efficiency index was slightly lower than technological progress in index, meaning there is room further development; (3) relationship between presents an inverted U-shaped curve, with human capital playing moderating role. Finally, corresponding countermeasures are proposed four aspects: strengthening construction organizational mechanisms, building standardized base output, enhancing traceability certification products, improving social services industry.

Digital green innovation (DGI) is the core factor that affects digitalization and decarbonization strategy of agricultural high-end equipment manufacturing (AHEM) system. Although AHEM enterprises actively cooperate with academic research institutes to develop equipment, there are many obstacles in process DGI. Moreover, integration digital technology from perspective partner matching for system has not been fully introduced current literature. Hence, this study aimed (i) establish a suitable framework general, (ii) quantify selection DGI by institutions based on niche theory, (iii) propose an extended field model combined fuzzy VIKOR model. First, theoretical consisting three elements superposition, mutual benefit, trust, technological complementarity was constructed intensity overlap degree. ability superposition technology, technical beneficial transferring knowledge industry. Second, triangle number prospect theory method were into construct complementary resources. The successfully applied practical cases illustrate how can be implemented solve problem selection. Third, results case show criteria real-world enterprises. This only puts forward standard fitness evaluation but also establishes domain management theory. novel help carry out development equipment. following implications: constructing theory; developing enterprises; assisting perform practice.
