Transport-energy transitions pose complex challenges that have been extensively studied in high-income countries response to national mandates for climate action.Low-and middle-income countries, however, low but rapidly growing motorisation rates and face very different adopting new technologies foster economic development ensure equitable access clean transportation.Here, we present a set of narrative scenarios the future Kenyan transport-energy system co-developed through engagement with 41 local experts decision-makers.Through co-development transportenergy model, decision-support tool, populated those scenarios, assist policymakers at regional, international levels building policy investment pipelines support low-carbon growth.We find Kenya's can meet both goals, this demands strong efficient public transport targeted road vehicle electrification.Increased non-motorised is essential provide services opportunities.Favourable pathways result significant e-mobility uptake, which anticipated increase electricity demand by 5%-56% from 2023 2040, relative IEA Kenya Energy Outlook's Stated Policies scenario, representing 2.7-3.9xincrease total over same period.From macro-fiscal perspective, results show has two important consequences Kenya.Firstly, under high there negative fiscal impact taxation revenues

Sustainable transitions are essential for balancing economic growth with environmental preservation. Ecological sustainability, measured through footprints (ECV), serves as a strategic pathway mitigating degradation and fostering long-term ecological resilience. This study examines the role of industrialization (IDS), (EGR), human capital (HDV), green technologies (GNN), renewable energy consumption (RNC) in shaping ECV across G5 countries from 2000 to 2022. Employing cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimator, alongside mean group (AMG) common correlated effects (CCEMG) robustness, this unveils positive association between EGR ECV, indicating its adverse impact on sustainability. However, IDS, HDV, GNN, RNC exhibit negative relationships suggesting their contributions improving These findings highlight need integrated policies that promote sustainable industrial practices, enhance technological advancements, optimize counterbalance pressures growth. Aligning expansion sustainability remains crucial achieving balance nations.

Abstract The most essential factors should be defined to increase the effectiveness of sustainable energy financing. Otherwise, businesses may face some financial and operational problems due not using resources effectively. However, only a limited number studies in literature have identified these important factors. This situation shows need for new study determine variables that greatest impact on Thus, purpose this is identify significant determinants affect For situation, 3-stage model constructed reach purpose. first stage prioritizes experts with help artificial intelligence (AI). second weights assessment criteria financing by quantum spherical fuzzy M-SWARA. Finally, balanced scorecard-based project priorities are ranked WASPAS. main contribution detailed evaluation performed understand strategies improvements novel model. Calculation expert AI increases quality originality Similarly, considering M-SWARA, WASPAS, theory, sets also because managing uncertainties more technical competence enterprise Funding diversification found as items increasing Additionally, according ranking results, it determined issues customer needs alternatives.

Advanced approaches towards policymaking for net zero emissions

Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 49, С. 100951 - 100951

Опубликована: Июнь 29, 2024

This study highlights the extensive use of and full reliance on nonrenewable sources like fossil base fuels results in availability shortage, increased economy, depletion carbon sink, CO2 emission high, environmental pollution, drastic change climate mismanagement waste. To overcome this problem, renewable resources together with nuclear advanced approaches resulted fewer are used to decarbonize GHG/CO2 emissions, storage technology lower pricing achieve net-zero sustainability environment. The proposed policies their implementation occurrence at national international levels also carbon-free production enhanced consistency. On environmentally friendly policies, problem could be solved by global contribution government, stakeholders, public sectors, engagement policy coherence integration towards making implementing via for achieving emissions.
