Despite the wealth of research on smart cities, there is a lack studies examining interlinkages between cities and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In other words, limited how implementing city solutions can lead to co-benefits and/or trade-offs for achieving SDGs. This systematic literature review was conducted fill this gap. Results show that responsible development/implementation technologies could contribute progress toward The mainly focused SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities Communities), 12 (Responsible Consumption Production), 7 (Affordable Clean Energy), 6 (Clean Water Sanitation). More work SDGs needed. There bias reporting benefits cities.

Examining public private partnership investment in energy towards achieving sustainable development goal 7 for ASEAN region

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Июль 16, 2024

Abstract The gradual progress in aligning financial flows with the adoption of clean technologies reveals a persistent funding gap, signaling global misallocation capital. Addressing this challenge necessitates political leadership and robust policies to counteract insecurities impeding redirection flows. This study investigates into impact energy-related public–private partnership investments (PPPIE) macro-environmental variables on attainment Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) across Association Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries from 1999 2021. Employing Dynamac command technique, we conduct autoregressive distribution lag analysis Bounds Cointegration Test evaluate ASEAN’s efforts achieving SDG7. Results indicate that ten-year exogenous shock GDP growth rate initially causes temporary decline both PPPIE, albeit not statistically significant. However, long run, becomes significant, correlating negative rate. underscores external factors like COVID-19 pandemic economic ASEAN countries. Specifically, percentage increase PPPIE leads an 8.3% reduction rate, revealing detrimental unsustainable economy. signifies energy region, are predominantly adversely growth. Moreover, these contribute significant 52.6% greenhouse gas emissions, indicating substantial setback region’s towards meeting SDG7’s objectives by 2030. suggests present state does align sustainable goals region. Therefore, recommendations should include diversifying sources investment strategies enhance energy. Also, policymakers researchers reassess terms conditions refining frameworks for private sector involvement long-term sustainability goals.

Factors influencing the adoption of zero-emission buses: A review-based framework

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 197, С. 114388 - 114388

Опубликована: Март 31, 2024

Zero-emission buses (ZEBs) currently face the challenge of switching from small-scale implementation to large-scale deployment. This stage is affected by multiple decision-making factors that either hinder or enable ZEB adoption, also depending on local contexts and stakeholder perspectives. study develops a holistic framework relating transition towards fleets based an extensive literature review. The review aims at fully capturing supporting limiting for bus fleet decarbonisation organising them in comprehensive taxonomy hierarchy. Subsequently, impact each identified was quantitatively analysed. results show technological, economic managerial have hampered deployment ZEBs, while social, environmental, institutional dimensions stimulated their diffusion. However, more recent studies advances technological domains are reducing some drawbacks linked ZEBs. Finally, proposed used identify growing significance merit further research.

Опубликована: Июнь 8, 2024

Abstract This study aims to synthesize knowledge on the interconnections between rule of law and environmental sustainability by reviewing existing literature across various contexts. The topic is timely highly relevant, particularly in context climate change, global challenges, ongoing discourse about role promoting sustainable development. We utilized PRISMA framework for search selection, organizing it into two main themes: one investigating direct effects policies regulations, while another examining its mediated related financial development, foreign investment, trade openness, equitable resource distribution, human innovation's influence quality. review underscores significance clear frameworks, fair accountability mechanisms, stakeholder engagement preventing institutional collapse ensuring effective sustainability. A major gap identified limited exploration specific components both concepts, such as fundamental rights, justice system, biodiversity, waste management. These areas present avenues future research. offers insights policymakers advance objectives through a better understanding played
