The Analysis of Public Funds Utilization Efficiency for Climate Neutrality in the European Union Countries

Katarzyna Debkowska et al.

Summary: The aim of this article was to evaluate the efficiency of public funds in achieving climate neutrality. It was found that the current public statistics are not suitable for measuring the progress of climate policy objectives. A new approach combining Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and soft modeling was proposed to analyze the efficiency of public interventions in reducing CO2 emissions in 27 European Union countries. The study showed that the activity efficiency of EU countries in achieving climate neutrality varied, and increasing public funds for environmental protection did not necessarily lead to progress in reaching climate neutrality objectives. The study also revealed that building renewable energy sources had the most positive impact on achieving climate neutrality, while expenditures on transport infrastructure did not contribute to climate neutrality. The analysis of 52 projects in one region of Poland further identified variations in the efficiency of investments in replacing heating sources, and a synthetic index of efficiency measurement was established based on CO2 reduction per EUR 1. The study highlighted the need for uniform measurements, data collection rules, and benchmarks for CO2 emissions reduction projects on a European scale. The findings should be utilized by decision-makers to develop reference methodologies and best practices for successful implementation of climate objectives, particularly the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

How do renewable energy and urbanization cause carbon emissions? Evidence from advanced panel estimation techniques

Yunpeng Sun et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationships among renewable energy consumption, urbanization, economic growth, and carbon emissions in the MENA region. It finds that rapid urbanization and economic growth contribute to higher carbon emissions, while renewable energy consumption is the optimal solution to mitigate them. These results suggest that transitioning towards green and sustainable energies is imperative to neutralize adverse environmental consequences in the MENA region.

Sectoral low-carbon roadmaps and the role of forest biomass in Finland's carbon neutrality 2035 target

Antti Majava et al.

Summary: As part of Finland's climate policy, low-carbon roadmaps have been created for various industries to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. However, the current roadmaps have an excessive demand for forest biomass, which exceeds the available supply and poses risks to carbon neutrality and other sustainability goals. Therefore, the inclusion of a comprehensive material perspective and clear boundaries is necessary to enhance the viability of these roadmaps as a policy tool.

The impact of age structure on carbon emission in the Middle East: the panel autoregressive distributed lag approach

Mohammad Hassan Tarazkar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of age structure on environmental degradation in Middle Eastern countries, using panel data of 10 countries from 1990 to 2014. The findings suggest a significant relationship between age structure and environmental pollution, with children and working age population showing positive elasticity, while elderly population showing negative elasticity. Additionally, the working age population has the highest explanatory power on carbon emissions, and there is a positive relationship between per capita energy consumption and gross domestic product per capita with air pollution in the region.

Corporate immunity to the COVID-19 pandemic

Wenzhi Ding et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, companies with stronger financial positions, less exposure to global supply chains and customer locations, more corporate social responsibility activities, and fewer entrenched executives performed better in terms of stock returns. On the other hand, companies with greater ownership by hedge funds and other asset management companies showed worse performance.

The role of energy prices and non-linear fiscal decentralization in limiting carbon emissions: Tracking environmental sustainability

Shan Shan et al.

Summary: The study highlights the complex influence relationships among fiscal decentralization, energy prices, and institutional quality on carbon emissions, showing that non-linear fiscal decentralization helps to reduce carbon emissions. It also suggests lowering non-renewable energy prices and improving institutional quality to enhance environmental quality.

Will climate mitigation ambitions lead to carbon neutrality? An analysis of the local-level plans of 327 cities in the EU

Monica Salvia et al.

Summary: This study compares the mitigation targets of 327 European cities and finds that although 78% of cities have set emissions reduction targets, the average target of European cities is only 47%, indicating a need to double efforts to meet the requirements of the Paris Agreement. Some cities are ambitious, setting carbon neutrality targets, with factors such as city size, climate network membership, and local motivation playing important roles in achieving carbon neutrality.

Exploring the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, urbanisation and financial deepening for Turkey using the symmetric and asymmetric causality approaches

Faisal Faisal et al.

Summary: This study investigates the complex association among carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, capital, financial deepening, and urbanisation. The impact of urbanisation on pollution levels exhibits an inverted U-shaped relationship. Financial development, electricity use, and capital have significant positive effects on carbon dioxide emissions, while GDP has an insignificant effect.

Modelling approach for carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth: A systematic review

Daniela Debone et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive overview of econometric models used to analyze the relationships among carbon emissions, energy consumption, and economic growth. Various modeling approaches were found, with artificial neural networks, STIRPAT model, and Granger causality being the primary models used by authors in recent years. The analyzed methods were considered efficient in investigating the relationships between variables and promoting discussions on renewable energy investments and CO2 emissions mitigation policies.
