The dual environmental impact of AI technologies
Navigating the sustainable development pathway
Critical minerals are increasingly essential for modern technologies like wind turbines, electric vehicles, solar panels, energy storage systems, and others. However, their extraction and processing generate significant greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). Modern AI technologies can reduce GHGE by optimizing energy systems and transportation, enhancing environmental monitoring, and supporting a sustainable mineral value chain. Accordingly, this study…
Environmental sustainability through energy transformation from waste
Public waste management can minimize environmental impacts by ensuring efficiency in waste reduction, recycling, and waste disposal processes. When combined with effective waste management, biomass energy can effectively replace fossil fuels. It is essential to protect natural resources in order to maximize the effects of waste management and biomass energy. In this context, this study investigates the effects of biomass energy, public waste mana…
Toward SDG 13
Previous studies in the context of the finance‐environment nexus mainly rely on quantitative indicators to provide information on activity or depth of the financial system, ignoring how institutional openness and the degree of regulatory autonomy within the financial market shape environmental outcomes that are directly relevant to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. Accordingly, in line with the objectives of SDG 13, this research provides th…
Sustainable financial development for cleaner energy in the Mena region
Unveiling Sustainability Pathways
Low‐carbon technology (LCT) (i.e., solar panels, wind turbines, biomass systems, and carbon capture technologies) trade is an emerging yet understudied driver of environmental sustainability. LCT trade lowers costs, enhances global accessibility, and accelerates renewable energy adoption. This study examines the impacts of LCT export (LCTEX) and LCT import (LCTIM), along with economic and financial dynamics, on the ecological footprint (EF) of th…
Sustainable pathways in leading emitters
Driving sustainable growth necessitates energy policies that prioritize energy sustainability, accessibility, and efficiency (ESAE). This research pioneers an assessment of the impact of holistic ESAE endeavors in the context of achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7 and 13. The analysis centers on 20 leading emitters, contributing approximately 79% to global CO2 emissions. The study adopts the energy productive capacity index, which me…
Achieving carbon neutrality and SDGs
In recent years, solar energy (SOE) has become a popular source of green energy that can stimulate energy transition, reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGE), and mitigate global warming. In addition, population aging and government stability can also influence GHGE levels. However, there is a lack of research studies on the environmental impacts of SOE and population aging on GHGE in top emitters. Therefore, this research aims to unveil the heter…

The Consequences of France's Return to Nuclear on Sustainable Development
The energy sector is one of the main industries that causes environmental degradation. To achieve the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG7 and SDG13), countries strive to expand the country's low‐carbon (renewable and nuclear) energy transition. While many other countries are progressively decreasing their reliance on nuclear energy, France is further increasing its usage. The aim of this study is to investigate the comparative impac…
Consolidating Sustainable Development in OECD Countries
Sustainable development is a broad concept encompassing economic, social, and environmental factors. Thus, traditional development and environmental indicators offer an insufficient perspective since they fail to integrate education, health, income, and environmental issues cohesively. To overcome this, the study considers a comprehensive sustainable development index that accounting for material footprint, CO 2 emissions, education, income, and …

Green policymaking in top emitters
The escalating levels of environmental degradation along with escalating conflicts and incidents of trade disputes among regional powers can exert a detrimental influence on the prospects for achieving sustainable development (SUD). Prior empirical works have tended to overlook the contributions of trade globalization and external conflicts to the SUD. Furthermore, prevailing studies on SUD often rely on various environmental metrics, economic gr…
