It is expected that binding biophysical constraints have the potential to slow growth and impede the improvement of other key macroeconomic variables. Using a DYNK (Dynamic New Keynesian) model of the EU27, we study two different environmental policy options and evaluate their impact on...

The energy transition is a priority for the European Union, both in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing its dependence on imported fossil fuels. The European Union is at the forefront of the fight against climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. This article...

Global materials use is expected to grow in the coming decades in the absence of new policies, bearing substantial negative impacts for the environment. This report analyses the mechanisms through which resource efficiency and circular economy policies can achieve a decoupling between economic...

The article focuses on identifying priority areas for greening and sustainable devel-opment for OECD countries and Ukraine. They aim to achieve overall progress inthe interaction between the economy and the environment. Additionally, the aim isto create prerequisites for encouraging innovation...

Countries have pledged to stabilize global warming at a 1.5 to 2°C increase. Either target requires reaching net zero emissions before the end of the century, which implies a major transformation of the economic system. This paper reviews the literature on how policymakers can design climate...

Efforts to address the sustainability crisis, especially in the U.S., have made important strides over the last twenty-five years, and continue to evolve. Yet, current sustainability discourse and practice reveal some challenges, risks and emerging needs. In particular, the modern sustainability...

Drastic reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are needed in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. The European Union (EU), a leader in climate change mitigation, has adopted an ambitious strategy to achieve its mitigation goal. A piece of this strategy is the Renewable Energy...

The European Union (EU) has redefined the energy sphere in Europe over the last three decades. Transnational policies targeting liberalization and integration, energy efficiency, renewables, carbon pricing, and energy security have led to major steps forward in terms of a more secure,...

This study examines relationships among information communications technology (ICT), CO2 emissions and economic growth. The panel annual data is constructed from 1991 to 2009 for nine members from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The paper examines the long-run equilibrium...

The paper aims to contribute to the longstanding technology-push vs. demand-pull debate and to the literature on renewable energy diffusion and renewable energy policy assessment. We argue that in addition to the traditional push-pull dichotomy, the drivers of technological change must be...
