Summary: The impact of clean energy consumption on CO2 emissions in France, as the third largest European economy, from 1987 to 2019 was analyzed. The study found that clean energy consumption does not contribute to emissions reduction in the long run, while economic policy uncertainty poses a threat to environmental sustainability by increasing emissions levels. Economic growth boosts CO2 emissions, while urbanization supports environmental quality.

Summary: This research examines the effects of structural profile, consumption of clean energy sources, and revenue generation on environmental sustainability by measuring carbon dioxide emission levels. The results suggest that urbanization promotes a clean environment, while the use of green energy and economic growth degrade the atmosphere. Short-term structural changes may also have a negative impact on environmental sustainability. Therefore, policymakers should prioritize energy production from renewable sources and enforce strict laws and regulations to reduce carbon emissions.

Summary: This study examines the effects of economic complexity on ecological footprint and the indirect environmental effects through economic growth. The findings show that economic complexity not only reduces footprint but also mitigates the adverse environmental impacts of economic growth. It is also found that energy intensity and economic growth contribute to increasing the ecological footprint, while population density decreases it.

Summary: Although digital technology offers opportunities for sustainable business models, their potential is often overlooked. This study explores how companies in the German energy sector frame innovative digital technology and how it impacts their value propositions and energy transition. The research identifies differences in value propositions between companies with single-focused technological frames and those with twofold digital and sustainable technological frames. Overall, companies with a twofold frame contribute more to the energy transition as renewable energy enablers or system supporters.

Summary: Energy transition has significant implications for economic growth, social welfare, and the environment. This article provides a framework to quantify the effects of this transition from a triple perspective. It analyzes available reports, policy frameworks, and initiatives on energy transition, focusing on sustainable and circular perspectives. The study offers indicators to assess the potential of emerging technologies and renewable energy production schemes, with a focus on environmental, social, and economic aspects. It also highlights the need for policies and initiatives to facilitate the transition, and compares the energy renewability efforts of European countries. The critical analysis in this study sheds light on the implications of energy transition on environmental, social, and economic sustainability, as well as circularity. The findings can guide stakeholders, citizens, and policy makers in identifying areas of improvement for a sustainable and circular energy transition.

Summary: This study examines the impact of digital financial inclusion on economic growth and environmental sustainability. The findings suggest that digital financial inclusion can enhance economic growth but also leads to increased CO2 emissions and decreased environmental quality. Therefore, policymakers in the OBRI region should formulate policies to improve digital financial inclusion in order to achieve both economic performance and environmental sustainability.
