Summary: The G7 nations have not yet had a significant impact on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 8, 7, and 13, potentially due to issues with fossil fuel utilization and implementation of renewable energy. This study analyzes data from 1990 to 2018 and finds that energy innovation and globalization have a negative effect on ecological footprint, while nonrenewable energy and GDP have a positive influence. A policy framework focused on SDGs is proposed to address these issues.

Summary: This research examines the impact of globalization, economic growth, and energy consumption on Japan's ecological imprint, using annual time series data from 1990 to 2021. The study employs Granger causality tests, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL), and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). Empirical findings indicate that globalization and non-renewable energy consumption have a positive effect on Japan's ecological imprint, while long-term renewable energy usage and gross domestic product (GDP) have an inverse influence. Short-term results reveal a direct correlation between GDP and ecological imprint, but a negative correlation between globalization, renewable energy usage, non-renewable energy usage, and ecological imprint. DOLS coefficients are insignificant, although they are negligible at the 5% level, and the DOLS outcomes are consistent with the long-term ARDL. According to the Granger causality analysis, both renewable and non-renewable energy usage have an ecological impact, with non-renewable energy consumption granger causing the use of renewable energy. The results also demonstrate a causal relationship between globalization and the adoption of renewable energy.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clean energy stocks in the United States. The empirical findings suggest that the response of clean energy stocks to feverish sentiment, lockdown stringency, oil volatility, dirty assets, and monetary policy diminishes within a short period of time. The study also identifies unidirectional causality from feverish sentiment and lockdown stringency to clean energy stock returns, and from monetary policy to clean energy stocks. The bidirectional causality between the lockdown stringency index and the feverish sentiment index is also observed. These findings provide insights for practitioners and policy-makers.

Summary: The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis has been re-investigated for the United Kingdom in this study. Contrary to previous literature, innovative methods were used to address the issue of unreliable results. The findings show that the EKC hypothesis is valid for the UK and energy consumption significantly pollutes the environment, but the magnitude of its impact can be influenced by various shocks. The empirical results suggest that environmental quality in the United Kingdom has been improving for several decades.

Summary: Developed countries have implemented environmental taxes, energy taxes, and emission limits to mitigate the negative effects of economic activities. The Environmental Policy Stringency Index (EPS index) is used as a measurement technique to evaluate the stringency of environmental policies. This study explores the impact of the EPS index on economic activities in 20 European countries from 1995 to 2020. The findings indicate that an increase in the EPS index leads to a decline in economic growth at the aggregate level and negatively affects the industry sector.
