Environmental issues are among the most hazardous issues the world faces in modern society. The paradigm shift and structural changes from emissions-intensive sources to services and information can reduce the overall environmental externalities. In developed and emerging countries, technological progress such as medium and high-technologies, greener technologies, and enforcement of environmental regulations have significantly reduced energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
This Research Topic corroborates this approach by debating the importance of energy transition, financial and trade globalization, and modern technologies, environmental-related technologies for sustainable development. The energy transition is relevant to achieving better environmental development standards, by reducing the use of limited natural resources. However, several countries lack access to advanced technologies, trade globalization, and face significant financial constraints. Financial Globalization refers to overall cross-border financial flows and access to international capital markets, while Trade Globalization presents the share of all products used for exports and imports. They remove cross-border restrictions, enhance technology transfers, and attract more industrial investments.
Technology access and Research and Development can contribute to green technologies and cleaner energy sources. With higher complexity, industries might become more environmentally friendly, develop technology and knowledge, and produce more efficiently with less pollution, further satisfying sustainable development goals.
This Research Topic mission is to advance knowledge in the fields of financial development and trade globalization to enhance better standards of sustainable development, energy transition and similar perspectives (i.e., renewable energy resources and alternative strategies to diversify the energy matrix), and modern technologies and other relevant aspects, such as export quality, economic diversification, economic complexity, innovation, and other dimensions that reveal the importance of economic structure to sustainable development.
Financial and trade globalization, energy transition, and economic structure impact on environmental issues is a relatively new topic. Researchers are encouraged to fulfill the dual role of providing studies that corroborate previous studies or not. Firstly, studies can present new theoretical backgrounds, case studies, and applied outcomes corroborating previous international studies. Secondly, researchers are encouraged to present counterarguments to test hypotheses that possibly falsify any notions and currently established findings.
We welcome submissions on the following topics:
• Does Trade Globalization induce sustainable production?
• Does trade or economic expansion induce energy transition?
• What is the role of technological advancements and Modern Technologies for sustainable production?
• Role of complex economic systems and economic globalization for the greener energy transition
• High tech industries and energy transition
• Medium and high-tech industries, and sustainability progress
• Modern Technologies, Research and Development, and Innovation
• Green investments, green products, green jobs
