The human desire to raise the standard of life necessitates economic development. However, in pursuing the dream of economic progress, countries have mounted nonrenewable energy and natural resource consumption. Consequently, CO2 emissions have recorded an increase of almost 50% since the start of the industrial revolution (IEA, 2021). This situation has triggered global warming and climate change. Therefore, in light of these persistent issues, renewable energy transition is considered a viable way to curtail CO2 emissions and help achieve climate-related goals. In addition, the concurrent role of institutions cannot be overlooked. The involvement of institutions in mitigating climate change is only imperative and also endorses the concept of green growth and ultimately enhances environmental sustainability. Strict institutional regulation and the rigid rule of law can compel firms to cut carbon emissions.
Moreover, it is well established that political institutions are involved in policymaking and its implementation. Therefore, institutional forces can affect the investment required to achieve SDG-7 and strategies to combat climate change (SDG-13). Despite studies focused on the macroeconomic determinants of CO2 emissions and energy transition, the moderating role of institutional factors in the nexus between energy transition and environmental sustainability is neglected. Against this backdrop, this Research Topic is designed to increase the understanding regarding the linkage between institutional forces, energy transition, and climate actions in the context of Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 13. This understanding will help to make strategies for sustainable growth by reducing adverse environmental effects of growth. Original Research and Review articles providing novel findings on the nexus between these variables along with reasonable environmental policies for increasing progress on SDGs 7 and 13 are welcomed.
This Research Topic is devoted to research works that analyze the linkage between energy transition, institutional forces, and climate actions. The studies must provide insights into this topic keeping in view related SDGs and direct SDG-oriented policies.
This Research Topic welcomes submissions in the following areas:
• Institutional factors and green energy consumption
• Political risks, green energy consumption, and environmental degradation
• Democracy and sustainable growth
• Corruption control, environmental strategies, and renewable energy consumption
• Institutional forces and emissions control
• Institutional quality, energy investments, and environmental footprints
• Green energy research and development and the role of institutions
• Institutional quality, environmental regulations, and green energy production
• Affordable clean energy, financial resources, and climate control
• Green innovation and Sustainable Development Goals
