Advanced Issues in the Green Economy and Sustainable Development in Emerging Market Economies

Abstract

This Element goes far beyond economic theory. It will also be of interest to representatives of the environmental sciences due to its focus on the “green” economy and sustainable development. It will also be interesting to the representatives of the social sciences, as it takes into account the peculiarities of emerging market economies. Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic makes this Element interesting from a health economics perspective.

Sustainable AI in environmental economics and management: Current trends and post-COVID perspective

“…Second, modern trends in environmental economics and management have been identified: 1) a positive ten-year trend in the Environmental Performance Index and 2) high volatility of total natural resource rents. Because of this, in contrast to Chen et al (2022), Congjuan et al (2022), Popkova (2022), Robinson et al (2022), andWang et al (2022), substantiated that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a critical impact on the environment due to ecological AI economics and management.…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted priorities from environmental protection to social programs and measures to stimulate economic growth (Almars et al, 2022;Balakesava Reddy et al, 2022;Lim and Abdul Ghani, 2022;Liu et al, 2022;Soomro et al, 2022). The problem is that insufficient attention and lack of funding threaten an environmental crisis, which implies the high relevance of studying as well as finding ways to prevent the latter today (Chen et al, 2022;Congjuan et al, 2022;Popkova, 2022;Robinson et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2022).…”

Challenges and prospects of decarbonization of the economy in the age of AI

“…The problem is that, despite the significant progress made in decarbonizing the economy by individual countries, their results are contradictory (Doğan et al, 2022;Li et al, 2022;Nasir et al, 2022). On the one hand, the benefits of reducing the carbon footprint of the economy for the environment and quality of life are obvious (the tip of the iceberg) (Murshed et al, 2021;Hamid et al, 2022a;Alam et al, 2022;Hamid et al, 2022b;Murshed et al, 2022;Popkova, 2022).…”

Global Monitoring of the Development of Digital Energetics Based on the Technologies of Industry 4.0: IoT, Blockchain, Robots, and Artificial Intelligence

“…The studies by Haddouche and Ilinca (2022), Kanoun et al (2021), Maggiore et al (2021), Matsunaga et al (2022), Morelli et al (2022), Otoum et al (2022), Wachnik et al (2022) refer to IoT, Blockchain, robots, and AI as the most advanced and most common technologies of Industry 4.0 in the energy economy. The problem lies in the fact that despite the advantages of digital energetics disclosed in detail in the existing literature (Popkova, 2022), there is still much uncertainty as to whether these advantages are achieved in practice and how to maximize them.…”
