“…Neves et al (2017) reported that electricity usage in 15 OECD economies reduces the utilization of fossil fuel while CO2 emissions continue to grow. Valadkhani et al (2019) further emphasized the nexus using the data of 60 countries for the period of 1965-2016. The countries with the highest income reduce their carbon emissions by replacing gas with oil or coal with hydroelectric power.…”

Circular economy is one effective strategy to achieve a healthy environment and efficient use of resources. In this study, the trade relationship between China and Nigeria is used to establish how circular economy ameliorates climate change. On the basis of CO2 emissions, data from 1991 to 2014 are obtained and measures for energy efficiency in the mining and extractiverelated sectors from energy intensity are derived using Fisher ideal index decomposition. This study utilizes panel-corrected standard error, feasible generalized least squares, autoregressive distribute lag bound, and Bayesian VAR models. These techniques suggest that energy efficiency in the mining and extractive-related sector and the circular economy have not translated into CO2 emission reduction in both countries. However, economic growth, energy use (non-renewable energy), and clean energy substitution (renewable energy) are essential factors in mitigating CO2 emissions. Given such evidence, resource melioration for energy consumption and economic growth have indispensable roles in reducing CO2 emissions.

“…Additionally, the industrial sector can have more intense effects on the environment since the volume of this energy is much larger than the domestic one (Narayan & Doytch, 2017;Ahmad et al, 2013). Valadkhani et al (2019) analysed the effects that EC has on the pollution levels in a country. The sample for the analysis consisted of 60 countries and data was collected from 1965 to 2016.…”

Economic growth is very basic need of any economy but its environmental effects should not be ignored. We investigate the environmental effects of economic growth and energy consumption of Saudi Arabia. The study uses data of a period 1968-2014 and cointegration test and corroborates a long-and short-run relationships. The results indicate that economic growth and energy consumption contributes in CO2 emissions in both long-and short-run. It means that increasing economic growth of the Kingdom has social cost on the economy in terms of pollution emissions. Based on findings, we recommend to use the alternative renewable sources of energy consumption to avoid the pollution effects of growth in Saudi Arabia.

“…Therefore, the first step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce energy consumption or increase energy efficiency [26,27]. Various types of primary energy include oil, coal, gas, hydropower, and other renewable energy sources [28].…”

Sustainable Development in EU Countries in the Framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Europe 2020 Strategy was proposed with a long-term vision to ensure prosperity, development, and competitiveness for the member countries. This strategy is divided into three main areas named “growth.” One of these is sustainable growth. This is an area of sustainability, where the partial targets are referred to as the “20-20-20 approach,” and includes a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, an increase in energy efficiency, and the sharing of renewable energy sources. However, questions arise, including: How do member states meet these targets? Which countries are leaders in this area? According to these stated questions, the aim of this article is to assess how EU countries are meeting the set targets for sustainable growth resulting from the Europe 2020 strategy and to identify the countries with the best results in this area. We looked for answers to these questions in the analysis of sustainable indicators, which were transformed into a synthetic measure for comparability of the resulting values. Finally, we identified the Baltic states, Nordic countries (European Union members), Romania, and Croatia as the best countries in fulfilling the sustainable growth aims. As sustainable development and resource efficiency are crucial areas for the future, it is important to consider these issues.
