“…We use an annual and balanced panel dataset from 60 countries over the period 2000–2019. Our dependent variable is RETI, as measured by the number of renewable energy patents (Pitelis et al., 2020; Zhao et al., 2022; Zhu et al., 2022). Data are obtained from the official website of the European Patent Office (EPO).…”

To explore whether climate risk (CR) affects renewable energy technological innovation (RETI) and its boundary conditions, this study examines the relationship between CR and RETI as moderated by institutional environment. Based on panel data of 60 countries for the period 2000–2019, we show that CR is not conducive to RETI, and that its negative marginal impact shows an inverted U‐shaped trend with the improvement of RETI. Heterogeneity analysis shows that floods and storms have the greatest negative impacts on RETI, and that innovations in solar and wind energy technologies are more vulnerable to the adverse shocks of CR. Furthermore, CR has a greater adverse effect on RETI in developing countries than in developed countries. However, the institutional environment, especially the economic institutional environment, can work to mitigate the negative effect of CR on RETI. Our findings not only enrich the research on the economic consequences of CR but also provide effective ways to mitigate the adverse impact of CR on RETI from the perspective of institutional environment.

“…The impact of GPR on environmental sustainability was found to be smaller in developed countries www.nature.com/scientificreports/ compared to developing countries. This may be because developed countries often have more advanced infrastructure and technology to support renewable energy development 82 . A well-established domestic renewable energy system enables a relatively independent energy supply.…”

This study investigates the impact of geopolitical risk (GPR) on consumption-based carbon (CCO2) emissions as well as the moderating role of environmental policy stringency (EPS) on the above relationship. Based on data collected from 27 countries from 1990 to 2020, the basic results from the sample of the study indicate that GPR accelerates CCO2 emissions. Quantile regression results reveal that the effect of GPR is more pronounced in countries with higher CCO2 emissions. Moreover, EPS weakens the escalating effect of GPR on CCO2 emissions. The robust test results validate the findings reported in the basic regression model. The heterogeneity test indicates that the impact of GPR on CCO2 emissions is greater in developing countries compared in developed countries. The study also proposes these policy implications based on the findings: (1) countries should ensure a stable political environment, establish a robust legal system and promote energy transition; and (2) the scope of environmental taxes should be expanded where different tax rates should be imposed in order to be useful in reducing CCO2 emissions.

“…Vo et al [ 9 ] used second generation estimation analysis to examine the joint and independent effects of financial development and renewable energy on energy consumption in CPTPP countries over the period 1971–2019, and the results confirmed the existence of an inverted ’U’ shaped relationship between energy consumption and economic growth. Zhu et al [ 10 ] constructed a global trade network of key minerals from 2000–2019 and used a dynamic econometric model to analyse the impact of trade patterns on renewable energy development. The results showed that trade strength and central influence can contribute to renewable energy development through technological advances in renewable energy.…”

Solar PV enables the conversion of solar energy into electricity and has become a clean energy technology for economic development. The advantages and disadvantages of solar photovoltaic vary among CPTPP member nations; nevertheless, since the CPTPP’s implementation, fewer researchers have evaluated the member countries’ solar photovoltaic goods’ level of international competitiveness. In order to correct the flaw that the RCA index can only be studied from trade volume, this study adopts the IRCA index method and the revised CMS model, which integrates a number of variables to analyze the competitiveness of solar photovoltaic in each country. The study’s findings indicate that: (1) the structural effect has a significant impact on export growth, particularly during the epidemic period, when Australia’s contribution rate reached 106.58%; (2) the competitiveness effect has a lesser impact on export growth, and the epidemic led to a decline in competitiveness, with Japan’s contribution rate reaching -262.85%; (3) the second-order effect has a declining trend in its contribution rate of export growth; (4) the export competitiveness of solar PV products differs between CPTPP countries, with power supply products having the most export competitiveness and solar cells having a steady comparative advantage in a weaker state. Apart than Japan, the remaining nations’ comparative advantages for PV products are less than 1. Based on the above research findings, this paper puts forward the corresponding policy recommendations.
