“…Through applying the estimation methodology as presented in Figure 2, this study determines that renewable energy has an improving impact on the LCF in both the short run and long run. It is in line with the studies of [16,17,20,38,40] for BRIC countries, South Asian countries, selected 67 countries, and the USA. Also, this determination is consistent for LAC countries (i.e., [6,37,44,67]) as well.…”

“…[16] investigates BRIC countries from 1971 to 2016 and defines that REN has an ecofriendly role. A similar result is obtained for LAC countries by [6,37], selected five South Asian countries from 1985 to 2018 by [17], for the USA from 1989 to 2021 by [38], for selected 67 countries from 1971 to 2018 by [20], for the USA between 1973 and 2022 by [39], and for USA from 1965 to 2018 by [40].…”

Considering relatively high but recently decreasing environmental quality in the LAC countries with regard to the world, this study uncovers the progress of environmental quality, which is proxied by load capacity factor (LCF). In this context, the study considers renewable energy, trade openness, income, and globalization as explanatory indicators; uses data from 1990 to 2018; applies pooled mean group autoregressive distributed lag (PMG-ARDL) approach as the main model; and performs panel Toda-Yamamoto (PTY) causality test as robustness model. This is important because the LAC countries have ecological reserves, whereas many countries have an ecological deficit. For this reason, the investigation of the LAC countries has significance for the environmental quality in the world. Also, this study has novelty in terms of examining LAC countries and using the LCF as the environmental quality. The results present that (i) renewable energy has an improving impact on the LCF in both the short run and the long run; (ii) trade openness has a stimulating impact on the LCF in the long run; (iii) however, globalization and economic growth have a degrading impact on the LCF in the long run. Hence, it can be drawn from the results that renewable energy and trade openness have a critical impact on preserving and developing environmental quality. In line with the empirical findings, it can be proposed that LAC countries should utilize renewable energy effectively, improve trade volume through trade openness, increase renewable energy technology import, and expand the use of renewable energy in foreign trade activities. Thus, effective renewable energy and foreign trade policies can promote the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the LAC countries.

“…Fossil fuel utilization intensifies the likelihood of environmental contamination and climatic concerns. When energy is consumed, greenhouse gases like SO 2 and CO 2 cause significant climate change (Kartal et al, 2022; Usman et al, 2022). Without strict energy usage controls, the world may experience catastrophic environmental disasters (Magazzino et al, 2021).…”

In response to the mounting risks posed by climate change, innovation and mitigation of pollution have emerged as key drivers of sustainable growth and the environment. This research aims to explore the effect of economic complexity and financial risk on the load capacity factor. The research employed a series of second-generation techniques such as a method of moment quantile regression and Dumitrescu Hurlin panel causality covering the period between 1990 and 2018. The findings provided convincing evidence of cointegration. The long-run analysis showed that renewable energy use, economic complexity and financial risk contribute to ecological quality.However, non-renewable energy and economic progress threaten ecological quality by lessening the load capacity factor. The research revealed causality from financial risk, economic growth, disintegrated energy and economic complexity to load capacity factor. Lastly, a policy framework is proposed based on the study findings to accomplish the sustainable development goals (SDGs) 7, 13 and 17.

“…For example, electric vehicles (EVs) continue to have a low market share in most countries, despite their increasing availability and affordability (Xue et al, 2021). In the U.S., only around 5% of people follow a vegetarian diet, 0.5% of whom are vegan (Kunst, 2022); people throw out an average of their own body weight in garbage every month (Hoornweg et al, 2013); and the majority of the public continue to consume fossil-fuel based energy rather than renewable energy (Kartal et al, 2022), despite robust evidence that these behaviors contribute immensely to anthropocentric climate change (Ivanova et al, 2020). For civic action, only 1% of the U.S. population is participating in a campaign to convince elected officials to take action to reduce global warming (Goldberg et al, 2021).…”

How do we reinforce climate action?

Humanity has a shrinking window to act on climate change, yet climate action is severely lacking. We argue that it is because interventions to promote climate action have largely neglected the basic principles of behavior change from an operant conditioning perspective. In this paper, we propose a generative operant conditioning framework that uses positive and negative reinforcement to encourage low-emission behaviors and positive and negative punishment to discourage high-emission behaviors in domains of travel, food, waste, housing, and civic behaviors. This framework also offers a parsimonious account to explain positive and negative spillovers. This framework provides an effective recipe to design individual-level and system-level interventions to generate and sustain high-impact climate action across multiple domains.
