Synergy of climate change with country success and city quality of life

Abstract

Most people around the world have felt the effects of climate change on their quality of life. This study sought to achieve the maximum efficiency for climate change actions with the minimum negative impact on the well-being of countries and cities. The Climate Change and Country Success (C3S) and Climate Change and Cities’ Quality of Life (C3QL) models and maps of the world created as part of this research showed that as economic, social, political, cultural, and environmental metrics of countries and cities improve, so do their climate change indicators. For the 14 climate change indicators, the C3S and C3QL models indicated 68.8% average dispersion dimensions in the case of countries and 52.8% in the case of cities. Our research showed that increases in the success of 169 countries saw improvements in 9 climate change indicators out of the 12 considered. Improvements in country success indicators were accompanied by a 71% improvement in climate change metrics.

Sustainable Development Goals in BRICS and G7 countries: Increasing accomplishments through policy synergies in four dimensions

“…Despite its claims, the collaborative innovation framework focuses more on the "meso" level of collaboration to the neglect of the "macro" level where real major of policy-making takes place. Additionally, despite the term "collaborative innovation" or "synergy," there has not been much research done on it from an empirical standpoint; as a result, the precise function of actors in these processes is still largely unexplored (Kaklauskas et al, 2023).…”
