“…Studies in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka have revealed that RE improves air quality and mitigates CO 2 emissions in these countries, although the share of electricity produced using RES is comparatively low compared to other developing economies [66][67][68]. Similar studies in China, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia have revealed that increasing and actively funding the proportion of power generated from RES is crucial to support sustainable development, climate change mitigation, and environmental protection [37,63,69,70].…”

Without fundamentally altering how humans generate and utilise energy, there is no effective strategy to safeguard the environment. The motivation behind this study was to analyse the effectiveness of renewable energy in addressing climate change, as it is one of the most pressing global issues. This study involved the analysis of panel data covering 138 nations over a 27 year period, from 1995 to 2021, making it the latest addition to the existing literature. We examined the extent of the impact of renewable energy on carbon dioxide over time using panel, linear, and non-linear regression approaches. The results of our analysis, revealed that the majority of countries with the exception of Canada, exhibited a downward trend, underscoring the potential of increasing renewable energy consumption as an effective method to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat climate change. Furthermore, to reduce emissions and combat climate change, it is advisable for nations with the highest carbon dioxide emissions to adopt and successfully transition to renewable energy sources.
