“…Statistics from https://www.statista.com/studies-and-reports/ (measured on 18 June 2021) estimate the BRICS countries’ combined population at 3.178 billion people, or about 41.42% of the global population. The combined GDP of the BRICS countries is equal to approximately 22.45% of the global GDP (Hou et al 2022 ). In addition, the global economy has steadily improved as nations collaborate with one another in numerous fields.…”

Few researches have inspected the task of green finance in reducing CO 2 emissions, while earlier studies have inspected the influence of economic development on carbon emissions. A green finance development index is built using four indicators to fill in this knowledge gap: green credit, green insurance, green securities, and green investing. Using data spanning the years 2005–2019, a panel quantile regression is applied to investigate the links between green finance, renewable energy, and CO 2 emissions. Increases in renewable energy use and advances in the green finance development index have contributed to a reduction in CO 2 emissions from BRICS countries. CO 2 emissions on the other hand slowed the growth of renewable energy use, slowed the flow of investment to green projects, and ultimately hampered the development of green finance. There was also a clear policy-driven influence on renewable energy spending in the countries of the BRICS region. Green finance policies, on the other hand, have consistently failed to have a long-term impact. Therefore, rising the consumption of renewable energy and creating a carbon trading market are all part of this study’s recommendations for green finance policy improvement.

Green behavior plays an essential role in the continuation of human life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of perceived social responsibility on green perception and behavior. The study was conducted using quantitative methods, sampling a questionnaire to 450 customers of various one-chain store branches in Iran through convenience sampling. The study was conducted from 16 May 2018 through 20 June 2018. Data from the moderating bootstrap analysis was used in PROCESS to analyze the data. The results indicated significant, positive correlations between social responsibility, on the one hand, and green perception and consumers' green behavior, on the other hand. In terms of strength, the coefficients indicated moderate relationships (r=0.345 and r=0.288, respectively). Indirect effects were studied using Macro bootstrap. It was revealed that green perception (β=0.0652) predicts consumers' green behavior and is a moderating variable. Additionally, the moderating impacts of extroversion and openness in the relationship between consumers' green perception and green behavior were identified. According to the research, in addition to increasing social responsibility, companies should try to increase customers' perception of this behavior to help green consumption.

“…Green behavior was largely discussed in the literature on corporate performance [26][27][28][29][30][31], social responsibility, and corporate sustainability [32][33][34][35].

Promoting green behavior among corporations is essential to the green transition of industrial sectors in China. There is a unique government-led green publicity institution, ‘Xuanguan‘, that expects to accelerate the green idea and policy spread top-down in the economic system in China. However, few studies discussed its role in formulating corporate green behavior. By constructing an integrated model of Government-led publicity-Internal and external perception-Corporate green behavior, this paper explored the effect of government-led green publicity on corporate green behavior, based on the survey data of 199 industrial manufacturing corporations in Henan Province, China. A structural equation model (SEM) was adopted to detect the influence and influential path. The results found that government-led green publicity could positively enhance green behavior via improving the corporate internal perception of risk and opportunity and improving the corporate perception of external environment actors. The heterogeneity tests showed that type of publicity channels, corporate ownership, and corporate scale made different effects on the results. Further analysis proved that government-led publicity could enhance the function of formal environmental regulation. It implies that government-led publicity can be a good compensation for formal regulations and stimulate green behavior. This paper demonstrates a new factor of enhancing corporate behavior and contributed new evidence of China’s green development story.
