“…A variety of responses have been noted in the literature when analyzing the relationship between economic growth and CO 2 emissions for different countries; some studies have indicated that economic growth has a causal relationship with the variation in CO 2 emissions [17,18,20,[62][63][64][65][66][67]. Other studies indicate that there is a two-way relationship between economic growth and CO 2 emissions.…”

This article describes the results of a study of Ecuador’s energy status, using the system dynamics methodology to model supply, demand and CO2 emissions scenarios for the year 2030. Primary energy production increased in the different projected scenarios, with oil as the most important source of energy. The increase observed in final energy consumption was mainly associated with the transport and industry sectors. A reduction in energy intensity was projected for the different scenarios, which could be associated with the projected economic growth. The results obtained were used to build a proposal for energy policies aimed at mitigating emissions. The proposed changes to the national energy matrix could be the factors that will contribute most to the achievement of carbon emission reductions projected by the different scenarios; changes in the energy matrix are mainly associated with the development of projects to replace fossil fuels with renewable energies, mainly hydropower.

The 2030 Agenda with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a challenge for all countries in the world. Their implementation may turn out to be a compromise or the creation of effective interactions that dynamize sustainable development. To achieve the SDGs, it is essential to understand how they interact with each other. It seems that in the times of the climate and health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, caring for the environment and ensuring a healthy life and promoting well-being at all ages is the basis for environmental, economic and social sustainable development. The aim of the study is to compare the degree of implementation of the goals of sustainable development in the scope of goal 13 “Climate action” and goal 3 “Good health and well-being” in the EU countries. In addition, we analyze how trade-offs and synergies between these goals have developed. Data from the Eurostat database were used to achieve the goal. The study used the method of multivariate comparative analysis—linear ordering of objects. The technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to measure the studied phenomenon. The results indicate a different degree of implementation of the sustainable development goals related to climate change and the improvement of health and social well-being. Only a few countries have synergy in achieving these goals, most of them compromise, manifesting themselves in improving one goal over another. In the group of analyzed EU countries, a simultaneous deterioration in the effectiveness of achieving both objectives were also noted. Our research also shows that energy policy is an important attribute in improving the achievement of these goals. The conducted analysis fills the gap in the research on the implementation of selected sustainable development goals and their interactions. It contributes to the discussion on increasing the links between them, in particular with regard to emerging compromises. This research can provide a basis for re-prioritizing and intensifying the actions where individual EU countries are lagging most behind.

East Kalimantan has potential for solar radiation of 4,453 kWh/m 2 /day which can be used to generate electricity using photovoltaics(PV). This utilization has challenges due to intermittent. East Kalimantan has a Paser Mine covering an area of 1,045,060.20 m 2 and 2,566,678.20 m 2 which can be intermittency solution used a Pumped Hydro Storage(PHS). This literature review aims to determine the potential design Photovoltaic-Pumped Hydro Storage based on configuration of the mine pit along with charge-discharge of the PHS, capacity of PV, and savings carbon emissions. The writing method uses Engineering Subject Headings include;Carbon Emision, Paser Mine, Photovoltaics, Pumped Hydro Storage, Renewable Energy thus obtaining 30 journals. It was found that the proposed system is capable of supplying electricity with a power of 68.034 MW for 5 hours/day. The system has 451,433 solar panels with a capacity of 115,508 MW on area of 731,321,737 m 2. The carbon emission saved reaches 90.991%/day.
