“…The first deliberation on COVID-19 inferences suggests that nature is playing its part to restore itself. According to Thorgren and Williams ( 2020 ), Sciomer et al ( 2020 ), Faria-e-Castro ( 2021 ), and Iqbal et al ( 2021a ), when nature reaches a saturation point, it checks itself for fossil fuels disposal, relics, wastage, landfills, and emits, and dissipates it accordingly in a natural process (Ahmad et al 2021a ; Hao et al 2021 ; Abbasi et al 2022 ; Fang et al 2022 ; Irfan et al 2022a ; Tang et al 2022a ). The world is full of unhygienic mulls, bloodsheds, and atrocities, which impact the natural and wildlife, erode the natural flora, and ruin the natural life (Sciomer et al 2020 ).…”

History records show that pandemics and threats have always given new directions to the thinking, working, and learning styles. This article attempts to thoroughly document the positive core of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) and its impact on global social psychology, ecological stability, and development. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the hypotheses and comprehend the objectives of the study. The findings of the study reveals that the path coefficients for the variables health consciousness, naturalism, financial impact and self-development, sustainability, compassion, gregariousness, sympathy, and cooperation demonstrate that the factors have a positive and significant effect on COVID-19 prevention. Moreover, the content analysis was conducted on recently published reports, blog content, newspapers, and social media. The pieces of evidence from history have been cited to justify the perspective. Furthermore, to appraise the opinions of professionals of different walks of life, an online survey was conducted, and results were discussed with expert medical professionals. Outcomes establish that the pandemics give birth to creativity, instigate innovations, prompt inventions, establish human ties, and foster altruistic elements of compassion and emotionalism.

“…It means that initially, with energy mix the ecosystem's vulnerability to climate change decreases, but as the renewable energy proportion increases in the energy mix, this increased proportion of renewable energy will increase ecosystem vulnerability. Because the transformation of an economy from fossil-fuel-based power plants to renewable energy plants requires heavy investment, it will change the market structure of an economy that demands trained labor [8,33,34]. Here the threshold value shows that food, health and infrastructure vulnerability will decrease when the renewable energy is at least 5% of non-renewable energy.…”

“…This energy vulnerability had led to several other forms of vulnerability, such as food provision, infrastructure and health. The vulnerability of power generation can be reduced by increasing the share of renewable energy [7,8]. Developed countries are not different from developing countries in terms of using traditional sources of electricity production.…”

Role of Energy Mix in Determining Climate Change Vulnerability in G7 Countries

Anthropogenic activities are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, causing extreme events like soil erosion, droughts, floods, forest fires and tornadoes. Fossil fuel consumption produces CO2, and trapping heat is the major reason for a rapid increase in global temperature, and electricity generation is responsible for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and their adverse impact have become the focus of efforts to mitigate climate change vulnerability. This study explores empirical determinants of vulnerability to climate change such as ecosystem, food, health and infrastructure. The sustainable use of energy is necessary for development, and a source of response to climate change. The present study focuses on renewable energy consumption to determine climate vulnerability in G7 countries between 1995 and 2019. The panel ARDL approach showed that the renewable to non-renewable energy mix showed a quadratic effect on vulnerability, whereby a minimum threshold of renewable energy is required to witness a reduction in food, health and infrastructure vulnerability. Other results indicate that trade openness and development expenditures reduce health vulnerability. Development expenditures also decrease ecosystem vulnerability, while trade openness increases it. However, both of these variables increase infrastructure vulnerability. Avoiding severe food and water crises requires investment to tackle climate change, conserve energy and water resources, reform global trade and food markets, and adapting and adopting climate-resilient responses to change.

“…The burning of fossil fuels, according to environmental scientists, is the primary reason for greenhouse effect ( Ahmad et al, 2021 ; Abbasi et al, 2022 ). Greenhouse effect is the buildup of heat in the atmosphere ( Ali et al, 2021 ; Hao Y. et al, 2021 ; Iqbal et al, 2021b ).…”

How Do Green Finance and Energy Efficiency Mitigate Carbon Emissions Without Reducing Economic Growth in G7 Countries?

Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing the world today. Environmental pollution and depletion of natural resources have been highlighted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), paving the way for modern concepts such as sustainable growth to be introduced. Therefore, this research explores the relationship between green finance, energy efficiency, and CO2 emissions in the G7 countries. The study uses panel data model technique to examine the dependence structure of green finance, energy efficiency, and CO2 emissions. Moreover, we use DEA to construct an energy efficiency index of G7 countries. A specific interval exists between the values of the energy efficiency indexes. Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States were named the most energy-efficient countries in the world, based on results obtained for five consecutive years in this category. However, according to the comparative rankings, France and Italy are the most successful of all the G7 members, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. Our overall findings of the econometric model confirm the negative impact of green finance and energy efficiency on CO2 emissions; however, this relationship varies across the different quantiles of the two variables. The findings in the study confirm that green finance is the best financial strategy for reducing CO2 emissions.
