“…As a result, the study’s goal is to discover if there is a new relationship between these concepts and to offer the best solutions to those involved. In this study, developing and developed countries are compared in terms of energy efficiency (Irfan et al 2022a ). In addition, we came up with a set of policies.…”

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.

“…India, which shares a border with China, is also battling new coronavirus. The country reported just three COVID-19 incidences through March 2, 2020 ( Irfan et al, 2021a ). During the next month, however, the confirmed COVID-19 instances grew to thousands all over the country.…”

The emergence of a new coronavirus (COVID-19) has become a major global concern that has damaged human health and disturbing environmental quality. Some researchers have identified a positive relationship between air pollution (fine particulate matter PM 2.5 ) and COVID-19. Nonetheless, no inclusive investigation has comprehensively examined this relationship for a tropical climate such as India. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by investigating the nexus between air pollution and COVID-19 in the ten most affected Indian states using daily observations from 9th March to September 20, 2020. The study has used the newly developed Hidden Panel Cointegration test and Nonlinear Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NPARDL) model for asymmetric analysis. Empirical results illustrate an asymmetric relationship between PM 2.5 and COVID-19 cases. More precisely, a 1% change in the positive shocks of PM 2.5 increases the COVID-19 cases by 0.439%. Besides, the estimates of individual states expose the heterogeneous effects of PM 2.5 on COVID-19. The asymmetric causality test of Hatemi-J's (2011) also suggests that the positive shocks on PM 2.5 Granger-cause positive shocks on COVID19 cases. Research findings indicate that air pollution is the root cause of this outbreak; thus, the government should recognize this channel and implement robust policy guidelines to control the spread of environmental pollution.

“…As a provisional instrument for providing economic incentives, the electricity pricing premium works. Both instruments are a mix of "carrots and sticks," but as the climate is widespread among potential carbon-fired power plants, price premium opportunities may appear excessive and be slowly reduced in order to increase the cost-effectiveness in general (Hou and Xu, 2020;Wu B. et al, 2021;Irfan et al, 2021b). Environmental tax can enable the electricity price premium to be implemented effectively by providing additional incentives to install environmental equipment for power stations (Wang L.-W. et al, 2019;Yam et al, 2019).…”

Environmental Benefits From Carbon Tax in the Chinese Carbon Market: A Roadmap to Energy Efficiency in the Post-COVID-19 Era

2022

Because of China’s global responsibilities to address climate change, the country has made a commitment to limiting the growth of future emissions using policy measures, such as funding mitigation research and regulating energy efficiency requirements directly. Extensions of these policies, such as the measures to improve energy efficiency, use of carbon taxes, and changes to the mix of electricity generation in the country, are also of interest to China. This article applied a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to examine the effects of such energy efficiency and climate change policy options in the post-COVID-19 era in the China economy. The study findings show that even modest measures can have significant effects on emissions with marginal economic impacts, given the current level of development in the China electricity generation and transportation sectors. It is estimated that a 5 RMB per ton carbon tax will reduce emissions by 4.1% and GDP by 0.27%. Emissions drop by 8.2% and GDP drops by 0.54% when energy efficiency increases by 2% across the China economy, respectively. As a final result, a 5% shift away from burning coal would reduce emissions by 9.0%, while GDP would increase by 1.3%. It has been shown that even low carbon taxes can encourage a notable cleaner energy system.
