“…The past decade has seen a particularly rapid increase in research combining national development strategies and the transition to green or sustainable development, producing heterogeneous results in terms of progress [3][4][5][6]47,48] and different ways of achieving it, such as renewal, diversification, importation, and creation [7]. Despotovic et al [49] stated that post-transition European countries have a lower level of sustainable competitiveness and that heterogeneity also applies to the rest of Europe.…”

“…Despite the strong commitment that the EU is making, through various communications and recommendations to climate neutrality in the common European space, there are still strong divergences between the results obtained by different countries [3][4][5][6]. Giannakitsidou et al [4] found divergences between Western and Eastern Europe.…”

“…To solve the divergence problem, EU countries are searching for ways to fashion new green growth paths, promote green shifts [7] and allocate large amounts of funding to achieve better results in adapting to climate change and reducing and mitigating its negative effects [6]. Government intervention is seen as a particularly important factor in driving the transition toward climate neutrality in order to prevent engineering and technological barriers from obstructing the transition [8].…”

“…Various economic shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukraine war, has led to a new trend in research: climate change and resilience. For example, Kotseva-Tikova and Dvorak [6] analyzed the green transformation and stabilization of EU member states' economies after the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19, and found that these countries need to take further actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to Škrinjarić [5] and Hansen, and Coenen [25], there is a need for more systematic research into how place specificity and scale influence transition processes.…”

The EU climate policy affects the competitiveness of both the European Union (EU) as a whole and individual member states, leading countries to search for new knowledge to increase their national competitiveness. However, there has been little empirical research about the implementation of green competitive strategies in the common European space from different countries’ perspectives. Using the Porter Hypothesis and system theory, this paper explores national competitive strategies that align with climate neutrality in the EU. We used index construction, clusterization, principal components analysis and trajectories change analysis to analyze data from the 24 EU countries from a 10-year period (2012–2021). The main findings reveal three green competitiveness profiles and five green competitiveness progress strategies in the EU. We found that EU countries have different strategies and conditions in terms of their transition towards climate neutrality and competitiveness, which ultimately lead to different rates of progress. Our results provide an initial basis for the development of nation-specific policies to achieve green competitiveness.

“…The scope of the European Green Deal was developed to ensure sustainability in EU countries; it is aimed to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2030 in EU countries and to be carbon neutral until 2050 [1,2]. A gradual transition to CBAM, which entered into force in October 2023, will be achieved within three years.…”

This study provides weight and normalization reference information for declaring the environmental information of building materials produced and exported in Turkey. Reference information was first determined for the global warming potential based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is the subject of the European Union Green Deal Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). For a more holistic approach, reference information is also recommended for environmental impact categories acidification, air pollution, ecological toxicity, eutrophication, fossil fuel depletion, human health, indoor air quality, land use, ozone depletion, photochemical smog formation, and water depletion, in addition to GHG emissions. Reference information is determined based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology defined in the international standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Semi-structured interviews were held with twenty-one industry stakeholders in Turkey to determine the weight reference values. The results obtained from the semi-structured interviews were combined using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Normalization reference information was determined by compiling Turkey’s national emission values. The suggested reference information has been tested using a case study. Total environmental impact scores were calculated for floor coverings and exterior wall finishes, including global warming potentials based on GHG emissions, and eleven other environmental impact categories. The findings support the need to use regional reference information in Turkey. The reference information recommended in this study can be used both in declarations within the scope of the EU Green Deal and in other possible environmental impact declarations resulting from building materials.

In the era of persistent globalization, climate governance has emerged as a prominent concern within both the theoretical community and government departments of diverse nations. Of particular interest in academic research is the adverse effect of climate shocks on the global economy. This paper employs average temperature as a surrogate indicator for climate shocks and examines the influence of temperature fluctuations on inflation levels using a balanced panel dataset from 1995 to 2021. The findings indicate a positive association between temperature change and inflation within the country, which remains consistent even after subjecting the analysis to multiple robustness tests. Furthermore, accounting for heterogeneity reveals variations in the magnitude of response of inflation levels to temperature fluctuations. Regarding the analysis of underlying mechanisms, the study underscores the significance of energy demand as a pivotal pathway influencing inflationary pressures at the national level. Lastly, by incorporating GDP per capita as a threshold, the research reveals a nonlinear relationship between temperature change and inflation levels.
