“…This study examines the relationship between renewable energy usage and technological innovation on environmental sustainability in India using annual data from the World Bank (World Development Indicator/WDI) covering the years 1990-2020. Further, this study is carried out following the novelty of the works conducted by Bagchi (2016), Bagchi (2017), Bagchi et al (2020), and Bagchi & Paul (2023).…”

Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at a breakneck pace is a serious problem for sustainable development. To ensure climate-protected sustainable development, we have to promote safe and sustainable energy for the future. Here, the production and consumption of renewable energy is having a vital role. Apart from this, technological innovation is also crucial to taste the benefits of renewable energy and reduce the emission of different harmful gases. Against this backdrop, the present study intends to investigate the contribution of technological innovation along with the use of renewable energy in ensuring environmental sustainability in India using the ARDL model. Further, the Granger causality test is also performed in this study to check the direction of causality among the variables. The results of this study reveal that renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions in India in both the short and long run. This means that using renewable energy would help India to bring environmental sustainability through reducing CO2 emissions. However, a positive relationship is noted between technological innovation and CO2 emissions. This may imply innovation in technology in India is unable to act as an instrument to bring environmental sustainability.

“…Prices for various goods and services decreased as a result of decreased customer demand, coupled with supply chain disruptions. For instance, the decrease in crude oil price was revealed to have a long-run relationship with the economic turmoil caused by COVID-19 [13]. (Bagchi et.al 2020) Between April and June 2020, negative month-over-month changes of Consumer Price Index (CPI) was noted according to US Bureau of Labour Statistics.…”

The COVID-19 pandemics, have sparked unprecedent crises worldwide, reminding the governments of the economic turmoil of the 1930s Great Depression. Effective government interventions are required urgently to combat the severe volatility and initiate recovery. How could the lessons from the historical policies provide crucial insights for the contemporary challenge of the US economy? This paper examines the efficacy of the New Deal and fiscal and monetary responses of the US government following the COVID-19 pandemic through comparative analysis of several macroeconomic variables including GDP growth, Unemployment rate and Consumer Price Index. By assessing the successes, limitations and long-term implications between the stimulus measures for addressing distinct challenges of the two periods, this research emphasizes the significance of New Deal’s ideas in promoting the comprehensive, flexible and equitable initiatives under the contemporary context. Furthermore, this study attempts to convey informative policy recommendations for addressing the subsequent concerns arising in the post-covid economy, as well as provide feasible guidance for future policy improvements.

“…The global health crisis of COVID-19 has imposed social isolation where citizens of different countries are prohibited from going out and carrying out their usual activities, thus harming the global economic situation [ 70 ]. The consequences of the health restrictions suddenly put in place are the reduction in tourist activity, the weakening of industrial deliverability, the fall in demand from abroad, the dismissal of people, and the reduction of the human budget [ 85 ]. To alleviate the economic impact of the pandemic, we recommend (1) building trust among citizens by authorities by communicating honestly, (2) improving the quality and access to essential services through the development of digital payments to reach vulnerable populations who work in the informal economy or do not have a bank account, (3) protecting businesses and families from the risk of eviction and bankruptcy, (4) the search for long-term social, economic, and environmental cobenefits as part of their stimulus investments, (5) the creation of jobs for the benefit of the unemployed and young graduates, (6) taking into account the capacity of a project to directly replace failing demand and its impact on import levels or the country's trade balance, (7) the organization of interventions to strengthen the capacities of societies and economies to face an external shock and to overcome it like the current COVID-19 pandemic and also other forms of disasters' natural factors and the future effects of climate change, (8) support and generalization of green technologies by investing in networks that facilitate the use of renewable energies and electric vehicles or low-tech solutions, such as reforestation or restoration and management of landscapes and watersheds without incurring significant costs for the economy in the decades to come due to the depreciation of assets, and (9) supporting politicians on the road to recovery.…”

The end of the year 2019 was marked by the introduction of a third highly pathogenic coronavirus, after SARS-CoV (2003) and MERS-CoV (2012), in the human population which was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Indeed, the pandemic of COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 19) has evolved at an unprecedented rate: after its emergence in Wuhan, the capital of the province of Hubei of the People's Republic of China, in December 2019, the total number of confirmed cases did not cease growing very quickly in the world. In this manuscript, we have provided an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on health, and we have proposed different nutrients suitable for infected patients to boost their immune systems. On the other hand, we have described the advantages and disadvantages of COVID-19 on the environment including the quality of water, air, waste management, and energy consumption, as well as the impact of this pandemic on human psychology, the educational system, and the global economy. In addition, we have tried to come up with some solutions to counter the negative repercussions of the pandemic.
