“…The global installed capacity of RE reached more than 200 GW in 2019, with a significant share by the developing countries (IAEA 2020). Fang et al (2022), Rahman andIslam (2020), andFofack andDerick (2020) indicated that the largest share of renewables is contributed in the electricity sector; however, the heat and transportation sectors are still far from the desired goals. The heat and transportation sector contributes 80% of the total energy consumption.…”

“…Rules-based approaches are linked with the application of a top-down model, which raises concerns pertaining to stakeholders' participation. Right-based approaches revolve around the rights, participation, and active engagement of all kind of relevant actors and the political economy (Follesdal, Christiansen, and Piattoni 2004;Visseren-Hamakers and Glasbergen 2007;Saunders and Reeve 2010;Stone 2011;Kleine 2014;Pierre and Peters 2020). Besides, the "triplewin" notion of CCD is participatory in nature and involves multisector and multi-actor approaches (Mitchell and Maxwell 2010).…”

Modeling energy governance index for the adequacy of policy, legal, and institutional response measures for climate compatible development

Climate compatible and sustainable expansion of energy resources is a major global challenge. Developing countries, with inadequate resources and incoherent policies, and legal and institutional frameworks must strive hard to achieve targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while keeping track of Nationally Determined Contributions for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions abatement. Inclusive governance is quite complex due to the interplay of informal and formal systems, rules-based to rights-based approaches, and arrangements in national to local scenarios vis-à-vis methodological limitations. In this context, this study aims at developing a governance index for assessing climate compatible development (CCD) by taking case of the energy sector in Pakistan. The study adopted a two-step approach to develop and validate a methodological framework for assessing the adequacy of governance. In the first step, a multivariate analysis model was developed using principle (CP-1), criteria (09), and 43 indicators (PCIs) through stakeholder involvement. In the second step, the model was deployed by combining the Multi Criteria Decision Analysis method with statistical analysis of the dataset. Data were collected from federal and provincial capitals as well as ten districts through a structured scoring matrix consisting of all 43 indicators. The sample population was based on key informant interviews (340), and experts (17) who were engaged through focus group discussion at federal, provincial, and district levels. Respondents were asked to score against each indicator on a ratio scale, which was then aggregated to develop a governance index score. The findings reveal the dearth of a preemptive and comprehensive governance to address climate compatible development in the energy sector in all tiers of constituencies in Pakistan. There is a need for coherent and inclusive policy, and a legal and institutional framework. This study’s outcome authenticates the findings of United Nations SDGs Report 2020 that efforts to achieve sustainable energy targets are not up to scale and stresses the need to speed up the efforts and development of the associated governance framework for renewable energy to achieve climate compatible and SDGs.

“…The use of modern econometric techniques, such as NARDL, confirmed the non-linear and asymmetric effects of economic growth and economic variables on CO2 emissions [31,32]. The researchers noted that technological progress, education, and globalization can mitigate the negative effects of pollution resulting from economic development [33][34][35].…”

Three Seas Initiative (3SI) is still an underresearched area and is particularly important due to historical circumstances and economic backwardness. A study was carried out to assess the impact of renewable energy and production generated by the agricultural sector on CO2 emissions in 3SI countries between 2008 and 2020. The study used panel data analysis based on the two-step system generalised method of moments (GMM) and the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test. The results show that a 1% increase in the value-added generated by agriculture increases CO2 emissions in the countries studied by 0.11%. In contrast, a 1% increase in GDP leads to a 0.29% increase in CO2 emissions. Conversely, when renewable energy consumption increases by 1%, CO2 emissions fall by 0.25% in the countries studied. One way to reduce CO2 emissions from agricultural production in the short term is to increase the share of renewables, which, incidentally, is in line with EU action.

“…Crop production contributes substantially to climate change through activities associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or water, air and soil pollution (Fofack and Derick, 2020). The inappropriate and excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers can generate high nitrate contents in groundwater, causing environmental problems and contributing to the generation of GHG (Zheng et al ., 2020).…”

“…The inappropriate and excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers can generate high nitrate contents in groundwater, causing environmental problems and contributing to the generation of GHG (Zheng et al ., 2020). This scenario demands the use of sustainable strategies to improve the yield and quality of the harvested fruits and help the adaptation of crops (Del Buono, 2020; Fofack and Derick, 2020).…”

Physiological behaviour and nutritional status of coffee (Coffea arabica L. var. Castillo) trees in response to biochar application

Applying coffee pulp biochar (BC) can be a complementary practice to the application of chemical fertilizers (CF) of crops; however, little evidence of its combined effects on coffee cultivation has been reported. A field trial was carried out during two evaluation years (2019 and 2020) to analyse the effect of the application of different BC doses (0, 4, 8 and 16 t/ha) in combination with four levels of fertilization (0, 33, 66 and 100% of the nutritional requirements) on physiological responses of 3-year-old coffee (Coffea arabica L. var. Castillo) trees. The results indicated that trees with 0 t/ha BC and 0% CF showed the lowest values in all the physiological variables studied (gs = 269.9 and 126.8 mmol/m2/s; Chl = 61.7 and 54.7 At-leaf readings; yield = 0.21 and 0.22 kg of dry parchment coffee (DPC)/tree for 2019 and 2020, respectively). Coffee trees treated with 8 t/ha BC and CF levels of 100% registered the highest results in gs (424.9 and 366.9 mmol/m2/s), Chl (71.1 and 69.8 At-leaf readings), yield (0.41 and 0.57 kg of DPC/tree) in 2019 and 2020, respectively. In conclusion, the application of BC from coffee pulp, especially at a dose of 8 t/ha, generates a positive effect on yield, gs, leaf nutrient concentration and Chl of coffee trees. The use of BC can be an alternative to complement the mineral nutrition of commercial coffee crops to help reduce the application of CF.
