Introduction to the Handbook on Green Growth

An investigation of the interlinkages between green growth dimensions, the energy trilemma, and sustainable development goals: Evidence from G7 and E7 economies

“…In the past decade, numerous researchers have argued that classical economic frameworks will have to be radically altered before such pressing social and economic issues as decreasing environmental quality, imbalanced ecosystems, and water pollution can effectively be addressed. The concepts of green growth and sustainable development were developed as a consequence of these arguments (Daly, 1996;Jänicke, 2012;Bartelmus, 2013;Kasztelan, 2017;Fouquet, 2019;O'Neill, 2020;OECD, 2020;Abid et al, 2022). The 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals acknowledges that efforts to reduce wealth disparities need to be balanced with those that encourage sustainable development (GSDR, 2019).…”

“…Nevertheless, a fully sustainable economy is one in which economic activity does not harm biological ecosystems (D'Amato, 2021;Capasso et al, 2019;Sachs et al, 2023). The most recent analyses of the green economic paradigm address its theoretical underpinnings, the political context, and green growth and sustainable development initiatives (Bartelmus, 2013;Kasztelan, 2017;Heshmati, 2018;Fouquet, 2019;Capasso et al, 2019;Terzić, 2023). Green growth refers to promoting economic growth and development while conserving the natural resources that deliver the environmental and resource benefits essential for human wellbeing (OECD, 2017).…”

“…The present study employs green growth dimensions, the energy trilemma index, and the SDG index to draw attention to the specific characteristics of green growth in implementing ecological solutions, transitioning to green energy, and bringing about sustainable growth and development. Over the past ten years, a sizable number of researchers have been investigating green growth, sustainable growth and development, (Acosta et al, 2020;Abid et al, 2022;Capasso et al, 2019;Jänicke, 2012;Fernandes et al, 2021;Bowen et al, 2018;Fouquet, 2019;Nogueira, 2019;Sachs et al, 2019;Sachs et al, 2023;OECD, 2017;Zhang & Zhu, 2020;GGGI, 2022;Terzić, 2022;Terzić, 2023a;Terzić, 2023b), the energy trilemma, and the green energy transition (WEC, 2022a;Jain & Goswani, 2021;Khan et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2022).…”

Perovskite Paradigm Shift: A Green Revolution with Lead-Free Alternatives in Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

“…Another illustrious example is the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in which over 190 nations pledged their dedication to curtailing CO 2 emissions. , Indeed, climate change is becoming a salient topic across diverse spheres and constituencies, where carbon reduction efforts and greener energy consumption are firmly moving onto the agenda of government, research, and industry. International conferences such as the International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization (ICCDU) and the Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT) are being held regularly to serve as platforms for information sharing on related research and technologies, while international institutions such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) have also been established to support CO 2 -related research and development efforts. − Therefore, it is anticipated that CO 2 conversion technology will persist as an area of significant research interest and investigation.…”
