“…In fact, the strength of Marx's sociological theory lies mainly in the fact that it is the first organized case in explaining social construction and social change. It has also contributed to the interpretation of the dialectical relationship between the basic structure and the superstructure if the functionalists see that the equilibrium model, which analyzes the social environment based on its functional role to maintain the current state, and accordingly the deviation represents the problem of the system, and on the contrary, we find that the Marxist theory emphasizes the importance of social change where he sees conflict as a prerequisite for change in society 6 .…”

The aims of this study are two folds: First to examine the impact of renewable energy technologies on sustainability development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Second to test the awareness and cultural acceptance of societies in MENA region of the need to preserve the environment and reduce pollution by paving the way for finding alternatives to energy and developing emerging energy, which in turn will contribute to sustainable development and preserve the environment from pollution due to energy produced through fossil sources. The method of the current study relied on both primary data and secondary data. Hence, a questionnaire survey was developed to collect the required data. While, secondary data sources are obtained through the Web site finance.yahoo.com. The data processing techniques were carried out using Stata 16 software and using the Multiple Linear Regression method. The sample of the study consisted of 653 people from different MENA countries, i.e. Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The results revealed two types of data, quantitative data and qualitative data. Quantitative data is excluded from the secondary data analysis that renewable energy technologies have a positive effect on sustainability development in the MENA region. Qualitative data; as the survey includes some open ended questions to give an avenue to respondents to provide further feedback regarding their experience and perception of renewable energy. The results revealed a high degree of cultural perception of Renewable Energy Technologies of the communities in the MENA. Also, people are aware and ready to afford the cost and efforts to generate clean energy that promote sustainability. This study recommends that governments should invest in renewable energy and highlights the urgent need for clean energy to emerge in the MENA region. JEL classifications Q43. Q32. O13

“…The world's energy crisis is growing at a shocking rate owing to severe environmental problems; therefore, the development of economical and environment-friendly energy sources is essential nowadays. [1][2][3] Hydrogen energy is an attractive source of renewable energy due to its clean, sustainable, and environment-friendly features. [4][5][6] In the past few decades, non-renewable sources have been used to produce H 2 ; however, this depletes fossil fuel supplies and causes serious environmental issues.…”

“…In this case, using UAVs can improve labor productivity and protect producers. Furthermore, plant protection using UAVs is based on quantification and precision, enabling the strict control of the dosage and spraying range of a pesticide, reducing contamination of the surrounding areas, and improving environmental benefits 20 . This effort requires investigating the sustainable production problem in terms of three dimensions: food safety, production safety, and ecological safety.…”

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased agricultural productivity, achieved food security, and eased the pressure associated with environmental degradation and population growth. However, consumer sentiment remains unclear. The results show that pressures regarding food safety, production safety, and ecological safety have different degrees of positive impact on perceived benefits but no significant impact on perceived barriers. They strongly influence both perceived benefits to the adoption of UAV plant protection agricultural products. Perceived benefits demonstrated a mediating role between the three safety pressures and the adoption of UAVs. Lay beliefs showed a positive moderating effect on perceived benefits and obstacles to the adoption of UAV-based plant protection products. Based on these findings, this paper concludes that consumers are developing new consumer ethics that integrate concepts of food safety, safe production, and regional environmental protection with their acceptance of new technology, which is directly dependent on the combined effect of environmental and consumer ethics. To promote sustainable development, policies must be further optimized on this original basis.
