Abstract:Thanks to its enormous untapped water potential, Brazil provides its electricity matrix with more than 60% hydroelectric power. This technology has had controversial impacts, which questioned its sustainability and stressed its likelihood to jeopardize the development of affected areas. We analyze here one of the main electricity producers: the state of Pará. By using a human development perspective, we integrate the Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) with indicators of water and energy access through a … Show more
“…This paper focuses on the selected economic policies of the top five countries and Kazakhstan, in what may be considered a specific research limitation. It must be noted that the transition to renewable energy sources and a more circular economy is under discussion worldwide, e.g., [74][75][76][77][78]. The factors that facilitate this transition and hinder it are complex, and economic policy, despite being very important, is just one of many driving forces.…”
The article describes the world’s experience in developing the solar industry. It discusses the mechanisms of state support for developing renewable energy sources in the cases of five countries that are the most successful in this area—China, the United States, Japan, India, and Germany. Furthermore, it contains a brief review of state policy in producing electricity by renewable energy facilities in Kazakhstan. This paper uses statistical information from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the International Energy Agency (IEA), British Petroleum (BP), and the Renewable Energy Network (REN21), and peer-reviewed sources. The research methodology includes analytical research and evaluation methods to examine the current state of solar energy policy, its motivators and incentives, as well as the prospects for its development in Kazakhstan and in the world. Research shows that solar energy has a huge development potential worldwide and is sure to take its place in gross electricity production. This paper focuses on the selected economic policies of the top five countries and Kazakhstan, in what may be considered a specific research limitation. Future research suggestions for the expansion of Renewable Energy (RE) in Kazakhstan could include analysing the impact of introducing dedicated policies and incentives for solar systems and exploring the benefits and challenges of implementing large RE zones with government–business collaboration.

The Human Development Index (HDI index) is considered a summary index of the perception of human well-being in a selected economy. It consists of 3 sub-dimensions: the population's education, health and income. It is considered a vital indicator of the perception of the state of human development, and based on it, countries are compared in the mentioned areas. Our contribution aims to analyze the position of European countries in the context of the HDI index and, at the same time, to apply expanded indicators of education and health. Subsequently, we apply these new, supplemented dimensions in comparing the selected countries and in the context of hybrid h. Within the methodology, we use the methods of agglomerative cluster analysis and paired T-test.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
