Abstract Against the backdrop of regional coordinated development and China’s “dual carbon” strategic objectives, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region faces an urgent need to transition from its traditional economic growth model, which is heavily reliant on resource consumption. This study investigates the decoupling dynamics among economic growth, energy consumption, and carbon emissions in the BTH region, along with the underlying driving forces, aiming to provide valuable insights for achieving the “dual carbon” targets and fostering high-quality regional development. First, the Tapio decoupling model is employed to analyze the decoupling relationships between economic growth, energy consumption, and carbon… More >

Abstract Global climate change has created substantial difficulties in the areas of sustainability, development, and environmental conservation due to the widespread dependence on fossil fuels for energy production. Nevertheless, the promotion of renewable energy programs has the potential to significantly expedite endeavors aimed at tackling climate change. Thus, it is essential to conduct a thorough analysis that considers the financial aspects to fully understand the main hurdles that are preventing the advancement of renewable energy initiatives. Italy is a leading country in the worldwide deployment of renewable energy. The objective of this research is to assess… More > Graphic Abstract
