Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals' main objective is to promote the use of clean energy in order to lessen climate change and global warming. In this scenario, the need to evaluate whether clean energy can promote sustainability is paramount. Against this background, this study examines how Pakistan's attempts to develop clean and renewable energy access, the upsurge in biofuel energy, and environmental innovations have affected carbon emissions from 1990 to 2022. This research used the dynamic Autoregressive Distribution Lag (DARDL) method to inquire about the long-term interaction between the influencers of CO2 emissions. The study's outcome reveals that increasing clean fuels/technologies for cooking (CFTC), biofuel energy (BF), renewable energy consumption (REN), and environmental innovation (EI) promotes sustainable development by lowering CO2 emissions. More specifically, the findings suggest that a 1% rise in CFTC reduces CO2 by 0.23%, while a 1% escalation in BF drops CO2 by 0.34%. Likewise, a 1% surge in REN and EI triggered reduction in CO2 by 0.051% and 0.18%, respectively. According to the study, government policies must be improved to optimize clean energy infrastructure, accelerate the transition to cleaner technologies, and enhance renewable energy development. Pakistan can achieve emissions reductions and sustainability through targeted initiatives in these areas. It is crucial to persistently observe these intricate dynamics to ensure the dissemination of efficient climate measures.

巴基斯坦的清洁能源倡议:通过环境创新和政策优化推动可持续发展和降低碳排放。
可持续发展目标的主要目标是促进清洁能源的使用,以减缓气候变化和全球变暖。在这种情况下,评估清洁能源是否能促进可持续性是至关重要的。在此背景下,本研究考察了巴基斯坦发展清洁和可再生能源的尝试、生物燃料能源的激增以及环境创新如何影响1990年至2022年的碳排放。本研究采用动态自回归分布滞后(DARDL)方法探讨CO2排放影响因子之间的长期相互作用。研究结果表明,增加清洁燃料/烹饪技术(CFTC)、生物燃料能源(BF)、可再生能源消费(REN)和环境创新(EI)通过降低二氧化碳排放促进可持续发展。更具体地说,研究结果表明,CFTC增加1%可减少0.23%的二氧化碳,而BF增加1%可减少0.34%的二氧化碳。同样,REN和EI每增加1%,二氧化碳排放量分别减少0.051%和0.18%。根据这项研究,必须改善政府政策,以优化清洁能源基础设施,加速向更清洁技术的过渡,并加强可再生能源的发展。巴基斯坦可以通过在这些领域采取有针对性的举措来实现减排和可持续发展。为了确保传播有效的气候措施,持续观察这些复杂的动态是至关重要的。
