Abstract

Agricultural activities produce the significant amounts of greenhouse gas emission. The importance of an ever-changing climate means that digital technologies and their environmental impact are more frequently discussed in the context of the 5th Industrial Revolution. It is important to minimize environmental threats and reduce production waste on the way to a sustainable path. The main scientific aim of the paper is to examine, based on correlation analysis and ANOVA method, the relationship between two variables, digital performance of individual EU countries expressed by the indicator Digital Economy and Society Index and production of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, specifically how digital technologies affect the environment and how to transform digital technologies to supporting the European Green Deal and accelerate sustainable growth. The reasons are that digital technologies can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the results, it has been proven that exists a positive correlation between two variables regarding as a weak correlation between DESI and GHG emissions. Analysis of variance indicates the highly significant differences between variables. Countries with the higher DESI index produce more Greenhouse gas emissions as well but in a weak manner.

欧盟国家数字绩效与温室气体排放的关系:相关分析和方差分析方法

农业活动产生了大量的温室气体排放。不断变化的气候的重要性意味着数字技术及其对环境的影响在第五次工业革命的背景下被更频繁地讨论。在通往可持续发展道路的道路上，最大限度地减少环境威胁和减少生产浪费是很重要的。本文的主要科学目的是基于相关性分析和方差分析方法，检验两个变量之间的关系，即用数字经济和社会指数表示的个别欧盟国家的数字表现与温室气体排放量的生产，特别是数字技术如何影响环境，以及如何将数字技术转化为支持欧洲绿色协议和加速可持续增长。原因是数字技术可以在减少温室气体排放方面发挥重要作用。根据研究结果，已经证明两个变量之间存在正相关性，即DESI和GHG排放之间的弱相关性。方差分析表明变量之间存在高度显著差异。DESI指数较高的国家也产生了更多的温室气体排放，但排放量较弱。

期刊介绍： The international journal AGRIS on-line Papers in Economics and Informatics is a scholarly open access, blind peer-reviewed by two reviewers, interdisciplinary, and fully refereed scientific journal. The journal is published quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of the current year by the Faculty of Economics and Management, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague. AGRIS on-line Papers in Economics and Informatics covers all areas of agriculture and rural development: -agricultural economics -agribusiness -agricultural policy and finance -agricultural management -agriculture''s contribution to rural development -information and communication technologies -information and database systems -e-business and internet marketing -ICT in environment -GIS, spatial analysis and landscape planning The journal provides a leading forum for an interaction and research on the above-mentioned topics of interest. The journal serves as a valuable resource for academics, policy makers and managers seeking up-to-date research on all areas of the subject. The journal prefers scientific papers by international teams of authors who deal with problems concerning the focus of our journal in the world-wide scope with relation to Europe.
