While ESG frameworks have gained prominence in assessing sustainability, limited attention has been given to the role of economic instability in shaping national ESG outcomes. By drawing on insights from geography, sociology, and development studies, this research explores how economic disruptions affect the ESG dimensions of sustainability. Using a fixed-effects regression model and multiple robustness checks, the findings indicate that economic crises are associated with significant declines in national ESG performance, with developing countries being more adversely affected than developed ones. The disaggregated analysis reveals that social and environmental dimensions are particularly vulnerable during crises, while governance performance also suffers. Among the different types of crises, sovereign debt and currency crises exert the most severe impacts, reflecting their broader structural consequences on national sustainability efforts. This study highlights the interdependence between economic stability and ESG outcomes, underscoring the need for further research into the mechanisms linking economic disruptions and sustainability metrics. The findings provide policymakers with insights for designing strategies that mitigate the adverse effects of economic crises on sustainability in an increasingly volatile global context.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143705693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2023, worldwide CO<sub>2</sub> releases from energy rose by 1.1 % to a record 37.4 gigatons, largely due to increased coal use and rising energy demand. This paper examines the role of solar energy in curbing emissions by analyzing electricity trends and policies from top solar-producing nations. This review employs a comprehensive methodology, encompassing a literature review (2015–2023), analysis of country-specific solar energy policies, empirical data and case studies, and an evaluation of challenges with future recommendations, to assess global solar energy development. Quantitative data shows that solar energy can significantly reduce emissions, with every megawatt hour of solar electricity reducing approximately 0.5 tons of CO<sub>2</sub>. Case studies from countries like Germany and California demonstrate how robust solar policies contribute to emissions reductions, while examples from India and China highlight the challenges of continued reliance on fossil fuels. The paper emphasizes the importance of widespread strategy frameworks that not only encourage solar adoption but also discusses broader energy system dependencies. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of global solar energy policies and their effectiveness in mitigating climate change. By comparing successful and challenged implementations, it highlights critical factors for policy success and offers actionable recommendations for future solar energy strategies. The research underscores the potential of large-scale solar energy deployment to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions by 2050, thus contributing to a more sustainable and less carbon-intensive future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143679732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reveals that monetary policy uncertainty significantly affects economic growth positively in the long run but shows no significant impact in the short run. On the other hand, geopolitical risk exhibits a significant negative relationship with economic growth over the long term, while its short-term effects are negligible. Research and development expenditures positively impact economic growth in the long run but negatively influence economic growth in the short term. Reflecting innovation outputs, patents contribute positively to economic growth consistently across different time horizons. Furthermore, climate-related risks present complex dynamics: the Transition Risk Index shows a significant negative impact on long-term economic growth while exhibiting a positive influence in the short term.

Moreover, this study also explores the interaction effect of green finance and health expenditures in the ecological footprint function by employing the novel Fourier approximation techniques.

The study applies the bounds test and residual augmented least squares cointegration technique (RALS) for investigating the long-run nexus. Both tests provide mutual reinforcement for each other's results. The long-run elasticity is identified using the ARDL model. The findings show a negative and significant impact of green finance, economic growth, and renewable energy consumption on ecological footprint. Further, the interaction between green finance and health expenditures has a negative impact on environmental quality. Moreover, the causal interactions suggest that green finance enhances the quality of the environment, which is one of the objectives in line with both SDGs 3 and 7. This further suggests that adopting green practices can create a clean environment and thus improve environmental quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143641912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
