The primary aim of this study is to assess the evolution and trajectory of research in the field of renewable energy investments, with a view to informing effective policy-making and strategic planning. The study employed a scientometric analysis covering the period from 2000 to 2024. An initial dataset of 20,141 documents was retrieved from the Scopus database.

These tools enabled a detailed examination of research patterns, thematic developments, and scholarly networks within the field. The analysis explores the dynamics of renewable energy investment research, offering a global perspective on strategies, policy instruments, and regulatory frameworks across different regions. In addition, the content analysis yields key insights into policy-relevant factors, investment evaluation techniques, the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs), and emerging economic and investment trends.

Carbon emissions increase significantly as demand for transportation services rises, especially in emerging economies like Bangladesh.

However, decarbonization strategies and initiatives face numerous challenges in emerging economies, where transport infrastructure is still developing and heavily reliant on fossil fuels. This study, therefore, identifies and examines the barriers that emerging economies like Bangladesh encounter when implementing decarbonization strategies. First, based on literature research and expert validation, the study identified sixteen of the most relevant barriers. Then, an integrated approach combining the Bayes theorem and the Best-Worst Method (BWM) was utilized to evaluate and rank these barriers. The results obtained from this study indicate that among the sixteen barriers assessed, the top three are investment risks, high dependence on fossil fuels, and poor purchasing and expenditure power of residents (having a global weight of 0.0972, 0.0863, and 0.0847, respectively). These findings are expected to assist policymakers in emerging economies in developing structured strategies and making more targeted investment decisions that promote decarbonization in the transportation sector. They will also facilitate a smoother transition towards a sustainable transportation system and a cleaner future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"4 4","pages":"Article 100256"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144169213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the influence of Weibo discussions on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics on the stock performance of 141 Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, utilizing 4,320 hot search topics to analyze market reactions. Our findings corroborate the significant role of social media as a digital citizen square where stakeholders not traditionally engaged in financial dialogues can significantly impact market perceptions and valuations. We find that negative discussions markedly harm company valuations, while positive sentiments foster minor beneficial effects on stock prices. Crucially, our research highlights the complex functionality of ESG disclosures as both a shield and a potential risk: while they can mitigate negative repercussions during crises of negative publicity, they also set high transparency standards that may increase scrutiny and potentially lead to adverse market outcomes during stable periods. This study extends the signaling theory to social media contexts and provides empirical support for ESG's role in risk mitigation, offering nuanced insights into stakeholder theory and ESG communication strategies in the digital age.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"4 4","pages":"Article 100260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144313431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on institutional theory, the analysis highlights how gender disparities in leadership, access to resources, and decision-making processes hinder sustainable development. Employing fixed-effects regressions, robustness checks, and alternative empirical models, the findings reveal that higher gender inequality significantly reduces ESG performance, with the strongest effects observed in the governance dimension. Heterogeneity analyses show that the impact varies by income level, region, and political regime, with middle-income countries, Latin America, and democracies experiencing the most pronounced effects. Additional covariates, such as income inequality and dependency ratios, confirm the robustness of the results and highlight the interplay between gender disparities and broader socio-economic factors. The study underscores that addressing gender inequality is critical for achieving sustainability goals and provides tailored policy recommendations, including enhancing women's participation in leadership, integrating gender equity into governance reforms, and adopting long-term, context-specific strategies. By centering gender equity in ESG frameworks, this research advances the understanding of sustainability as a multidimensional challenge that requires systemic change and inclusive governance.
