Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy underpins all human activities and is interconnected with human development: it fuelled and accelerated the first industrial revolution more than two centuries ago and, since then, it has significantly contributed to near-continuous economic growth on a global level. Access to sustainable energy services is also a fundamental condition for sustainable development, in terms of poverty eradication, zero hunger, good health and well-being, and quality education. Therefore, affordable and clean energy is explicitly mentioned as one of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) presented by the United Nations in 2015.

This Special Issue aims to gather manuscripts that identify trends, and new, high-quality theoretical, methodological, or practical approaches focusing on this topic. Manuscripts using, e.g., multi-criteria analysis, spatial analysis, financial analysis, and cluster analysis are especially welcome. Conceptual and empirical papers are invited from scientists, statisticians, economists, and environmentalists that deal with various economic, environmental, management, and other aspects of achieving affordable and clean energy in the near and distant future.

The development of projects using renewable energy sources (RES) necessitates the development of insurance programs and systems. This involves identifying and assessing the risks of renewable energy projects in the transition to new types of energy, determining typical corporate and specific risks, the need and content of the main types, forms of insurance contracts, assessing the financial condition, and choosing insurance organizations and reinsurance programs. This article focuses on the formation of such insurance programs, their interaction with industrial safety systems and ensuring corporate participation in achieving sustainable development goals; as well as selection and assessment of the insurer financial stability and the insurance RES programs economic efficiency.

The construction and commissioning of renewable energy sources is one of the priority areas of energy programs aimed at achieving sustainable development goals. The creation and operation of such sources is associated with significant risks, the management of which is based on real insurance instruments. This article focuses on the formation of a model for assessing the use of insurance in renewable energy projects and presents the business process, stages, risk drivers, and calculation of the economic efficiency of the use of insurance mechanisms in renewable energy projects.

The aim of this study is to examine the empirical cointegration, long-run and short-run dynamics and causal relationships between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in 14 Danube region countries over the period of 1990–2019. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing methodology was applied for each of the examined variables as a dependent variable. Limited by the length of the time series, we excluded two countries from the analysis and obtained valid results for the others for 26 of 36 ARDL models. The ARDL bounds reliably confirmed long-run cointegration between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Economic growth and energy consumption have a significant impact on carbon emissions in the long-run in all of these four countries; in the short-run, the impact of economic growth is significant in Austria. Likewise, when examining cointegration between energy consumption, carbon emissions, and economic growth in the short-run, a significant contribution of CO2 emissions on energy consumptions for seven countries was found as a result of nine valid models. The results contribute to the information base essential for making responsible and informed decisions by policymakers and other stakeholders in individual countries. Moreover, they can serve as a platform for mutual cooperation and cohesion among countries in this region. Full article
