Studies in the Nexus Between Energy, Environment and Economic Growth

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The interplay between energy consumption, environmental sustainability, and economic growth is a critical area of research, particularly in the context of global climate change and sustainable development goals. Technological advancements, policy interventions, and innovative economic models have the potential to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, ensuring a balance between prosperity and ecological preservation. This topic thus calls for rigorous empirical investigations and theoretical models that explore, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• The trade-offs and synergies between energy use, environmental impact, and growth;
• The role of clean energy transitions in achieving both economic and ecological sustainability;
• The effectiveness of policy instruments (e.g., carbon taxes, subsidies for renewables) in shaping energy–environment–economy dynamics.

By advancing research in this nexus, scholars can contribute to evidence-based policymaking, ensuring that economic development aligns with long-term environmental resilience.
