Al-Mulali, Ozturk and Solarin [ 65 ] showed that renewable energy consumption has a significant impact on carbon emissions in Central, Eastern, and Western Europe, East Asia, the Pacific, South Asia, and the Americas.
READ MOREApproximately one percentage-point of CO2 emission growth can be attributed to these sectors, based on output data and emission intensities estimated for solar PV, electric vehicles and batteries. This means that, without the clean technology manufacturing boom, China''s CO2 emissions would have grown by around 4.2%,

Specifically, this paper utilizes Internet penetration and mobile phone penetration as proxies to measure ICT respectively and employs quantile regression method to estimate the
READ MORETo meaningfully reduce emissions and limit global temperature rise, these numbers need to change quickly and be coupled with decisive and efficient implementation. This is especially pressing because, despite progressive NDC revisions by some countries, the world is poised to use 86% of its carbon budget by 2030. 3 3 UNFCCC, NDC
