Влияние потребления возобновляемой энергии и технологических инноваций на экологический след в европейских странах / Impact of renewable energy consumption and technological innovation on the ecological footprint in European countries
Аннотация
The growing impact of human activities on the environment requires an assessment of the magnitude of this impact. As population, production and consumption increase, pressures on natural systems are increasing, and the ecological footprint provides a quantitative measure of these burdens. The Ecological Footprint concept reflects the impact of human activities on the environment and is a key indicator of resource use and negative impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity. This comprehensive indicator reflects the demand for natural resources by people, countries and the world.
The aim of this study is to determine the role of the impact of technological progress and sustainable energy consumption on the ecological footprint in European countries. The object of the study is the ecological footprint in European countries and the subject is the impact of technology, renewable energy and environmental policy on the ecological footprint. The database includes observations for 23 European countries for the period from 1990 to 2022.
Given the inherent differences in panel units, this study uses quantiles through moments (QvM) methodology. In addition to the baseline models, the study builds models that investigate the joint effects of technological innovation and environmental policy stringency, renewable energy utilization and environmental conservation policies.
The study shows that the increased consumption of renewable energy does not in itself have a significant impact on reducing environmental impact. However, when combined with strict environmental rules and regulations, it has a significant negative impact on environmental impact. Technological innovation has demonstrated a sustained impact on reducing environmental impact, which is enhanced when strict environmental regulations are enforced.
