Published in late 2023, the index rates each country on a 100-point scale tied to their performance in four categories: greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, energy use and climate policy, with emissions carrying the highest weight, at 40%, to the others’ 20%. However, in the ...
Since the inception of the 21st century, climate policy uncertainty (CPU) has been rising in G7 countries, which can impact economic and environmental sustainability. Therefore, the present empirical study explores the influence of CPU on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in G7 countries. The results...
