Shaping a sustainable future: The impact of board gender diversity on clean energy use and the moderating role of environmental, social and governance controversies
In: Corporate social responsibility and environmental management, Volume 30, Issue 6, p. 2731-2746
ISSN: 1535-3966
AbstractThis study investigates how gender‐diverse boards are related to the adoption of clean energy and examines whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies have an impact on this link. The study analyzes 2395 firm‐year observations from 13 European countries from 2006 to 2021. Drawing on the gender socialization theory and diversity theory, the research reveals a favorable effect of board gender diversity on a company's utilization of clean energy. It also demonstrates that ESG controversies play a significant role in moderating this relationship. Furthermore, the study affirms the critical mass theory by indicating that companies with at least three female board members exhibit a greater use of clean energy. The findings are robust to various methods, such as controlling for endogeneity problems, propensity score matching, sub‐sample analysis, and alternative econometric models. This study's implications are important for stakeholders, policymakers, and managers. It suggests that having a gender‐diverse board can increase the adoption of clean energy, benefiting a company's reputation and attractiveness to stakeholders. Policymakers can use these findings to design policies that encourage gender diversity on boards and achieve environmental goals, while managers can make informed decisions about board composition and clean energy adoption.

Green Energy Resources, Products Recycling, and Clean Environment
In: The journal of environment & development: a review of international policy, Volume 33, Issue 2, p. 175-195
ISSN: 1552-5465
This research paper explores the relationship between green resources, product recycling, CO2 emission, and clean environment, using time series data spanning from 1990 to 2021. The sample of the study was the green energy sector of Pakistan and clean energy was taken as the dependent variable while green energy resources, product recycling, and CO2 emissions were chosen as independent variables. Correlation matrix and multiple regression analysis were applied to determine the relationship between green energy resources, product recycling, CO2 emissions, and clean environment. The results of the study show that there is significant positive relationship between green energy resources and product recycling with clean environment but negative association between CO2 emissions and clean environment. These results provide valuable insight for policy makers to focus on development of green energy resources and encourage products recycling as an effective strategy to mitigate the depletion of natural resources and improvement of clean environment to attain sustainability in the energy sector.

TV Energy Consumption Trends and Energy-Efficiency Improvement Options
The SEAD initiative aims to transform the global market by increasing the penetration of highly efficient equipment and appliances. SEAD is a government initiative whose activities and projects engage the private sector to realize the large global energy savings potential from improved appliance and equipment efficiency. SEAD seeks to enable high-level global action by informing the Clean Energy Ministerial dialogue as one of the initiatives in the Global Energy Efficiency Challenge. In keeping with its goal of achieving global energy savings through efficiency, SEAD was approved as a task within the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) in January 2010. SEAD partners work together in voluntary activities to: (1) ?raise the efficiency ceiling? by pulling super-efficient appliances and equipment into the market through cooperation on measures like incentives, procurement, awards, and research and development (R&D) investments; (2) ?raise the efficiency floor? by working together to bolster national or regional policies like minimum efficiency standards; and (3) ?strengthen the efficiency foundations? of programs by coordinating technical work to support these activities. Although not all SEAD partners may decide to participate in every SEAD activity, SEAD partners have agreed to engage actively in their particular areas of interest through commitment of financing, staff, consultant experts, and other resources. In addition, all SEAD partners are committed to share information, e.g., on implementation schedules for and the technical detail of minimum efficiency standards and other efficiency programs. Information collected and created through SEAD activities will be shared among all SEAD partners and, to the extent appropriate, with the global public. As of April 2011, the governments participating in SEAD are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Commission, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. More information on SEAD is available from its website at http://www.superefficient.org/.

On the optimal timing of switching from non-renewable to renewable resources: dirty vs clean energy sources and the relative efficiency of generators
We develop a model on the optimal timing of switching from non-renewable to renewable energy sources with endogenous extraction choices under emission taxes and abatement costs. We assume that non-renewable resources are "dirty" inputs and create environmental degradation, while renewable resources are more environmentally friendly, although they may be more or less productive than the exhaustible resources. The value of the switching option from non-renewable to renewable resources is characterized. Numerical applications show that an increase in emission taxes, abatement costs or demand elasticity slows down the adoption of substitutable renewable resources, while an increase in the natural rate of resource regeneration, the stock of renewable resources or the relative productivity parameter speeds up the investment in the green technology.
