The 2021 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as COP26 was held in Glasgow, United Kingdom. Representatives of civil societies and leaders from around the world gather to confront the climate change issue. The participants of the conference emphasized the role of social, economic and technological change backed by investment to tackle climate change. The participation in COP26 shows that the global community is committed to reducing global greenhouse gases emissions. Among the others, the main outcome of the conference – the Glasgow Climate Pact – shows the commitment by the participants of more than 200 countries towards keeping the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.
In this context, it is imperative to investigate how energy efficiency and clean energy transition can achieve the COP26 commitments. Therefore, efficient pathways to obtain the goals of COP26 and suitable policies that can assist in achieving the goals are mandatory. The adoption of energy efficiency measures has a key role to play in clean energy transition, relative both to residential and productive sectors. Existing energy efficiency technologies may not be adopted due to different barriers; thus, public policies would be needed to enhance and sustain their implementation.
This research topic will focus on analyzing pathways for policies in achieving the clean energy transition post-COP26. In addition, dealing with the impact assessment of policies related to energy efficiency and energy transition towards low carbon or carbon neutrality. How countries can achieve the commitments made in COP26 to reduce greenhouse gases emissions?
We welcome research papers matching the following themes:
• Energy efficiency in achieving the net-zero emission target in the context of COP26;
• Theoretical and practical implications of energy efficiency policies;
• Environmental benefits of energy efficiency;
• Energy efficiency and total CO2 emissions;
• Carbon capture and recent Energy efficiency technologies;
• The role of globalization in achieving the COP26 targets;
• Possible role of technology innovation in achieving the net-zero CO2 emissions;
• Role of financial inclusion and innovation in achieving COP26 targets;
• The nexus of foreign direct investment and a green environment;
• Macroeconomic uncertainties and energy efficiency.
