| dc.description.abstract | Within the framework of ASEAN countries, this study explores the complex
links between green technology development, green energy use, and greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. The goal of the study is to investigate the paradoxical finding that
higher usage of green energy and greater acceptance of green technology are linked to
short-term increases in greenhouse gas emissions. It also looks at how FDI affects
emissions in a complicated way, supporting the Pollution Haven Hypothesis. The study
also evaluates the quantitative effects of international trade dynamics and energy
efficiency programmes on the decrease of emissions in ASEAN nations. By utilising a
thorough theoretical framework and reliable estimating methods, this research adds to
our knowledge of the intricate relationships that exist between economic factors,
technological progress, and environmental sustainability. The results show that green
energy consumption, green technology development, and greenhouse gas emissions are
positively correlated. This suggests that the early investment period needed for
sustainable transitions is captured by the findings. However, the long-term benefits of
these initiatives in reducing emissions are expected to be substantial. Furthermore, the
research corroborates the Pollution Haven Hypothesis, emphasizing the need for robust
environmental regulations and strategic screening of FDI to promote green technology
transfer and mitigate adverse environmental impacts. The paper also emphasises the
significance of grid modernization, trade policies that support environmental
sustainability, and energy efficiency initiatives. This research has important
ramifications for international cooperation initiatives, investment plans, and
policymaking related to sustainable development and climate change mitigation in the
ASEAN area. This work opens the door for well-informed decision-making and the
creation of customised strategies that strike a balance between environmental
preservation and economic advancement by clarifying the intricate dynamics behind
greenhouse gas emissions. | en_US |
