Global CO emissions have been an essential topic of the environmental discussion. Still, empirical data is needed to support arguments that high-quality government actions could reduce these emissions. By analyzing data from 137 nations from 2000 to 2020, we offer strong evidence that state policies focused on promoting healthy ecosystems, sustainable economic growth, and transcendent legislative changes are capable of decreasing CO2 emissions. Based on our findings, there are essentially three critical institutional factors that need to be improved for environmental policies to be efficient: the concept of law, which protects citizens' intellectual property rights; citizens' speech, which allows them to participate in elections and represent themselves freely, and the management of corruption. Policies aimed at promoting economic growth, lowering oil and gas use, enhancing the usage of green energy by the public and private sectors, and enhancing such institutional factors are all necessary components of a climate-friendly financial strategy.
全球二氧化碳排放一直是环境讨论的重要话题。然而,仍需要实证数据来支持关于高质量政府行动可以减少这些排放的论点。通过分析2000年至2020年来自137个国家的数据,我们提供了有力证据,表明专注于促进健康生态系统、可持续经济增长和卓越立法变革的国家政策能够减少二氧化碳排放。基于我们的研究结果,为了使环境政策有效,基本上有三个关键的制度因素需要改进:保护公民知识产权的法律概念;允许公民参与选举并自由表达自身意见的公民言论,以及腐败治理。旨在促进经济增长、降低石油和天然气使用、增加公共和私营部门绿色能源使用以及加强这些制度因素的政策,都是气候友好型金融战略的必要组成部分。
