PhD Title: Sustainable Development, Energy Sources and Macroeconomic Dynamics: Empirical Study on Emerging Market Economies

Abstract: Climate change presents an unparalleled global challenge, manifesting through extensive environmental, economic, and societal repercussions. Sustainable development, with a pronounced emphasis on transitioning to renewable energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency, emerges as a pivotal strategy to counteract climate change while simultaneously promoting economic growth and social equity. The integration of renewable energy not only curtails greenhouse gas emissions but also bolsters energy security and facilitates economic diversification. Nonetheless, this transition is impeded by challenges such as substantial initial investments, infrastructural inadequacies, and entrenched interests favoring fossil fuels. This study undertakes an empirical analysis of the impact of energy generation modalities—encompassing both renewable and non-renewable sources—on sustainable development within emerging market economies. Furthermore, it delves into the ramifications of energy transitions on economic disparities and export performance, acknowledging the distinct susceptibilities of these economies stemming from rapid industrialization and pronounced income inequalities. By concentrating on energy production rather than consumption, this research elucidates critical aspects of resource management, policy innovation, and technological advancements essential for cultivating a more inclusive and sustainable future.
