Governance Quality, Fiscal Policy, And The Path To A Low-Carbon Future: Perspectives From Developing Economies

Climate change is a severe global threat, requiring urgent interventions. The Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals have established targets for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy. Developing economies often rely on traditional energy sources, but the adverse effects of fossil fuels have led to a growing interest in renewable energy. However, developing countries face challenges, such as restricted financing and technical competence, which hinder the transition process. Governance Quality, Fiscal Policy, and the Path to a Low-Carbon Future: Perspectives From Developing Economies provides a comprehensive overview of how governance quality and fiscal policy can shape the path to a sustainable energy system in developing economies. This book examines the role of institutional quality and fiscal policy tools, such as carbon taxes and green bonds, in promoting the energy transition. It offers practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners and can be used as a teaching resource in courses on environmental economics.
