Purpose: The new global approach to sustainability within the context of the SDGs is driving a digital transition. However, new technologies bring challenges related to the energy efficiency of their infrastructures. The aim of this exploratory work is to identify the companies with best...

This paper provides quasi-experimental evidence of the health benefits of a largescale, nationwide programme of home energy-efficiency retrofits in the Netherlands, exploiting individual medicine use from insurers' records. We demonstrate that these home upgrades improve children's health, as...

Scaling up energy efficiency is critical to the energy transition-and the public sector is a good place to start. Programs in public buildings, in particular, can introduce new models and thus help shape markets. Given the limits of public financing against huge investment needs, countries must...
