The sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region gathers the most vulnerable countries, which are criss-crossed geographically, making SSA countries extremely vulnerable to the influence of neighbouring countries. However, very few studies have considered the spillover effect of technical assistance in the...

The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on renewable energy. This work investigates the effect of pandemic on the renewable energy research from four aspects: the regional cooperation model of renewable energy research, the research hotspots of renewable energy during the pandemic, the...

This study explores whether increasing renewable energy consumption can alleviate environmental pressures (per capita carbon emissions and per capita ecological footprint) and the heterogeneity of the effects of increasing renewable energy consumption on the environmental pressures of countries...

Although there are many studies on the social welfare of renewable energy, the systematic study of the impact of renewable energy on life expectancy is relatively rare. Aiming at filling the research gap, we incorporate renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and life expectancy into a...

As the first country to restart the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic, China's fast-growing energy consumption has brought huge challenges to the energy system. In this context, ensuring a stable energy supply requires accurate estimates of energy consumption for China's post-Covid-19 pandemic...

The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously impacted scientific research activities, especially international cooperation in scientific research. Using bibliometric methods and scientific knowledge graph software, and by calculating collaboration indicators such as international collaboration rates,...

A systematic study of the impact of renewable energy and non-renewable energy consumption on total factor carbon productivity could sever us to explore a lower-cost carbon-neutral energy transition path. To this end, total factor carbon productivity in 114 countries from 2000 to 2014 were...
