Abstract

In recent decades, the surge in greenhouse gas emissions has given rise to an increase in climate risk-related development finance. This research delves into the effect of renewable energy and climate risk-related development finance on greenhouse gas emissions in the BRICS region. Panel regression estimates were employed to uncover several noteworthy findings. Firstly, a slight yet significant surge in greenhouse gas emissions resulted from increased climate risk-related development finance. Secondly, augmented climate risk-related mitigation finance corresponded with a noteworthy upsurge in renewable energy usage. Thirdly, greater renewable energy consumption resulted in a considerable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Lastly, amplified renewable energy consumption alleviated the impact of climate risk-related mitigation finance on greenhouse gas emissions. These findings emphasize the necessity of efficiently utilizing climate finance in generating renewable energies like wind, biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric and solar energies. Additionally, it is recommended that benefactor nations and officials ensure a regular and uninterrupted flow of climate risk-related development mitigation finance to emerging nations.
