Título: | Exploring the capacity of renewable energy consumption to reduce outdoor air pollution death rate in Latin America and the Caribbean region | Autor: | Koengkan, Matheus Fuinhas, José Alberto Silva, Nuno |
Palavras-chave: | Econometrics; Environmental economics; Health economics; Macroeconomics; Pollution; Renewable energy | Data: | Jan-2021 | Projeto: | UIDB/05037/2020 | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Environmental Science and Pollution Research | Volume: | 28 | Número: | 2 | Resumo: | The impact of renewable energy consumption on reducing the outdoor air pollution death rate, in nineteen Latin America & the Caribbean countries, from 1990 to 2016, using the econometric technique of quantile regression for panel data, was researched. Results show that economic growth and fossil fuel consumption are positively related to CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption bears a negative relationship with it. Furthermore, fossil fuel consumption has a positive impact on the mortality rate and economic growth a negative one. The negative effect of renewable energy consumption on the mortality rate is only observable on the right tail of its distribution. The modelisation reveals two ways in which the consumption of renewable energy can reduce the outdoor air pollution death rates: (i) directly, by increasing renewable energies, and (i) indirectly because the increase in the consumption of renewable energies implies a decrease in the consumption of energy from fossil fuels. The phenomenon of increasing urbanisation is a point where the action of public policymakers is decisive for the reduction of outdoor air pollution death rates. Here, the question is not to reduce the level of urbanisation but to act on the "quality" of urbanisation, to make cities healthier. The research concludes that public policymakers must focus on intensifying the transition from fossil to renewable energies and improving the quality of cities. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/94905 | ISSN: | 0944-1344 1614-7499 |
