Sažetak
This article aims to fill the literature gap while examining the role
of green innovation, climate change adaptation technologies,
technological diffusion, and environmentally related tax revenues
in dealing with carbon neutrality among seven technologically
advanced economies (T.A.E.-7) from 1990 to 2018. We employ
advanced panel estimators to address slope heterogeneity and
cross-sectional dependency issues. The long-run results show that
green technological innovations and technological diffusions have
significantly and negatively impacted carbon emissions in sample
countries. Meanwhile, the role of environmental policy is also significant
in addressing environmental vulnerabilities. These findings
suggest that climate tech is imperative to ensure carbon neutrality
in the long run; however, their marginal effects vary in magnitude,
particularly concerning diffusion and adaptation. Similar
results are endorsed using alternative estimators addressing endogeneity
issues and recommending climate tech’s inclusive framework
to support the green growth agenda.
