| Abstract |
This study explores the connections between energy transition, circular economy principles, and international trade to lessen carbon footprints for a sustainable future. It uses in-depth modeling and data analysis to show how they affect greenhouse gas emission mitigation. The study underscores the necessity of tackling the loss of natural resources, mainly due to insufficient waste management. It also stresses the transition from a linear to a circular economy. It validates the potential of the circular economy to reduce carbon emissions across eight key emitting countries through extensive research using scientific data from 1991 to 2021 and the AMG technique. It also draws a connection between development, high carbon emissions intensity, and efficient waste management in particular countries, supporting renewable energy as a beneficial environmental option. The report offers practical sustainability solutions for long-term implementation and identifies municipal garbage as a significant source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. |
