: This study investigates how macroeconomic variables in Bangladesh from 1991 to 2021 affec - ted emissions, using data from the World Development Indicators. This study used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The study finds that Bangladesh’s GDP per person, energy use, and trade openness positively and significantly affect both short-term and long-term carbon dioxide emissions. However, statistics show that foreign direct investment does not affect from Banglade - sh’s. This study says that policymakers should focus on making energy policies and other economic policies that help the economy grow and have little to no effect on emissions. Additionally, eco - nomic growth will not hurt the environment as much if policies are implemented to encourage the growth of both the public and private sectors and make it easier to make money by allocating and distributing resources well. Finally, this study suggests looking for additional variables to improve the model’s fit and using other estimating techniques to obtain more trustworthy findings.

: Portugal is a country on the Iberian Peninsula with a population of just over 10 million people. The country has no reserves of energy resources such as oil, natural gas, or coal and is therefore dependent on their imports. Nevertheless, it has no problems ensuring energy security. It imports oil from countries such as Brazil, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Angola, and gas from Algeria, Nigeria, the United States of America and Qatar. All imports of crude oil and most imports of petroleum products pass through the two main ports of Sines and Leixões, while gas is imported via the Sines LNG terminal and two cross-border gas pipelines at Campo Maior and Valença do Minho. Coal imports are no longer a problem following the closure of the last coal-fired power plant in 2021. As recently as 2019, fossil fuels accounted for as much as 76% of Portugal’s total primary energy supply, with oil accounting for 43%, but the majority of this demand was consumed by road transport (51%), followed by oil-based industries (16%) and household heating (5%). Now, however, the situation is changing. Hydropower and rapidly developing wind and solar energy account for a large share of electricity generation. By 2030, Portugal plans to commission between

: The rapid development of grid integration of solar energy in developing countries like India has created vital concerns such as fluctuations and interruptions affecting grid operations. Improving the consistency and accuracy of solar energy forecasts can increase the reliability of the power grid. Although solar energy is available in abundance around the world, it is viewed as an unpredictable source due to uncertain fluctuations in climate conditions. Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) pre - diction is critical to efficiently manage and forecast the power output of solar power plants. Howe - ver, developing an accurate GHI forecasting model is challenging due to the variability of weather conditions over time.

: This article presents the topic of atmospheric pollution. The authors have presented the most important national air-quality regulations. They have identified measurement stations in Kraków (Poland), collected data from them and conducted their analysis. The aim of the article is to present the research results on developing a statistical model for estimating air pollution in Kraków depending on the changing weather conditions during the year. The authors used the mathematical modelling method to prepare the air-pollution model. The article presents collected data showing the situation prior to the introduction of a number of environmental regulations in the city of Kraków. The paper is based on meteorological data in the form of daily average values of air temperature, wind speed, air humidity, pressure and precipitation. Emission data included the average daily concentrations of the selected air pollutants, including sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), nitrogen oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O 3 ) and particulate matter

: Carbon taxing is an efficient instrument that is implemented by several countries to reduce CO 2 emissions. Taxed products and services that result in emitting CO 2 in their processes will be replaced by more sustainable alternatives. Carbon taxing is associated with concerns about high energy prices that can negatively affect households and businesses. Egypt, one of the low middle-income developing countries, depends on fossil fuels to supply more than 93% of its total energy supply. In this paper, an analysis is carried out to assess the effects of a suggested carbon tax on the major carbon emitting sectors; power generation, transport and industry. The results show that the power generation sector can absorb and benefit from a suggested tax at a rate of USD 5 per ton of emitted CO 2 . The transport sector, which relies heavily on subsidized liquid fuels, needs an urgent reform program to remove these subsidies, which costs the country about 10 billion USD annually, and after that, the carbon tax can be introduced. The industry sector may be affected negatively by the
