The current study has studied the threshold effects of energy consumption structure and GDP per capita variables on carbon emissions from 2002 to 2019 for 37 selected countries (with middle to high-income levels) using the non-linear approach of Panel Smooth Transition Regression Models. For this purpose, two separate models have been estimated by considering energy consumption structure transfer and GDP per capita variables. The results indicate a non-linear relationship between the studied variables in both models. The estimation results of both models show that GDP per capita (in the threshold state of energy consumption structure) and energy consumption structure (in the threshold state of GDP per capita) positively affect carbon emissions. Also, urbanization and trade openness have a positive effect on carbon emissions in both models. Thus, the results show that increasing efficiency in energy consumption and GDP per capita structure can significantly reduce carbon emissions. These findings point to the importance of optimizing energy policies and the crucial role of changes in the economic structure in managing greenhouse gas emissions..

The lack of security, political dependencies, the formation, and the increase in environmental problems are the main reasons for changing the approach to energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable energies. This alteration requires financial support for the extraction of renewable energies. Foreign direct investment, investment in research and development, and financial market development are among the Financing methods that also impact the consumption of renewable energies. This study aims to assess the impact of these financing methods on the consumption of renewable energies across 26 developing countries during the period from 2008 to 2019. Findings from panel model estimations indicate that foreign direct investment and investment in research and development have a positive and significant effect on the consumption of renewable energy, while the development of financial markets does not have a significant effect on the consumption of renewable energies. Based on the results, since the defined methods of financing do not have an adverse effect on renewable energy consumption, it is recommended that the government, to guarantee the indicators of the nation's welfare, including environmental quality, put the laws covering these financing methods in the main plan and support
