Transitioning to a low-carbon economy: Green financial behavior, climate change mitigation, and environmental energy sustainability

Abstract

This article presents an empirical study carried out to evaluate and analyze the relationship between green financial behavior, climate change mitigation, and environmental energy sustainability. Building my argument by drawing on data collected from CDP, George Mason University, IMF, OECD, The World Bank, and Yale University, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding the sustainability of the natural world and economy. Data collected from 4,700 respondents are tested against the research model. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
