أثر التحول نحو الاقتصاد الأخضر ودوره في تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة في سورية

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the green economy and its importance, and its role in promoting sustainable development based on the renewable energy index, and the strategy followed in Syria to promote the seventh goal of sustainable development based on the renewable energy index, in addition to identifying the reality of energy in Syria before and during the war. The descriptive analytical approach was followed in addition to the standard method using the statistical package 12 E-views, by studying the extent of the differences caused by government policies on the renewable energy index before and during the war in Syria in 2011 using the t-Test, then determining the characteristic of this difference, whether at the level of the section or the direction through structural unit root tests, and then predicting and anticipating the direction of the development of these variables for the coming years by applying the Box-Jenkins methodology. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is that Syria enjoys an abundance of wind and solar energy sources, which qualifies it to accommodate future solar and wind energy projects. Syria has many of the components to shift towards a green economy, but the results of the war and the economic sanctions imposed on Syria prevented the achievement of the renewable energy index within the seventh goal of the Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2030. However, the renewable energy index achieved a noticeable improvement in its contribution to the total energy during the war compared to the period before the war.
