Inclusive Economic Growth, Sustainable Climate Action, SDG, United Nations, Climate ChangeAbstract
Purpose: Climate change poses a global challenge with wide-ranging economic, social, and environmental impacts. As nations confront its effects, they also aim to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth that benefits all. This study identifies sustainable models and strategies to balance climate change mitigation with equitable, resilient, and environmentally responsible economic development.
Method: To investigate the topic, the study uses a systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines, analysing articles published between 2010 and 2023. It also draws on secondary data from the IMF, UN, and World Bank to provide a comprehensive global perspective.
Result: The study advocates for enhanced international cooperation, technology transfer, the establishment of comprehensive climate metrics, the implementation of carbon taxation that commensurate with the economic capacity of each country or region, and an emphasis on immediate climate action rather than solely relying on long-term projections.
Novelty and contribution: This study contributes a novel integrative framework that unites climate change mitigation policies with inclusive economic development paradigms domains often treated separately in existing literature. By synthesizing multi-institutional data and systematically reviewing over a decade of evidence, it provides actionable insights for bridging policy and practice.
Practical and social Implication: The study provides clear policy guidance for integrating climate goals with inclusive growth. Its proposed models promote sustainable, equitable, and socially responsive climate action, ensuring that environmental policies also advance economic resilience and social welfare.
