Editorial: Export product quality, renewable energy, and sustainable production

The ongoing and escalating destruction of the environment and climate is one of the most significant problems facing the entire globe. A key step forward in international cooperation to address climate change and the destruction being caused is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The COP26 accord is a crucial step in raising international awareness and fostering diplomatic relations for climate-related issues. Also, COP26 is essential for the international community to recognise how the ongoing growth of economic activity has aggravated climate change by raising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), which has raised global temperatures. By utilising more natural resources and increasing energy use, the rapid development of global production has also increased the ecological footprint (EF), contributing to global warming. Additionally, as the world’s population increases, environmental worries develop because of the greater need for energy. The most evident issues affecting the entire planet now are the slowly changing climate and increasing environmental deterioration. The economy and health of humanity will suffer because of this significant increase in greenhouse gases (GHG). To achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, both developed and developing countries should prioritise environmental preservation and energy security (Sharma et al., 2021). Countries that import energy are also working to ensure a sufficient supply to maintain their individual rates of economic growth. However, since burning dirty fossil fuels has a negative impact on the environment, ensuring energy security should normally be accomplished by expanding the availability of greener energy alternatives. As a result, existing international agreements for ecological development, such as the Paris OPEN ACCESS
