About the Cover

This study conducts a systematic literature review to comprehensively analyze the impact of carbon pricing policies on economic growth and green innovation, with a focusing on selected countries. We tapped into Google Scholar and related sources to identify studies in this area on carbon pricing, economic growth, and green innovation among eight developing countries: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Indonesia, Colombia, and South Africa. The outlined survey aims to bridge existing knowledge gaps in emerging economies. Our analysis shows that some of the developing nations mentioned are implementing environmental fiscal reforms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while others maintain distorting subsidies. Notably, the safeguards of carbon prices can help businesses transition towards sustainability as well as encourage innovative activities that enchance competitiveness. Contrary to popular belief, carbon pricing in developing countries does not necessarily have a regressive effect at the household level, especially in rural areas with diverse energy use patterns.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) provides a staple food and serves as a cash crop in many developing countries. Also, it provides a tremendous foreign exchange to producer countries across the world. Its production is mainly affected by climate, soil, and diseases. Climate change threatens crop production, both directly through changes in crop growth and yield, and indirectly through the development of diseases, pests, and weeds in crops
