This paper examines whether green incentives embedded in executive compensation schemes are associated with a reorientation of firms’ innovative activities toward environmentally sustainable technologies. Overall, the findings suggest that executive green incentives are associated with the direction, and not merely the volume, of firms’ innovative activities, highlighting the role of internal governance mechanisms in sustainability transitions while recognising the limits of causal inference in observational data.

Since 2015 the European Union has positioned itself as global leader in the ecological transition, placing the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 at the heart of its economic and financial agenda. This article examines the role of public banks, particularly the European Investment Bank (EIB), in structuring the financing of the green transition.
Four in five people without access to electricity live in Sub-Saharan Africa, where mini-grids are seen as a key solution. Yet investment remains constrained by low and unpredictable demand, especially in fragile settings. We study electricity demand in North Kivu (Democratic Republic of Congo), using pre-grid census and survey data combined with six years of post-connection consumption records.
This randomized controlled trial investigates how to accelerate the transition to the cleanest cooking fuel, electricity, and quantifies the benefits for people and the environment.

We document the relationship between rural–urban migration and energy poverty in South Africa. Our findings show that migrants to urban areas experience significant reductions in energy poverty, particularly in the use of traditional cooking fuels. Our study also explores energy poverty outcomes for both sending and receiving households, gender differences among migrants, and other amenities.
