Data Set for the study entitled: Environmental Degradation, Renewable Energy, Global Climate Change, and Economic Growth for Sustainable Development in The Ten Highest Climate Risk Countries

the highest Global Climate Risk Index (CRI). These countries, referred to as TenHRCC, include The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Haiti, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Thailand.Annual data from 2005 to 2019 is utilized. The <i>dependent variable</i> is <i>CRI</i>, while the <i>independent variables</i> consist of <i>Ecological Footprint (EF)</i> and <i>Forest Area (FA)</i> provided by the Global Footprint Network as <i>indicators of Environmental Variables</i>, and the <i>ratio of Renewable Energy Consumption to Total Energy Consumption (REC)</i> as the <i>Renewable Energy variable</i>. <i>Economic Growth (EG)</i> is designated as the <i>control variable</i>, given its known influence on climate change according to the literature.

本数据集的研究对象为全球气候风险指数（Global Climate Risk Index, CRI）排名最高的国家，上述国家被统称为十大气候高风险国家（TenHRCC），具体包含巴哈马、孟加拉国、海地、莫桑比克、缅甸、尼泊尔、巴基斯坦、菲律宾、波多黎各及泰国。本研究采用2005年至2019年的年度数据。其中，因变量（dependent variable）为气候风险指数（CRI）；自变量（independent variables）包含两类：一类是由全球足迹网络（Global Footprint Network）发布的生态足迹（Ecological Footprint, EF）与森林面积（Forest Area, FA），作为环境变量（Environmental Variables）的衡量指标；另一类是可再生能源消费占总能源消费比重（ratio of Renewable Energy Consumption to Total Energy Consumption, REC），作为可再生能源变量（Renewable Energy variable）。此外，经济增长（Economic Growth, EG）被设定为控制变量（control variable），鉴于已有研究文献证实其对气候变化具有显著影响。
