Abstract: In the current context of climate change, the transition to renewable energy sources is important for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving sustainable development goals. This study analyzes the economic and energy factors influencing greenhouse gas emissions and their role in facilitating the transition to renewable energy. The methods used consist of a literature review on the transition to renewable energy from a GHG emission reduction perspective, database consolidation and econometric modeling. The results will highlight that energy import dependency and energy-related tax revenues have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions, suggesting the need for policies that promote energy independence and tax efficiency. The results will be useful for policy makers, highlighting the need for strategic interventions to maximize the benefits of the energy transition, respectively the implementation of integrated policies that support both the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the use of renewable energy sources, which are necessary to ensure a sustainable and climate resilient future.
