Europe's carbon market is experiencing a decline in the start of 2024 due to the rapid growth of renewable energy, which reduces the need for fossil fuels. The decrease in carbon prices can be attributed to factors such as increased renewable energy generation, a slowdown in industry, and a drop in demand for natural gas. The installation of solar panels and wind turbines has significantly contributed to the rise of clean energy in Europe. The lower carbon prices may provide an opportunity for companies to decarbonize or purchase permits at a lower cost. [Extracted from the article]

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence of economic growth, digitalisation, eco-innovation, energy consumption and patents on environmental technologies on the volume of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) recorded in European countries for a period of nine years (2010–2018). Design/methodology/approach: Two empirical methods were integrated into the theoretical approach developed based on the analysis of the current scientific framework. Multiple linear regression, an extended version of the OLS model, and a non-causal analysis as a robustness method, Dumitrescu–Hurlin, were used to achieve the proposed research objective. Findings: Digitalisation described by the number of individual Internet users and patents on environmental technologies determines the amount of GHG in Europe, and economic growth continues to have a significant effect on the amount of emissions, as well as the consumption of renewable energy. European countries are not framed in well-established patterns, but the economic growth, digitalisation, eco-innovation and renewable energy have an impact on the amount of GHG in one way or another. In many European countries, the amount of GHGs is decreasing as a result of economic growth, changes in the energy field and digitalisation. The positive influence of economic growth on climate neutrality depends on its degree of sustainability, while patents have the same conditional effect of their translation into environmentally efficient technologies. Research limitations/implications: This study has a number of limitations which derive, first of all, from the lack of digitalisation indicators. The missing data restricted the inclusion in the analysis of variables relevant to the description of the European digitalisation process, also obtaining conclusive results on the effects of digitalisation on GHG emissions. Originality/value: A similar analysis of the relationship among the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth, digitalisation, eco-innovation and renewable energy is less common in the literature. Also, the results can be inspirational in the sphere of macroeconomic policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Julius Baer, a top Swiss private bank, is facing challenges after a series of missteps and the departure of its CEO. The bank had significant exposure to a single client, Austrian real estate tycoon Rene Benko, whose empire collapsed. This has raised concerns about Baer's risk management and echoes the missteps that led to the downfall of Credit Suisse. Swiss financial authorities are now investigating Baer, and the bank is working to repair the damage and restore confidence. It is considering a new leader and exploring possible acquisitions to boost its assets under management. [Extracted from the article]
