Extreme climatic catastrophes and increasing emission levels demonstrate that humanity and nature are in confrontation. In this situation, the responsibility falls on intellectuals who engage in critical thinking, research, and innovation, propose solutions to problems, and bring society together to pursue a common goal. The present study assesses the role of education and Innovation in climate change mitigation in OECD and BRICS countries, where the use of renewable energy and decreasing the use of non-renewable energy are considered climate change mitigation strategies. The GMM approach is used to test the empirical model. The results indicate that increasing education and innovation levels in OECD and BRICS countries positively impact renewable energy consumption. However, the role of education and innovation in reducing the use of non-renewable energy consumption in the BRICS is insignificant, while in OECD countries, it is found significant. Thus, this study recommends that environmental education and green innovation be the focus to get sustainable development.

Ekstremalne katastrofy klimatyczne i rosnące poziomy emisji zanieczyszczeń pokazują, że ludzkość i natura są w stanie konfrontacji. W tej sytuacji odpowiedzialność spada na intelektualistów, którzy angażują się w krytyczne myślenie, badania i innowacje, proponują rozwiązania problemów i jednoczą społeczeństwo w dążeniu do wspólnego celu. Niniejsze badanie ocenia rolę edukacji i innowacji w łagodzeniu zmian klimatu w krajach OECD i BRICS, gdzie wykorzystanie energii odnawialnej i zmniejszenie wykorzystania energii nieodnawialnej są uważane za strategie łagodzenia zmian klimatycznych. Do testowania modelu empirycznego zastosowano podejście GMM. Wyniki wskazują, że rosnący poziom edukacji i innowacyjności w krajach OECD i BRICS pozytywnie wpływa na zużycie energii odnawialnej. Jednak rola edukacji i innowacji w ograniczaniu zużycia energii nieodnawialnej w krajach BRICS jest znikoma, podczas gdy w krajach OECD jest uznawana za znaczącą. W związku z tym niniejsze badanie zaleca, aby edukacja środowiskowa i zielone innowacje były głównym celem osiągnięcia zrównoważonego rozwoju.
