Abstract: Currently, the position of ESG in energy transition is becoming one of the hot research topics in the academia. In this context, this work studies the impact of ESG on low-carbon energy risk in the panel of 148 nations over the period 2000-2023. As an econometric tool, Method of Moments Quantile Regression is employed which is robust method for heteroscedasticity. The estimations reveal that the promotion of ESG reduces low-carbon energy risk across all the quantiles from 10% to 90%. Furthermore, sub-dimension tests are conducted using environmental, social and governance indices of ESG separately. They also show the negative impact on low-carbon energy risk. Overall, the findings are aligned with both theoretical and economic linkages.
