Resumo(s)
Lately, there has been a global force to fight the climate crisis due to the high levels of emissions of
carbon dioxide and consequently, the occurrence of extreme weather events that have enormous
impacts in several sectors. Therefore, it is important to understand how European Union (EU) countries
have performed in key dimensions of climate change, and to investigate any possible disparities among
them. Thus, to explore the possible sustainability division within this region from 2018 to 2020, this
paper focuses on seven variables associated with the current sustainable investment trends in Europe.
Using factor and cluster analysis, we identify two dimensions – electric mobility (e-mobility) index and
renewable energy (RE) index - and categorize EU countries into five distinct groups – sustainable
leaders, sustainable balanced, green mobility-focused, green energy-focused, and sustainable laggards
– revealing disparities in sustainability efforts. While the results highlight a clear division caused by
diversified actions taken by each country, they also demonstrate the commitment of EU members to
addressing global warming. Nonetheless, there is room for improvement in balancing both e-mobility
and RE, moving towards a more environmentally friendly future.
