Limiting toxic elements from being exposed to the world's atmosphere has been biggest challenge among environmental researchers and stakeholders. Climate change conferences have counselling global economies take serious steps toward profound decarbonization keep universal temperature below 1.5 °C. In this context, direction of research changed, are more focused on tracing how limit pollution it threshold level. milieu, nuclear energy can make a big difference along with other alternatives fossil energy. Therefore, we extend extant literature by exploring dynamic effects atomic ICT carbon emissions (CO2) for top countries using data 1990 2017. To obtain robust findings, deploy novel non-parametric econometric approach (i.e., method moments quantile regression). The results suggest that is sustainable alternative historical fuel as curbs CO2 in lower, middle, upper quantiles. Furthermore, our findings corroborate penetration through internet, mobile telephone plays vital role improving quality. Moreover, unveil linear economic growth jeopardizes environment unleashing harmful gases. also support existence Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis confirming negative association between polynomial (squared-GDP) designated nations. Also, Granger causality test reaffirms causal nexus selected series runs technological innovation emissions, indicating any policy shock both leads degradation. We, therefore, advocate territories enriching their baskets boost achieve 100% decoupling pollution.

Abstract The energy resources of the economies play a critical role in reaching 2030 and 2050 decarbonization targets. In this respect, research development budgets for nuclear (NRD), which constitutes one‐fifth current United Kingdom, can be step transition to low‐carbon economy. However, literature neglects impact NRD on environmental quality Kingdom. Thus, paper explores CO 2 Kingdom by controlling income, trade openness, financial from 1974 2020 with non‐linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach. Empirical findings confirm asymmetrical relationship between . context, while positive changes reduce degradation, negative hinder sustainability. Another finding is that Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis valid. Furthermore, results show economic growth openness quality, contributes quality. Considering these findings, deepening activities should continue More allocated

Institutional quality, financial development, and natural resources primarily determine how economic representatives support their operational production behaviors towards escalating the renewable energy share in whole mix protecting ecological quality. In this way, paper is first to investigate influence of institutional resources, on growth environment simultaneously China from 1996 2020. The cointegration approaches verify presence a long-run association between selected variables. autoregressive distributed lag model outcomes reveal that quality utilization greatly diminish footprint. At same time, other prospective indicators such as expansion significantly enhance footprint levels short- long-run. Furthermore, expansion, energy, trigger growth. Besides this, study has revealed unidirectional causal contrast, bidirectional causality occurs footprint, current research results offer some policy implications will help reduce detrimental environmental deprivation, without hindering trajectory case China.

Based on the perspective of industrial agglomeration, this paper employs a dynamic panel model and mediating effects to investigate impact digital economy's development air pollution in 274 Chinese cities from 2011 2019. The main findings include: (1) economy reduces emissions cities, elasticity reduction is greater central western China than eastern China. (2) nexus between agglomeration inverted-N-shaped. (3) Mechanism tests show that can effectively promote degree each area, it plays positive role abating through externalities but effect not significant (4) Diversified an active mediator Accordingly, some policy implications are put forward for simultaneously promoting reducing pollution, impelling accelerating green transformation
