As a result of the growing global climate crisis, many countries have pledged to cut carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gas achieve net-zero emission goals. These goals can be successfully realized with rollout environmental regulations, utilization green technology innovations, greater use renewable energies. This study explores influence energy, financial development, taxes, economic growth on CO2 in 19 highest emitting from 1994 2022. The results reveal that energy taxes negatively affect emissions, reinforcing essential role these variables journey toward neutrality. Green technological positive effects suggesting appropriate regulations policies are necessary attain net zero emissions. findings also indicate development positively affects quality by promoting innovations. causality bidirectional causal link between growth, Additionally, unidirectional relationship exists Based results, offers policy suggestions.

The mounting impacts of climate change on infrastructure demand proactive adaptation strategies to ensure long-term resilience. This study investigates the effects predicted future global warming asphalt binder performance grade (PG) selection in United States using a time series method. Leveraging Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data and Superpave protocol model, research forecasts temperature changes for period up 2060 calculates corresponding PG values different states. results reveal significant increases across majority states, necessitating adjustments accommodate changing conditions. findings indicate average 7-day maximum temperatures by 2060, with 38 out 50 states likely experience rising trends. Oregon, Utah, Idaho are anticipated face largest increases. Concurrently, low air has risen 33 notable Maine, North Carolina, Virginia. widening gap between required high poses challenges, as some necessary binders cannot be produced or substituted other grades. highlights challenge meeting requirements available binders, emphasizing need consider energy consumption CO2 emissions when modifiers achieve desired properties.

This study estimated the relationship between environmental sustainability and economic growth in low middle-income countries. The used robust strongly balanced panel data from 2008 to 2021. advanced econometric approach two different variants of System Generalized Method Moments (one-step-SGMM two-step-SGMM) were for empirical analysis. analysis shows a significant association projected economies. Logistic infrastructure, gross capital formation, labor force participation rate, carbon dioxide emission are independent variables significantly affect our dependent variable, GDP per capita. finding one-step SGMM showed that logistic performance index CO2 statistically particular Thus, formation is also positively affects Similarly, rate has positive impact on low-income Besides, two-step SGMM, all variables, emission, variable growth. results autocorrelation tests indicate potential serial correlation models' errors. findings this suggested policymakers must adopt complete approaches arrange sustainable development goals, mitigate degradation, promote inclusive ensure prosperous resilient future all.
