Purpose The Quadrilateral Group for Security Dialogues (QUAD), comprising Japan, Australia, India, and the USA, has experienced a noteworthy escalation in both environmental depletion economic performance over preceding 2 decades. Consequently, it becomes crucial to outline strategies through which QUAD can attain harmonious equilibrium between sustainable growth ecological well-being. This research endeavors dissect intricate relationships among trade globalization, regulatory quality, sustainability within period 1990–2021. study checks Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH), Halo Effect (PHEH). Design/methodology/approach long-run association is based on autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model bounds test approach cointegration while divergence or convergence studied with help of decoupling index (DI).

Adverse consequences are observed in developing countries due to the impact of globalization process. Therefore, our study aims empirically verify whether escalates carbon dioxide emissions selected N-11 (next-11) between 1990 and 2019. The also analyzes how per capita GDP, GDP2, population growth, renewable energy consumption affect emissions. For this reason, researchers used several econometric methods, including slope homogeneity test, cross-sectional dependency panel unit root cointegration method moment's quantile regression analysis, Wald test. estimated results show change across a range quantiles (0.1 0.9). findings that GDP significantly impacts overabundance countries. Over time, found positive coefficient value decreased from first last (7.41 5.87), leading validation EKC hypothesis. adverse correlation GDP2 environmental contamination confirms Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis is valid for Globalization deteriorates environment by directly affecting CO2 It increases monotonically lower upper (0.972 1.002). At level 0.1 0.9, growth increase impede these Coefficient values 0.9 (-0.35 -0.53) suggest governments can reduce more over time. But negative (-0.97, -0.93, -0.90, -0.88, -0.86, -0.85, -0.83, -0.81, -0.77) decrease quantile. test supports asymmetric effects different quantiles. As robustness check estimators, FMOLS, DOLS, CCR, which variables' long-run elasticity. research developed targeted policy recommendations sustainably mitigating based on above results.

This research examines whether environmental regulations have a moderating effect on the link between foreign direct investment and environment, as well of capital investments quality for BRICS nations. In this approach, using second-generation panel data methodologies period 1992-2020, impacts investments, real national income, consumption renewable energy, stringency index load capacity factor are explored in base empirical model. order to test if there is any evidence potential parabolic economic growth quality, model also includes square income. addition, robustness model, role policy checked. Empirical results show U-shaped association development. The usage energy shown improve although decrease it. Finally, it determined that effective undoing negative demonstrating validity their function.

Taking Inner Mongolia as a case, this study systematically analyzes the coupling and coordination relationship between carbon emissions from land use (CELU) high-quality economic development (HQED). The aim is to provide empirical support policy inspiration for archiving “dual carbon” goal HQED strategy in border areas. Panel data 12 cities 2000 2020 were selected. We established an evaluation index system CELU using entropy-weight TOPSIS method scientifically evaluated level of HQED. applied exploratory spatial analysis, topic decoupling, degree (CCD), geographic detector models comprehensively analyze status heterogeneity driving factors affecting CCD explored detail. Although total has increased, its growth rate slowed significantly. was low, obvious disequilibrium observed. Seven key factors, including land-use structure, efficiency, energy intensity, have significant effects on CCD. To supply-side structural reform, promote HQED, achieve emission reduction green goals, we offer series recommendations: transformation resource-based cities, optimize industrial structure upgrading, strengthen scientific technological innovation technology applications, improve regional cooperation coordination. This reveals internal provides practical instructive countermeasures suggestions sustainable areas, such Mongolia, which important reference value promoting economies achieving goal.

This paper examines the effect of green foreign direct investment (GFDI) on environmental quality (EQ) in 34 less-developed countries (LDCs) from 2003 to 2021. We analyze balanced panel data using Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE). Our findings reveal several vital insights: (1) GFDI helps improve EQ. (2) Environmental costs associated with economic growth are negative. (3) Trade openness positively influences (4) EQ is enhanced by institutional quality, energy use, population expansion chosen countries. (5) The existence a U-shaped curve was established. valuable relatively scanty literature GFDI, especially LDCs. To best our awareness, this study simultaneously employs Load Capacity Factor (LCF) Total Value Announced Greenfield projects as proxies for sustainability first time. Secondly, incorporating PCSE FGLS models context an innovative methodological strategy. present research work provides existing theoretical empirical discussions has practical implications that inform policy-making.
