Abstract This study delves into the profound repercussions of resource curse hypothesis within Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) nations from 1991 to 2022, examining intricate interplay among natural abundance, energy consumption, economic development (ED). Methodologically, it employs cross‐sectionally augmented Dickey–Fuller test assess stationarity utilizes Westerlund cointegration technique analyze cointegration. Subsequently, autoregressive distributive lag model is deployed explore impact availability, renewable non‐renewable utilization, carbon emissions on ED these countries. The findings reveal a stark reality wherein both consumption wield consistently positive influence short‐ long‐term growth across BRICS economies. Particularly striking dominant consumption. However, this comes in contrast adverse effects identified with excessive coal rents, signifying potential setbacks arising rampant exploitation. Furthermore, suboptimal utilization resources hints at detrimental effect ED. These results transcend confines developing nations, underscoring universality hypothesis, affecting developed illuminates grave risks inherent overreliance overexploitation resources, elucidating heightened competition that severely impedes trajectory countries short long terms.
