This study examines the impact of financial development and foreign direct investment (FDI) on CO2 emissions in Pakistan, utilizing annual data from 2000 to 2022 obtained World Development Indicators. Using Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model, results reveal that short run, positive changes (FD+) significantly increase emissions, while negative (FD-) reduce them. FDI also contributes higher whereas renewable energy consumption effectively reduces highlighting its environmental benefits. In long decrease though relationship is not statistically significant, emissions. These findings underscore critical role mitigating degradation. Policymakers are encouraged carefully manage balance economic growth sustainability.

The study investigates the relationship between technological innovation, clean energy, trade openness, and natural resource rents on environmental sustainability within BRICS + T nations. Motivated by urgent need to address escalating CO2 emissions—reaching 36.4 billion metric tons in 2022—the research aims understand how these factors influence emissions, ecological footprint, load capacity factor, its inverse, contributing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). uses panel data from countries spanning period 1990 2022. Employing advanced econometric techniques such as Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression (DSUR), Cross-Sectionally Augmented Panel Unit Root (CUP-FM, CUP-BC), nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models, tests Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis evaluates asymmetric effects of variables. Key findings indicate that innovation consistently reduces emissions footprints, reinforcing role promoting through cleaner technologies more efficient industrial processes. Clean energy adoption has also been shown be a significant driver reducing degradation, with consistent negative while improving factor. However, openness exhibits dual effect. While it enhances use efficiency, simultaneously increases likely due heightened activity. Natural display mixed results: some cases, they exacerbate others, contribute funding eco-friendly initiatives. recommends nations prioritize investments green technologies, strengthen regulations, enhance international collaboration accelerate transition renewable energy. Policymakers should balance benefits stricter standards mitigate adverse sustainability. These integrated strategies are essential for achieving targets outlined SDGs.

One of the crucial issues confronting China is high carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. Despite numerous measures outlined to promote country’s neutrality target, CO emissions in nation continue increase. This means that more policy options are needed help improve environmental sustainability (ES) nation. Hence, examining relationship between financial development (FD), foreign direct investment, industrialization, and provide proper recommendations drive agenda deemed fitting. In attaining this goal, time-series data from period 1990 2018 employed. According results, investment deteriorates by promoting validates pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). addition, industrialization not friendly nation’s quality. Furthermore, economic growth urbanization escalate interactions deteriorate environment China. Moreover, have an inverted U-shaped association with degradation, but nonlinearly related. The study advocated for implementation could advance carbon-neutrality targets
