This study investigates the effect of ownership structure (OS) and financing decisions (FD) on environmental accounting disclosure (EAD), considering moderating role technological innovation (TI). Despite growing emphasis corporate sustainability, there is limited understanding how different structures choices influence EAD, particularly when moderated by TI. Drawing insights from agency stakeholder theories, this research aims to fill gap analyzing manufacturing companies in MENA region 2001 2022. Using Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) estimation, we examine empirical relationships among these variables. To address endogeneity issues, employed GMM modeling. Our findings reveal that concentrated state significantly promote while managerial has a negative impact. Additionally, firms relying equity tend exhibit higher whereas those debt show lower EAD levels. Notably, positively moderates relationship between EAD. The underscore importance promoting financing, ownership, enhance region. Furthermore, emphasizes need for adopting innovative practices improve standards support sustainable business practices.

ABSTRACT Given the pressing need for economies to mitigate climate change and champion carbon neutrality, this study investigates threshold effects of financial development foreign direct investment (FDI) on dioxide (CO₂) emissions in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) within Belt Road Initiative (BRI) bloc, taking into account moderating role regulatory environment. Drawing environmental Kuznets curve pollution haven hypothesis, utilizes dynamic generalized method moments (GMM) modeling, proposed by Arellano Bover, analyze panel data from 37 SSA countries spanning 1990–2022. The findings reveal that banking, financial, private sectors, along with FDI outflows, is associated a reduction CO₂ emissions. Conversely, inflows are linked increased A curvilinear relationship observed, where initial increases correlate higher emissions, which decline beyond certain threshold. Stronger regulations enhance positive impact reducing Finally, show significant heterogeneous effect across regional blocs. These underscore critical implementing stringent promoting sustainable practices negative impact. This research provides both theoretical practical insights fostering neutrality agenda advancing Sustainable Development Goal 13.

ABSTRACT In response to the global challenge of climate change and drive towards carbon neutrality, this study investigates effects foreign direct investment (FDI) trade openness (TO) on emissions (CEM) within Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. The research spans 18 countries from 1990 2022, focusing Sustainable Development Goal 13. Utilizing Porter's hypothesis Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, applies quantitative methods including panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) ensure robustness. To address potential endogeneity, two‐stage lagged effect estimations are employed. findings reveal that both FDI TO associated with reduced CEM, indicating positive environmental impacts. Also, pairwise causality tests show bidirectional between FDI, TO, while a unidirectional is found industrialization (IND) energy consumption (EC) CEM. These results underscore importance integrating into strategies for achieving neutrality advancing sustainable development goals, offering actionable insights policymakers.
