Achieving environmental sustainability has become a global priority, with energy efficiency (EE) emerging as critical pathway. This study examines the influence of information and communication technology service exports (ICT) on EE by integrating moderating role regulatory quality. We employ super-slack-based measure (Super-SBM) generalized least squares models in G20 economies throughout 2001–2023. The findings show that average is 0.855, which indicates potential for further improvement 14.50%. ICT positively related to EE, quality delivers conducive environment adoption technologies optimize usage. also indicate synergistic effect between quality, can lead substantial improvements emphasizing importance governance facilitating technological advancements. highlight renewable economic openness shaping EE. Furthermore, Argentina South Africa achieved highest reflecting their proximity efficient frontier. In robust tests, this verifies its results using method moments, panel-corrected standard error, feasible models. suggest perspectives provide valuable insights policymakers aiming enhance through digital transformation institutional reforms.

The relationship between fossil fuel CO2 emissions and economic growth in the Visegrád (V4) countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) is examined through lens of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. Employing modified (MEKC) hypothesis, time-series data from 2010 to 2022 were analyzed. methodology encompasses a range econometric techniques, including temporal, comparative, correlational, regression analyses, unravel intricate development (measured by GDP per capita) pollution (CO2 emissions). Results reveal complex nonlinear correlation capita V4 countries, following an inverted U-shaped pattern. Specifically, Czechia Hungary exhibited peak at approximately USD 5000 4500 capita, respectively, with corresponding emission levels 1.15 0.64 metric tons. In contrast, Slovakia’s decreased after its exceeded carbon dioxide reached 0.15 However, Poland’s deviate MEKC pattern, exhibiting consistent rise across all capita. study highlights that power industry largest source four contributing 88.09% total emissions. transportation industrial combustion sectors account for about 2.12% 1.28% annual emissions, respectively. GDP–CO2 correlations vary countries. While exhibits positive 0.35, (−0.37), Poland (−0.21), Slovakia (−0.11) display negative relationships. Notably, experiences most significant increase both road transport air traffic. conclusions drawn this provide robust foundation developing tailored policies support sustainable region other transitioning economies.

Abstract Environmental sustainability holds evident significance since it is intricately connected with attaining sustainable development. However, the pre‐requisite of ecological higher ratio biodiversity to footprint, called Load Capacity Factor (LCF). Literature quite scant on drivers LCF and study in hand attempt find viable policy instruments this important indicator. For purpose, has explored role green investment (GI), environmental (EP), financial development (FD), natural resources rent (NRR) context load capacity curve (LCC) hypothesis for G‐7 countries from 1990 2019. Considering co‐dependence among economies, employed a Cross‐sectional Dependence Autoregressive Distributive Lag (CS‐ARDL) technique investigate impact each variable along other econometric techniques. The observed outcomes suggest that stringency both contribute improving quality by increasing LCF. Whereas significantly, reduce enhance degradation. Additionally, findings also validate LCC context. advocates need achieve adequate consideration transform toward sustainability. Finally, presented in‐depth solutions so economies can take possible action acquire targets set COP26.

This paper explores the systemic relationship between urban civilization initiatives and economic prosperity by examining impact of China’s “National Civilized City” (NCC) designation. We begin synthesizing literature that addresses complex interactions development environmental sustainability, emphasizing a systems approach. A theoretical model is developed to capture dynamic interplay strategies socio-economic outcomes, framed within context Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Employing quasi-experimental difference-in-differences (DID) method, we analyze data from panel Chinese cities (1997–2019) assess how NCC title influences growth sustainability. Our results indicate notable 2.88% increase in GDP per capita associated with designation; however, this effect varies based on city’s administrative status geographical location, highlighting conditional nature policy development. conclude offering recommendations promote holistic approach planning, fostering synergies conservation growth. These insights contribute deeper understanding sustainable relevance both emerging economies.

Countries worldwide are focusing on energy efficiency, economic sustainability, and responsible resource management to address climate change meet sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study investigates how factors such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, green human capital, geopolitical risk, natural rent, information communication technology influenced CO2 emissions in 36 countries between 2000 2021. The also explores institutional quality moderates these relationships. We employed advanced econometric techniques this gap, including panel-correlated standard errors (PCSE) the Driscoll–Kraay estimations (DKSE) models. A two-step system GMM approach was used strengthen robustness of our findings. findings reveal that consumption, can significantly reduce emissions. Conversely, contribute increased Institutional enhances positive impact capital emission reduction. However, it has opposite effect leading an even greater increase These underscore importance policies achieving goals. recommend policymakers prioritize investing clean while strengthening effectively mitigate carbon SDGs. They regulate AI ICT footprints risks through diversification international cooperation.
