The core objective of this study is to evaluate whether improving energy use efficiency can help Sub-Saharan African nations attain their sustainability objectives. As opposed the conventional approaches, multidimensional aspects are captured in by predicting an index using data related four key targets mentioned under seventh sustainable development goal declared United Nations. Overall, for entire panel, findings reveal that a 1% rise level increases around 11% long run. Thus, improvements be expected complement agenda nations. In contrast, economic growth witnessed impede within these However, results also certify improvement performs mediating role neutralizing sustainability-inhibiting effects growth. addition, higher emissions carbon dioxide found encourage implement policies attainment sustainability. Besides, trade and financial globalization stimulate sustainability, respectively. Furthermore, facilitates while population inflicts opposite impacts. Finally, implementation Kyoto Protocol evidenced contributing selected light findings, several sustainability-related recommended.

Abstract Environmental sustainability and energy transition, especially the renewable have become critical concerns of nations throughout world in recent decades. The sustainable eco‐friendly technologies led to more methodologies, substantial stewardship our natural resources, conversion sources, all which been demonstrated benefit environment significantly. However, prior studies overlooked ecological transition effects green technology innovation. Therefore, this study endeavored investigate role innovation (lnGRN) financial globalization (lnFIG) on (lnEFT) (lnENT) United Kingdom using quarterly data for period from 1995 2020. applied time‐varying (bootstrapping) rolling window technique, can retrieve casual associations among variables at different periods sub‐samples. Besides this, method is advantageous addressing non‐consistency parameters eliminating pre‐test distortion. novel Bootstrap Rolling‐Window full‐sample causality technique results demonstrate that lnGRN lnFIG unidirectional toward lnEFT lnENT. Furthermore, bootstrap rolling‐window subsamples final stage indicate mitigate lnEFT, whereas lnGDP enhance transition. On other hand, lnETX contribute environmental deterioration, while hinders Several important policy implications are derived encourage globalization, technologies, resources consumption, taxes.

Limiting toxic elements from being exposed to the world's atmosphere has been biggest challenge among environmental researchers and stakeholders. Climate change conferences have counselling global economies take serious steps toward profound decarbonization keep universal temperature below 1.5 °C. In this context, direction of research changed, are more focused on tracing how limit pollution it threshold level. milieu, nuclear energy can make a big difference along with other alternatives fossil energy. Therefore, we extend extant literature by exploring dynamic effects atomic ICT carbon emissions (CO2) for top countries using data 1990 2017. To obtain robust findings, deploy novel non-parametric econometric approach (i.e., method moments quantile regression). The results suggest that is sustainable alternative historical fuel as curbs CO2 in lower, middle, upper quantiles. Furthermore, our findings corroborate penetration through internet, mobile telephone plays vital role improving quality. Moreover, unveil linear economic growth jeopardizes environment unleashing harmful gases. also support existence Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis confirming negative association between polynomial (squared-GDP) designated nations. Also, Granger causality test reaffirms causal nexus selected series runs technological innovation emissions, indicating any policy shock both leads degradation. We, therefore, advocate territories enriching their baskets boost achieve 100% decoupling pollution.

In line with an intensified call for reducing greenhouse emissions and curbing the effects of climate change, scientists experts have looked to information communication technology (ICT) digitization as critical tools more efficient use production energy. Consequently, research on ICT/digitization their impact environmental sustainability has witnessed exponential growth in last few decades. This study provides a systematic review relationship between over period from January 2000 April 2022. It aimed improve our understanding different theories channels governing ICT/digitization–environmental nexus, provide in-depth analysis discussion trends main empirical findings reviewed articles, highlight key avenues future research. total, 166 scientific articles examining 297 associations were selected this review. The results revealed that most studies used measures based change air pollution sustainability, traditional measures, e.g., mobile phone subscriptions internet users. also showed although found evidence improving negative association is concentrated 'Group of' countries. scarcity investigating nonlinear relationships sustainability.
