Abstract Nigeria has plentiful sources of renewable energies that are yet to be efficiently utilised, despite the country committing net‐zero emissions by 2060, declared at 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2021, which necessitates lower consumption fossil fuels. However, this commitment may divert from ending poverty as main goal sustainable development. This study seeks identify asymmetric effects and non‐renewable energy used electricity generation, along with CO 2 on economic growth through approaches. The findings indicate should mainly pursue policies concentrating increased short run more long achieve higher growth. Furthermore, causality results approving only feedback relationship existing between growth, paves way for so over time will able significantly increase share it can a level approach its target both goals

University students are among those associated with high energy consumption but low conservational practices. Such behavior has serious implications on sustainability and emission of greenhouse gases. For developing countries, electricity conservation increases the burden utility companies government as a whole. Efforts to promote have led an increased number studies. However, such research not given much consideration role emotions well religion. Evidence from Ghana is also limited. This study examines factors in Ghana. With lens theory planned behavior, usage laptops, refrigerators, light electric fans was assessed. Emotions religion were included modelled assess their effect.

Global greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emissions have escalated to concerning levels. Given the growing urbanization, industrialization, energy consumption, it is crucial understand how from various sectors influence environmental sustainability in Pakistan. The prime objective of this study examine nexus between sectoral Pakistan, analyzing data 1971 2014. employs Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, Technology (STIRPAT) method Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model analyze patterns relationships, providing insights into each sector's contribute overall impact. results highlight that independent variables – economic growth, population consumption - are most significant contributors emissions, driven high fossil fuels. At an aggregate/disaggregate level, models show mixed associations dependent such as gaseous fuel liquid solid residential buildings, commercial public services, transportation sector with variables. Pairwise Granger causality confirms a unidirectional among pairs relationships. suggests policymakers Pakistan adopt multi-sectoral approach achieve sustainability.
