Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Published: Aug. 14, 2024

Abstract This study examines the multifaceted impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on environmental sustainability, specifically targeting ecological footprints, carbon emissions, and energy transitions. Utilizing panel data from 67 countries, we employ System Generalized Method Moments (SYS-GMM) Dynamic Panel Threshold Models (DPTM) to analyze complex interactions between AI development key metrics. The estimated coefficients benchmark model show that significantly reduces footprints emissions while promoting transitions, with most substantial observed in followed by footprint reduction reduction. Nonlinear analysis indicates several insights: (i) a higher proportion industrial sector diminishes inhibitory effect but enhances its positive transitions; (ii) increased trade openness amplifies AI’s ability reduce promote (iii) benefits are more pronounced at levels development, enhancing (iv) as transition process deepens, effectiveness reducing increases, role further transitions decreases. enriches existing literature providing nuanced understanding offers robust scientific foundation for global policymakers develop sustainable management frameworks.

Reinvestigating the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) of carbon emissions and ecological footprint in 147 countries: a matter of trade protectionism

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Published: Jan. 24, 2024

Abstract Environmental degradation has profoundly impacted both human society and ecosystems. The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) illuminates the intricate relationship between economic growth decline. However, recent surge in trade protectionism heightened global uncertainties, posing a severe threat to sustainability. This research aims investigate pathways through which protection, assessed by available openness data, influences nexus degradation. Leveraging comprehensive panel data spanning 147 countries from 1995 2018, this study meticulously examines non-linear dynamics among trade, economy, environment, with particular emphasis on validating EKC hypothesis. encompasses exhaustive regressions categorized across four income groups. substantiates validity of hypothesis within confines investigation.

Published: April 23, 2024

This study focused on exploring the impact of digital economy (DE) energy poverty (EP) across Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2018, motivated by critical need understand how technological advancements in sector influence accessibility and sustainability. Conducted against backdrop global transformation, research aimed dissect nuanced ways which DE contributes mitigating EP, employing dynamic panel threshold indirect effect models capture both direct nuanced, intermediate effects progress deprivation. Key findings revealed a significant reduction EP attributed DE, with most notable improvements observed Eastern China where strategic policies management practices enhanced positive impacts digitalization. The highlighted DE's role improving access, efficiency, environmental sustainability, although it also pointed out potential for regressive areas lower levels advancement. These are substantial value as they offer empirical evidence capacity alleviate underlining importance integrating strategies into policy planning. provides insights policymakers, stakeholders sector, scholars interested synergies between innovation security, suggesting that leveraging technologies could accelerate efforts towards achieving sustainable access combating potentially other contexts facing similar challenges.
