Published: April 11, 2024

Abstract In recent decades, the detrimental impacts of climate change have been increasingly felt worldwide. This is due to extreme consumption natural resources fuel economic activity. Confronting a widening ecological deficit, humanity must urgently accelerate its journey toward sustainable development goals (SDGs). demands active efforts curb environmental pollution and protect resources, safeguarding planet for future generations. Since Brazil has high biocapacity areas, impact energy on sustainability policies cannot be excluded. Moreover, holds vital position in world global foreign direct investment flows. this regard, paper considers asymmetric mineral rents investments when investigating Brazil's sustainability. addition, it evaluates elements like growth low‐carbon from 1970 2021. To end, research applies Fourier nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model draws three significant conclusions. First, resource extraction undermines Second, inflow reduces load capacity factor, implying that haven hypothesis Brazil. Third, contributes Our findings highlight critical role regulating achieving SDGs increasing clean sources transitioning can promote The Brazilian government should abandon extraction, focus consumption, prevent companies destroying nature by introducing strict regulations

Technological innovation, trade openness, natural resources, clean energy on environmental sustainably: a competitive assessment between CO2 emission, ecological footprint, load capacity factor and inverted load capacity factor in BRICS+T

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Feb. 4, 2025

The study investigates the relationship between technological innovation, clean energy, trade openness, and natural resource rents on environmental sustainability within BRICS + T nations. Motivated by urgent need to address escalating CO2 emissions—reaching 36.4 billion metric tons in 2022—the research aims understand how these factors influence emissions, ecological footprint, load capacity factor, its inverse, contributing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). uses panel data from countries spanning period 1990 2022. Employing advanced econometric techniques such as Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression (DSUR), Cross-Sectionally Augmented Panel Unit Root (CUP-FM, CUP-BC), nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models, tests Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis evaluates asymmetric effects of variables. Key findings indicate that innovation consistently reduces emissions footprints, reinforcing role promoting through cleaner technologies more efficient industrial processes. Clean energy adoption has also been shown be a significant driver reducing degradation, with consistent negative while improving factor. However, openness exhibits dual effect. While it enhances use efficiency, simultaneously increases likely due heightened activity. Natural display mixed results: some cases, they exacerbate others, contribute funding eco-friendly initiatives. recommends nations prioritize investments green technologies, strengthen regulations, enhance international collaboration accelerate transition renewable energy. Policymakers should balance benefits stricter standards mitigate adverse sustainability. These integrated strategies are essential for achieving targets outlined SDGs.

The Impact of Non-Green Trade Openness on Environmental Degradation in Newly Industrialized Countries

Ekonomikalia Journal of Economics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 2(2), P. 66 - 81

Published: May 14, 2024

Environmental degradation due to human over-exploitation is one of the most pressing global issues. The ten Newly Industrialized Countries (NICs) have recently witnessed substantial economic growth and involvement in trade. In discussion on environmental degradation, trade has a crucial role. Scholars use openness test scale effect environment. This research investigates non-green openness, growth, energy consumption ecological footprint. Panel estimation techniques such as cross-sectional dependence, slope homogeneity, unit root, cointegration analyses are applied panel data NICs between 2003 2016. Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) method reveals that increases panel. Energy also found increase degradation. Moreover, Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis validated. presents few relevant policy implications. should invest green an energy-efficient economy focus stimulating catalyst for sustainable development order improve quality their can be done by introducing higher tariffs products investing technological innovations production methods renewable energy.

Abstract The escalating apprehension regarding climate change mitigation has intensified the quest for energy alternatives that are low in carbon emissions, economically viable, and consistently available. Within this context, renewable sources emerge as fitting candidates, being recognized their eco-friendliness cleanliness. Nonetheless, despite allure of transitioning towards cleaner energy, there exists a notable dearth literature addressing pivotal role solar innovations economic globalization advancing agenda (SDG-13), thus complicating prediction factors influencing ecological quality. Consequently, study undertakes inaugural investigation into impact innovation on footprint, while also considering influences digitalization, globalization, natural resources USA. To end, Quantile-on-Quantile Kernel-Based Regularized Least Squares (QQKRLS) wavelet quantile regressions (WQR) methodologies employed, utilizing data spanning from 2000 to 2020. analysis reveals innovation, along with exerts negative whereas exhibit positive influence. Drawing these insights, it becomes apparent concerted effort stakeholders policymakers is imperative realizing objectives SDG-13 SDG-7, necessitating paradigm shifts USA’s portfolio away fossil fuels renewables.

Enhanced light absorption and charge carrier’s separation in g-C ₃ N ₄ -based double Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalyst for efficient degradation of navy-blue dye

Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(1)

Published: July 23, 2024

Effective wastewater treatment is essential due to the dye environmental threats. Photocatalysis offers an eco-friendly degradation solution. Herein, we report a double Z-scheme photocatalyst, i.e. LaFeO3/Boron-doped g-C3N4/Fe2O3 (LFO/B-CN/FO), fabricated via hydrothermal method. The formation of this ternary system supported by structural, surface, and morphological analyses. Differential scanning calorimetry thermal gravimetric analysis demonstrated crystallization behavior composite. Because synergetic effects in composite boron doping, optical band gap energy reduced 1.6 eV. Under visible light irradiation, LFO/B-CN/FO nanocomposite degraded navy-blue 98% 130 min at neutral pH, surpassing CN, B-CN, binary composites B-CN with LFO FO. process was rationalized using pseudo-first- pseudo-second-order kinetic models, which confirmed high catalytic efficiency. heterojunction enhanced absorption, charge separation, carrier lifetime, hence improving photocatalytic activity. Overall, as-fabricated outperformed reference catalysts terms chemical reactivity, characteristics, electrical performance. This work opens up new route for design fabrication photocatalysts potential renewable applications.
