Abstract The global trend of environmental degradation, marked by escalating carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and expanding ecological footprints, poses a significant risk to the planet leads warming. This decline in environment is primarily attributed extensive use non-renewable energy sources substantial economic activities. study investigates dynamic impact (coal, gas, oil), renewable energy, growth, capital formation on CO footprint Indonesia spanning from 1965–2022. Employing Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), (DOLS), robustness test with Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR) techniques, we seek establish long-term associations among studied variables. Preliminary findings, supported our primary models, reveal that every increase coal gas directly results higher but does not affect footprints. Conversely, oil affects rise footprints emissions. Meanwhile, will reduce both consequently enhancing Indonesia's quality. Furthermore, increasing growth footprint, while reduces footprint. Granger causality showed unidirectional also revealed bidirectional between energy. clarifies patterns provides policymakers recommendations for maintaining sustainability, including investing transitioning away given pressing climate challenges goal achieving neutrality.

The main purpose of this study was to examine how tourism, GDP, renewable energy, and fossil fuels cause environmental damage. This examined ten African countries between 1997 2021 test the Kuznets curve (EKC) theory. Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Tanzania, Tunisia, Mauritius, Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria are with most tourists. In paper, augmented mean group (AMG), (MG), common correlated effects (CCEMG) models were used deal slope heterogeneity (SH), cross-sectional dependence (CSD), a mix first-differenced level stationary variables. Though inverted U-shaped exists, findings significant only for MG. impact energy is favorable environment AMG estimator. Inversely, tourist arrivals detrimental significant. Based on each country, tourism-based EKC theory works Tanzania. research found that using more minimizes CO2 emissions effectively in almost all except Morocco Ghana.

We apply an extended STIRPAT model, including variables with GDP, to examine case countries between 1990 2019. Quantile regression methods (Simultaneous, Powell, MM-QR) are applied together Dynamic OLS (DOLS), Fully modified (FMOLS), CCR. The results indicate that size (GDP) population linked increasing levels CO2. Whereas increased sources energy can help reduce environmental degradation. Similarly, interaction good growth is helpful for a sustainable environment.

Thus, it is important replace in generating economic activities leading country towards low carbon state. Despite environmentally friendly energy, most previous studies did not study consumption. Therefore, this investigates effects of selected macroeconomic determinants labour, capital, foreign direct investment, trade openness, financial development on Malaysia's growth from 1980 2019. The Augmented Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach employed, results show that plays a vital role boosting short long run. Based these findings, all sectors should consume more natural instead oil, including industries transportation.
