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.

Investigating the impact of GDP, energy mix, energy intensity, and the service sector on environmental pollution in MENA countries: An application of Driscoll-Kraay standard error approach

Social Sciences & Humanities Open, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10, P. 101087 - 101087

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The goal of this study is to explore the stochastic impacts population, GDP, renewable energy, fossil fuels, energy intensity, and service sector on environmental pollution through regression analysis. To achieve goal, employed Driscoll-Kraay standard error approach for "Middle East North African (MENA)" countries. assured a balanced panel data from 1997 2021 applied STIRPAT model test which variables are responsible in MENA region. study's findings show that factors such as population size, gross domestic product, use intensity all contribute pollution. On other hand, using strengthening can reduce long-term have proposed various policy implications countries pollution, including carbon greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation, considering sustainable development goals 7 13.

The influence of economic growth, fossil and renewable energy, technological innovation, and globalisation on carbon dioxide emissions in South Africa

Carbon Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 3(1)

Published: Oct. 11, 2024

Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), whose atmospheric volume has been increasing, is the principal greenhouse gas (GHG) that causes global warming and climate change. Climate change from increasing gases (GHGs) broad health environmental influences. Human-emitted GHGs constitute a significant cause of warming. The main objective this article to assess influence technological innovation, economic growth, fossil energy use, renewable consumption, globalisation on CO emissions Es) in South Africa over observation period 1990–2020. Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) estimator was implemented examine relationship between constituents. study results indicate boost Es, whereas consumption reduces Es. output canonical cointegrating regression fully modified least squares estimators also supports DOLS estimator. We concluded that, Africa, rise an upsurge In contrast, increase leads reduction This research work contributes discourse Es African context. recommends policymakers should design policies foster formation low-carbon country, energy, implementation environment-friendly innovations reduce use energy.

Green growth transition and carbon neutrality nexus: A comparative study on the top carbon emitters

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 375, P. 124228 - 124228

Published: Jan. 29, 2025

This is a comparative study that investigates the role of green growth, technological innovations, agricultural eco-efficiency and trade openness on carbon neutrality in top three emitting countries, namely, China, USA India, using panel quantile regression with quarterly data for time period 2010-2022. The results reveal different findings which have important policy implications. Firstly, emissions vs growth innovation significant U-shaped relationship, indicate when innovations increases, rate continues to decline up threshold point start increase thereafter. Secondly, ecoefficiency has an inverted relationship emissions, showing agriculture increases point, starts declining afterwards. Thirdly, resulting environmental degradation may hinders achieving target. reduction policies such as taxes, promoting trade, emission trading schemes must acknowledge incorporate interplay among key stakeholders enhance their effectiveness.

Published: April 15, 2025

Ports play a critical role in global trade, yet they are both contributors to and recipients of climate change. This study conducts bibliometric analysis examine the relationship between change port operations, identifying key themes, methodological approaches, research gaps within literature, including need for standardized vulnerability assessments, policy-driven adaptation strategies, more integrated, cross-regional approach resilience. A was performed using peer-reviewed journal articles indexed Web Science. The employed keyword-based searches, document screening, techniques such as publication trends, keyword co-occurrence analysis, citation impact evaluation, clustering. Studies were classified based on focus, methods, data sources, geographic scope. reveals three major phases: theoretical contributions, empirical expansion, an intensified focus Key trends include sea-level rise, vulnerability, emission reduction. Quantitative methods dominate, though qualitative studies contribute governance policy discussions. Research resilience is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, integrating engineering, environmental science, policy, maritime economics. identifies United States, China, Europe, Mediterranean most focused regions port-climate research.

This paper looks at the changing impact of renewable energy and green innovation on carbon footprint eight MENA nations between 2000 2020. We investigate this by using panel Q-ARDL model for first time, we find that, with various impacts across different quantiles, a rise in greatly boosts environmental sustainability short run. In long run, effect becomes increasingly more noticeable. According to our analysis, chosen countries quickly embraced storage, solar hydrogen, other technology pathways diversify their mix, which was turning point fight against climate change. Although these factors have been separately examined studies, research merges them into single non-parametric model. is significant as it provides empirical evidence efficiency policies, will guide policymakers stakeholders developing strategies achieve sustainable development goals.
