Abstract Τhe current paper examines the relationship between per capita health care expenditures, CO 2 emissions, and gross domestic product (GDP) in G7 countries. At beginning, we examine cross-sectional dependence slope homogeneity Then, second-generation unit root test is applied using Pesaran, CIPS (2007) test, while for cointegration Westerlund (Oxford Bulletin of Economics Statistics 69(6):709-748, 2007) was applied. The long -run panel coefficients were analyzed with augmented mean group (AMG) estimators, which allow heterogeneity. Finally, by Dumitrescu Hurlin (Economic Modelling 29(4):1450-1460, 2012) used order to check causality taking into account heterogeneity on data. preliminary analyses show that variables are cross-sectional-dependant heterogenous first-order stationary. Cointegration allows there a stable long-run variables. Moreover, estimated AMG approach found be statistically significant positive GDP capita, negative case greenhouse gas emissions capita. revealed unilateral from towards expenditure all

The transition to renewable energy is critical for environmental sustainability, consistent with sustainable development goals (SDGs) 7, 8, 11, 12, and 13 of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Scholars have identified financial institutional quality as significant factors determining in developing countries.

Abstract Background Food insecurity and environmental degradation pose significant threats to health outcomes in South Asia, necessitating effective policy interventions. Therefore, this study aims examine the impact of food on outcome indicators amidst global inflationary shocks institutional quality arrangements. Additionally, it explore intricate moderating role relationship between insecurity, endogenous variables, external shocks. Method In alignment with study’s objectives, a set panel data spanning from 2000 2021 is compiled for Asia. The introduces novel variable representing shock, crafted through integration inflation datapoints application generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model. distinctive aggregate index formulated, drawing six key measures Worldwide Governance indicators. To scrutinize effects degradation, other explanatory employs two-step system method moment technique, offering robust analytical approach uncover complex relationships dynamics region.

Human activities are now adding rapidly more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere causing global warming which is one aspect of climate change, greatest threat public health. Therefore, this study aims compare health impacts change on Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, assessing their adaptation strategies in addressing challenges. This a descriptive Comparative Analysis, was performed by analyzing available data climate-related outcomes: food insecurity, emergence infectious disease car accidents comparing trends percentages between two countries. Lebanon has markable high CO2 emission, negatively affect people such as Food insecurity (in KSA: The estimated loss over periods all crops ranges from 7 25%, Lebanon: There decreased growth coveted crops, increased weeds pests), Road traffic (approximately 1.3 million die result road 20-50 suffer other injuries.), Emergence diseases an increase 1°C temperature caused significant (15-25%) malaria incidence, risk food- borne diseases, vulnerability rise food-borne vector-borne diseases.). Forecasting future for both countries reveal definite occurring. Further actions could be implemented overcome negative outcomes according each country. Agriculture Security, Use renewable energy, Awareness Campaigns measures that face change. Interestingly, there some organizations funding initiatives raising awareness Numerous sectors impacted serious issue requires immediate action. It substantial influence many different leads instability, agricultural issues, transmission, accidents. These elements require particular care, appropriate action should done eliminate them.

Beyond the direct effect of economic growth on child mortality in Sub‐Saharan Africa: does environmental degradation matter?

Sustainable Development, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 32(1), С. 588 - 607

Опубликована: Июль 22, 2023

Abstract Using a sample of 45 Sub‐Saharan African countries over the 2000–2019 period, this paper contributes to ongoing debate on health effect economic growth. Specifically, it investigates direct growth child mortality as well indirect through environmental degradation. Findings from panel‐corrected standard errors, feasible generalized least squares, and Driscoll Kraay errors show that has significantly decreased infant under‐five rates in Africa. However, results mediation analysis reveal that, beyond its effect, an greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing green policies should help minimize negative countries.
