Biomass energy consumption and its impacts on ecological footprints: analyzing the role of globalization and natural resources in the framework of EKC in SAARC countries

Usman Mehmood

Summary: Research examines the relationship between ecological footprints and biomass energy consumption in SAARC countries from 1990 to 2016, finding that biomass energy consumption increases ecological footprints, along with globalization and GDP. The Environmental Kuznets curve is not validated in the estimated countries, and one-way causality from biomass energy usage to ecological footprints is confirmed. Policy implications are suggested based on the empirical results.
