Revealing the nexus between nuclear energy and ecological footprint in STIRPAT model of advanced economies: Fresh evidence from novel CS-ARDL model

Ahmed Usman et al.

Summary: With the increase in anthropogenic activities, there is a higher demand for natural resources such as water, energy, infrastructure, wood, resulting in climate change, land erosion, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This study investigates the impact of nuclear energy and human capital on the ecological footprint in advanced economies. The research findings indicate that nuclear energy can protect the environment and reduce carbon footprints, while human capital can decrease the ecological footprint. However, electricity consumption stimulates economic activity and increases ecological footprints.
