Will financial development and clean energy utilization rejuvenate the environment in BRICS economies?

Joshua Dzankar Zoaka et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between financial development, clean energy usage, economic growth, and environmental quality in BRICS countries. The results show that economic growth and labor force participation deteriorate environmental quality in the long run, while financial development, industrialization, trade openness, and renewable energy usage enhance environmental quality in the long run. In the short term, the impact of financial development on environmental quality differs among countries.

Environmental aspect of energy transition and urbanization in the OPEC member states

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: The study finds that fossil fuel utilization has a significant positive impact on environmental degradation in the selected OPEC countries, while the negative impact of renewable energy utilization and urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions is insignificant in both the short and long run. The current energy transition policy of OPEC states is not sufficient for environmental sustainability, and the Environmental Kuznets Curve is not valid in the panel of OPEC countries. The research also shows a uni-directional causality from income level to renewable energy consumption, and urbanization strongly Granger causes fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions among the countries.

Co2 emissions and economic development in Africa: Evidence from a dynamic spatial panel model

Delphin Kamanda Espoir et al.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth in African countries, finding that the Environmental Kuznets Curve holds for the overall sample, but varies in different countries due to heterogeneity. The research also revealed significant direct and spillover effects in the Co2-growth nexus across countries.

Modelling the effect of energy consumption on different environmental indicators in the United States: The role of financial development and renewable energy innovations

Ojonugwa Usman et al.

Summary: This study finds that energy consumption deteriorates the environment, while renewable energy innovations reduce CO2 emissions but has no significant effect on ecological footprint. It also confirms that the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis is valid only when ecological footprint is used as an environmental indicator. The causality results show various unidirectional causal flows between different variables, with policy implications including grants and subsidies for research in renewable energy to enhance sustainable environmental quality.

Time-varying causality between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption and real output: Sectoral evidence from the United States

Furkan Emirmahmutoglu et al.

Summary: The research investigates the time-varying causality between energy consumption by different sectors and real GDP in the U.S. The traditional causality approach and time-varying causality technique are both used in the study to determine the changing relationship over time. The results show that while causality relationships exist in industrial and transportation sectors, they are detected for all sectors over different time periods when using the timevarying causality technique.

A two-stage data envelopment analysis of efficiency of social-ecological systems: Inference from the sub-Saharan African countries

Mustapha D. Ibrahim et al.

Summary: The stress on ecological resources affects the sustainability of the socio-ecological system (SES) which requires employing effective indicators to evaluate SES efficiency. Improving food production, environmental performance, and human development can enhance SES efficiency, while reducing female proletariat and carbon emissions can promote sustainable development.

The impact of renewable energy consumption and environmental sustainability on economic growth in Africa

Hassan Qudrat-Ullah et al.

Summary: The study found that renewable energy consumption positively affects economic growth in Africa, while environmental sustainability may not be the top priority for development in the region at present. African governments should focus on developing the renewable energy sector and utilize policy instruments to foster rapid growth in both renewable and nonrenewable industries.

Clean energy development in the United States amidst augmented socioeconomic aspects and country-specific policies

Andrew Adewale Alola et al.

Summary: This study examined the driving impacts of economic policy uncertainty, trade policy, and national security on the development of cleaner energy sources, revealing that economic expansion and national security effectiveness significantly promote cleaner energy development, while tighter trade policies and high EU are detrimental. The findings suggest a need for cleaner and energy efficiency policy directives for policymakers in the United States and other countries to address climate action and sustainable development.

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: The study found that globalization, GDP growth, and technological innovation increase CO2 emissions in Japan, while renewable energy usage helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the short to medium term. Therefore, policymakers should effectively coordinate policies to curb environmental degradation in Japan.

The alternative energy utilization and common regional trade outlook in EU-27: Evidence from common correlated effects

Festus Fatai Adedoyin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between alternative and sustainable energy sources, trade, income, and emissions in 27 selected European Union economies. The long-term results reveal that sustainable energy sources have a negative impact on pollutant emissions, while trade and income have a positive impact on carbon emissions, with trade having an insignificant impact. The findings suggest the need for increased use of sustainable energy sources to mitigate carbon emissions in the EU.
