Tourism-induced emission in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Panel Study for Oil-Producing and Non-oil-Producing countries

Festus Victor Bekun et al.

Summary: The tourism industry in Africa contributes significantly to economic growth and employment generation, but it also has negative environmental impacts. This study found that tourism, GDP growth, and foreign direct investment have a detrimental effect on environmental quality. However, renewable energy can help improve the environment. The causal analysis showed that there is a one-way causality between tourism and carbon dioxide emission, as well as between foreign direct investment and carbon dioxide emission, and urbanization and carbon dioxide emission. Therefore, strict environmental guidelines and regulations are necessary to control economic activities that negatively impact the environment.

The role role of Financial Development and Technological Innovation towards Sustainable Development in Pakistan: Fresh insights from consumption and territory-based emissions

Kashif Raza Abbasi et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic globalization, financial development, energy use, economic development, and technological innovation on consumption and emissions in Pakistan. The empirical evidence reveals that financial and economic development stimulate consumption and emissions in both the short and long run. Energy use intensifies consumption and emissions only in the long run. Economic globalization adversely affects consumption and emissions in the short run but increases consumption-based emissions in the long run. Technological innovations decrease emissions in the long term. The study suggests policymakers discourage non-renewables and increase renewable energy use to decrease consumption and emissions.
