Relating fiscal decentralization and financial inclusion to environmental sustainability: Criticality of natural resources

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: This study examines the moderating effects of natural resource dependence and abundance on the relationship between fiscal decentralization, financial inclusion, and energy and carbon intensity. The findings suggest that fiscal decentralization is beneficial for environmental sustainability, while financial inclusivity has a negative impact. Natural resource dependence and abundance mitigate energy and carbon efficiency and also moderate the influence of fiscal decentralization and financial inclusion on energy and carbon intensities.

Do energy and environmental taxes stimulate or inhibit renewable energy deployment in the European Union?

Eyup Dogan et al.

Summary: The modern lifestyle and economic development of the European Union countries are closely connected to high energy consumption and environmental pollution. Renewable energy has arisen as one solution to this problem, even though the obstacles and challenges regarding the deployment of renewable energy lie in high costs, technology and legislation. The investigation of the determinants of renewable energy has become very attractive and popular because of the Sustainable Development Goals and COP26 targets. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the role of energy taxes and environmental taxes in addition to that of economic and environmental indicators in renewable energy development for the panel of EU countries by applying reliable and robust econometric techniques to the annual data from 1995 to 2019. The empirical results suggest that an increase in economic growth and oil prices supports renewable energy while environmental taxes and energy taxes have a negative impact on renewable energy deployment in EU countries. Thus, it is crucial to reform the structure of taxes to support the use of renewable energy. In addition, increasing environmental taxes to transform EU countries into energy-efficient economies will require additional EU policy adjustments.

Combined role of economic openness, financial deepening, biological capacity, and human capital in achieving ecological sustainability

Gul Jabeen et al.

Summary: The growing human demand for natural capital driven by anthropogenic activities may result in ecological overshoot, therefore, it has become inevitable to rethink sustainable pathways. This study investigates the impact of economic openness and multifaceted capital on ecological sustainability using the panel quantile regression estimator. The findings suggest that economic openness and financial deepening undermine ecological sustainability, while human capital formation strengthens it.

How do transportation-based environmental taxation and globalization contribute to ecological sustainability?

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: Environmental taxation strategies are powerful tools for enhancing environmental quality globally, but their effects in the transportation sector have been overlooked. This study evaluates the effectiveness of green taxes and globalization in achieving ecological sustainability. The analysis reveals that while green taxes have a neutral effect in the short term, they promote ecological sustainability in the long run. Increased globalization also fosters ecological sustainability in the long term, despite its neutral impact in the short term. Additionally, energy intensity increases ecological footprint consumption, but the Environmental Kuznets Curve suggests long-term ecological recovery with higher economic growth. Causality analysis indicates a bidirectional relationship between all variables and ecological footprint consumption, except for globalization, which has a unidirectional link.

Muhammad Usman et al.

Summary: The study explores the impact of financial development, natural resources, globalization, and energy consumption on the ecological footprint in financially resource-rich countries, finding that financial development, natural resources, and non-renewable energy positively affect the ecological footprint, while globalization and renewable energy reduce it. The interaction between financial development with globalization and renewable energy with natural resources is also shown to reduce environmental deterioration, highlighting the importance of improving financial and natural resource structures and increasing renewable energy consumption in these countries.

The criticality of international tourism and technological innovation for carbon neutrality across regional development levels

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of international tourism and technological innovation in limiting carbon dioxide emissions in China at different provincial development levels. The findings suggest that international tourism development follows an inverted U-shaped curve with CO2 emissions. The impact of technological innovation on CO2 emissions is negative in highly developed regions, smaller in moderately developed regions, and neutral in the least developed regions. The relationship between international tourism development, technological innovation, and CO2 emissions is complex.
