Green innovation and carbon emissions: the role of carbon pricing and environmental policies in attaining sustainable development targets of carbon mitigation-evidence from Central-Eastern Europe

Adnan Khurshid et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of environmental regulations, green innovation, and carbon taxes on emissions reduction in 15 European countries. The results show that green innovation and environmental policies help reduce emissions in both the long and short term. Carbon pricing also mitigates emissions, but its effectiveness varies across countries. The study also finds evidence of both unidirectional and bidirectional causality among the variables, although some cases are country-specific.

Addressing the effect of meteorological factors and agricultural subsidy on agricultural productivity in India: a roadmap toward environmental sustainability

Imran Ali Baig et al.

Summary: This study investigates the key determinants of food grain yield in India, focusing on the impacts of climate change and agricultural subsidy. The results indicate that rainfall has a positive impact on grain yield, while temperature and carbon emissions have a negative effect. Non-climatic factors such as capital formation and fertilizer usage also contribute positively to grain yield, while crop area, agricultural subsidy, and employment have negative effects. The findings suggest the importance of technological innovation and precision agriculture in increasing agriculture production and productivity, as well as the need for policies addressing climate change and promoting eco-friendly renewable energy.

Assessing the long- and short-run asymmetrical effects of climate change on rice production: empirical evidence from India

Imran Ali Baig et al.

Summary: This study examines the asymmetrical dynamic relationship between climate change and rice production using the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model and Granger causality approach based on time series data from India. The findings indicate that mean temperature has a negative long-term impact on rice production but a positive short-term impact. Positive shocks in rainfall and carbon emission have negative and significant effects on rice production in both the long and short term, while negative rainfall shocks significantly affect rice production. The Wald test confirms the asymmetric relationship between climate change and rice production, and the Granger causality test reveals a feedback effect among mean temperature, decreasing rainfall, increasing carbon emission, and rice production, but no causal relationship between increasing temperature and decreasing carbon emission.

The nexus between urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, and CO2 emissions: evidence from selected Asian countries

Ahsan Anwar et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, agriculture, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in 15 Asian economies from 1990 to 2014. The results suggest that urbanization, financial development, and economic growth increase CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions, with agriculture having an insignificant impact. The study recommends a comprehensive SDG-oriented policy framework for these economies to progress towards achieving SDG 13 and SDG 7 objectives, contributing to the literature by including economic growth and its drivers.

Asymmetric impacts of natural gas consumption on renewable energy and economic growth in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates

Md Shabbir Alam et al.

Summary: The globe is facing ecological turmoil due to increasing global warming. Governments worldwide, including the UAE and KSA, are committed to decarbonizing the environment. This study evaluates the nonlinear impact of natural gas consumption on renewable energy consumption and economic growth in the KSA and UAE, considering other factors such as trade openness and CO2 emissions. The findings suggest that natural gas consumption has a negative impact on renewable energy but a positive impact on economic growth in both countries. The study provides important policy recommendations based on these results.

Technological innovation and environmental quality nexus in India: Does inward remittance matter?

Muhammed Ashiq Villanthenkodath et al.

Summary: This article examines the relationships between technological innovation and environmental quality in India, and finds that technological innovation and economic growth degrade environmental quality in the long-run, while there is a U-shaped relationship between inward remittances and carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, both carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth promote new technological innovation in the long-run. Therefore, it is recommended that India promotes eco-friendly technological innovation and reduces inward remittances for pollution-driving appliances on the policy front for mitigating climate change and global warming in the long-run.

Asymmetric inter-linkages between green technology innovation and consumption-based carbon emissions in BRICS countries using quantile-on-quantile framework

Asif Razzaq et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in BRICS countries, green technology innovation has a significant emission-reducing effect at high emission quantiles, while it is weakly or positively correlated with carbon emissions at low emission quantiles. Conversely, high carbon emissions instigate green innovation across medium to high emission quantiles. The results suggest that when a country has higher emissions levels, green technology innovation can help mitigate carbon emissions.
