A Narrative Literature Review: What Is the Ideal Density for Environmentally Sustainable Urban Growth?

Natalia Bliznina

Summary: Urban sprawl and low-density zoning regulations have put pressure on urban growth, causing negative impacts. Compact urban form is considered a sustainable mode of growth. Research shows that densification without adequate public transportation access leads to more traffic, congestion, and CO2 emissions. Environmentally sustainable densities cannot accommodate detached housing. International agreements on CO2 emissions should be implemented at the metropolitan and municipal levels with statutory tools.

Exploring the links between fossil fuel energy consumption, industrial value-added, and carbon emissions in G20 countries

Yongming Huang et al.

Summary: The main objective of this study is to explore the relationship between fossil fuel energy consumption, industrial value-added, and carbon emissions in G20 countries from 1990 to 2020. The results indicate that the driving force of carbon emissions differs significantly between advanced and emerging economies. The empirical findings also suggest that factors such as trade openness, foreign direct investment, and government expenditures on health and education, research and development, and information and communication technology contribute to carbon emissions in G20 countries. The study highlights the importance of transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in order to achieve sustainable environmental goals.

Globalization and renewable energy use: how are they contributing to upsurge the CO2 emissions? A global perspective

Abdul Rehman et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of globalization, economic growth, population growth, renewable energy usage, and nuclear energy on CO2 emissions. The results indicate that globalization and economic growth have different effects on CO2 emissions in both the short and long term. Population growth has a positive impact on CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption does not affect CO2 emissions. Furthermore, positive and negative shocks to nuclear energy consumption are found to negatively influence CO2 emissions. Based on these findings, new policies and strategies are recommended for global carbon emissions reduction.

Can energy productivity gains harness the carbon dioxide-inhibiting agenda of the Next 11 countries? Implications for achieving sustainable development

Muntasir Murshed et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of energy productivity gains on carbon dioxide emissions in the Next 11 countries amidst their deteriorating environmental conditions. The findings show that energy productivity improvement and financial inclusion jointly reduce CO2 emissions, but a more inclusive financial system tends to amplify emissions. Furthermore, economic growth, international trade, and urbanization increase CO2 emissions, while greater renewable energy use curbs emissions. Heterogeneous outcomes are observed among these countries, with energy productivity improvement curbing emissions in eight nations and both energy productivity and financial inclusion mitigating and boosting emissions in 55% and 18% of the Next 11 countries, respectively.

Investigating the relevance of Environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis in Saudi Arabia: towards energy efficiency and minimal carbon dioxide emission

Marwan Abdullah Alsaedi et al.

Summary: The Saudi economy heavily relies on the energy sector, particularly petroleum-based resources. The increase in energy consumption has led to a rise in CO2 emissions. Modelling and predictions based on previous data (1980-2018) demonstrate an inverted U-shaped relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP, confirming the Environmental Kuznets curve. CO2 emissions appear to be both energy consumption and income elastic in the long run. Saudi Arabia should invest in energy infrastructure and implement energy management policies to improve energy efficiency.

Modeling the impact of climatic and non-climatic factors on cereal production: evidence from Indian agricultural sector

Abbas Ali Chandio et al.

Summary: The study examines the impacts of climatic and non-climatic factors on Indian agriculture, cereal production, and yield from 1965 to 2015. It finds that climatic factors like CO2 emissions and temperature have negative effects on agricultural output, while rainfall has a positive impact. Non-climatic factors such as energy use, financial development, and labor force positively influence agricultural production in the long term. Policymakers and governmental institutions should formulate adaptive measures and mitigation policies to address the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture and cereal production based on these results.

Summary: This study focused on the relationship between energy consumption and CO2 emissions in North Africa, finding that energy consumption worsened environmental quality by increasing CO2 emissions. Urbanization and economic growth were also found to contribute to higher CO2 emissions in the region. The study revealed bidirectional causalities between energy consumption and CO2 emissions, urbanization and CO2 emissions, economic growth and CO2 emissions, as well as urbanization and energy consumption, with unidirectional causalities from economic growth to energy consumption and urbanization. The findings underscore the need for North African countries to transition to clean energy sources to achieve a low-carbon economy.

The effects of environmental degradation on agriculture: Evidence from European countries

Duojiao Tan et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of environmental degradation, such as biodiversity loss, deforestation, and agricultural emissions, on agricultural production as well as cereal and vegetable production in 35 European countries. The results show that biodiversity loss harms agricultural, cereal, and vegetable production, while an increase in forest area positively affects cereal and vegetable production. Agricultural emissions do not significantly affect the three variables, but they have a negative effect on cereal production and a positive impact on vegetable production. Additionally, renewable energy use, political stability, and women empowerment have positive and significant impacts on all three dependent variables, while e-governance significantly and positively affects agricultural and vegetable production. Social progress has a positive but insignificant effect on the dependent variables. The study provides important policy implications for the agricultural sector in Europe.

The roles of energy efficiency improvement, renewable electricity production, and financial inclusion in stimulating environmental sustainability in the Next Eleven countries

Samiha Khan et al.

Summary: The economies and populations of the Next Eleven countries are expected to grow significantly in the coming decades, leading to increased energy demands. However, relying on traditional unclean energy resources can have adverse environmental consequences. Therefore, achieving environmental sustainability is crucial for these countries. This study explores the impact of improving energy efficiency, promoting renewable electricity production, and enhancing financial inclusivity on reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the Next Eleven countries. The findings suggest that energy efficiency improvement and a higher share of renewable electricity in total electricity production can mitigate carbon dioxide emissions in the long run, while financial inclusion, economic growth, and international trade are found to increase emissions. Additionally, the study reveals that energy efficiency and financial inclusion together have inhibiting effects on emissions, and this relationship is mediated and moderated by energy efficiency. These findings hold true when alternative estimation techniques and total greenhouse gas emissions are considered. The study recommends relevant policies related to environmental sustainability for the governments of the Next Eleven countries.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the impact of hydroelectricity use on Bangladesh's fossil fuel consumption-related carbon dioxide emissions and finds that hydroelectricity consumption and economic globalization jointly reduce emissions based on oil consumption. The results also verify the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis and suggest that financial sector development can effectively reduce natural gas consumption-related emissions while urbanization amplifies emissions from all three types of fossil fuels. Therefore, the Bangladesh government needs to prioritize the production and consumption of hydroelectricity to decarbonize its economy.
