The impact of human capital and bio-capacity on the environmental quality: evidence from G20 countries

Huseyin Unal et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of human capital, bio-capacity, energy use, and economic growth on the ecological footprint of G20 countries. The findings show that human capital has a negative effect on the ecological footprint in developed economies, while it is insignificant in emerging economies. Bio-capacity has a positive impact on the ecological footprint in emerging economies in both the short and long term, and only in the short term in developed economies. Economic growth and energy use have a detrimental effect on environmental quality in both groups of countries.

The role of government spending on energy efficiency R&D budgets in the green transformation process: insight from the top-five countries

Abdullah Emre Caglar et al.

Summary: The transition to a low carbon economy is becoming more feasible with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the reliance on fossil fuels and the need for renewable resources to mature pose challenges. This study examines the importance of energy efficiency research and development (R&D) budgets in the maturation process of renewable energy sources. The findings suggest that the current energy efficiency R&D budgets are insufficient to improve environmental quality, and economic growth and trade openness contribute to environmental damage. The countries with the highest budgets should increase their energy efficiency investments to achieve climate action and affordable and clean energy goals.

The impact of China's carbon-reduction policies on provincial industrial competitiveness

Q. R. Cao et al.

Summary: China's carbon-reduction policies have negatively impacted provincial industrial competitiveness, with a significant effect in the eastern regions and a smaller effect in the central regions. The carbon emission trading policy has generally had a positive impact on industrial competitiveness. Different types of industries have been affected differently, with extractive, low-energy-consuming, and high-tech manufacturing industries experiencing harm to competitiveness. However, there has been no discernible impact on high-energy-consuming industries. The carbon trading policy has improved the competitiveness of high energy-consuming industries provincially.
