Digital financial inclusion and energy and environment: Global positioning of Sub-Saharan African countries

Nancy Muvumbu Mukalayi et al.

Summary: The Bretton Woods institutions and the G20 are promoting financial inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to reduce poverty. The adoption of advanced financial services technology has facilitated the inclusion of many people in the financial system in these regions. This paper examines the impact of innovative digital services and financial inclusion on energy consumption and the environment in different countries based on their geographical location. The findings suggest that higher levels of financial inclusion are associated with increased energy consumption and CO2 emissions, but the relationship is not always linear between technology, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions.

Exploring the Road toward Environmental Sustainability: Natural Resources, Renewable Energy Consumption, Economic Growth, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Yugang He et al.

Summary: This paper examines the dynamic relationship between variables such as renewable energy consumption, economic growth, oil rent, and natural resources, and greenhouse gas emissions in China. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption and oil rent contribute positively to environmental sustainability, while economic growth and natural resources hinder it. These findings provide potential solutions for China's environmental sustainability.

Analyzing the Role of Renewable Energy and Energy Intensity in the Ecological Footprint of the United Arab Emirates

Eyup Dogan et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of real output, energy intensity, and renewable energy on the ecological footprint in the United Arab Emirates. The results show that energy intensity and renewable energy have a negative effect on the ecological footprint, while real output has a positive effect. This suggests that increasing real income leads to higher environmental pollution, while increasing renewable energy and technological advances help reduce emissions. The findings emphasize the importance of implementing programs and incentives to support renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies for environmental sustainability.

How financial inclusion affects the collaborative reduction of pollutant and carbon emissions: The case of China

Muhammad Shahbaz et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on pollutant and carbon emissions in 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2017. The results show that financial inclusion plays a role in reducing pollutant emissions, regardless of geographical location. However, its impact on carbon emissions is asymmetric and varies across different regions. The study also highlights the indirect effects of financial inclusion, such as through energy consumption and the renewable energy sector, on the reduction of pollutant and carbon emissions.

Financial inclusion and the environmental deterioration in Eurozone: The moderating role of innovation activity

Zeeshan Fareed et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between financial inclusion and environmental degradation and finds that innovation activity plays an important role in moderating this relationship. The findings show that financial inclusion leads to environmental deterioration in the Eurozone, but innovation activity can mitigate these negative effects. Additionally, economic growth and renewable energy consumption have positive and negative impacts on environmental pollution, respectively.

Eyup Dogan et al.

Summary: This research employs novel research methods in the energy-environment nexus and investigates the impacts of real output, unemployment, and renewable and nonrenewable energy on ecological footprint. The empirical results show that increases in unemployment and renewable energy decrease ecological footprint while increases in real income and non-renewable energy hurt the environment.

Examining the determinants of renewable energy deployment: Does the choice of indicator matter?

Eyup Dogan et al.

Summary: The study examines the determinants of renewable energy (RE) deployment and finds that economic growth and energy prices play crucial roles in influencing RE growth. However, using different RE indicators can lead to varying outcomes, which may result in inconsistent policy recommendations. The choice of RE indicator is critical in formulating reliable and consistent policy suggestions.

A threshold approach to sustainable development: Nonlinear relationship between renewable energy consumption, natural resource rent, and ecological footprint

Asad Ullah et al.

Summary: This study examines the nonlinear relationship between renewable energy consumption, natural resource rent, and ecological footprint in the top 15 renewable energy-consuming economies worldwide. The results indicate a negative association between renewable energy consumption and ecological footprint, as well as a positive relationship between natural resource rent and ecological footprint. It is recommended that nations shift their energy consumption policies towards renewable energy sources through investment in renewable energy technology and research for more sustainable development.

How renewable energy consumption and natural resource abundance impact environmental degradation? New findings and policy implications from quantile approach

Buket Altinoz et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of renewable energy consumption and natural resource abundance on CO2 emissions using quantile regressions. The results indicate that renewable energy consumption reduces emissions, while the effect of natural resource abundance varies across different quantiles. The validity of the EKC hypothesis is confirmed and policy implications are discussed in relation to these findings.

Summary: The study finds that there is a negative relationship between natural resources and renewable energy consumption with environmental quality, while non-renewable energy consumption, population growth, and biocapacity have a positive relationship with environmental quality. Additionally, there is a unidirectional causality from population growth to energy consumption, ecological footprint, and CO2 emissions.

Impact of energy intensity, renewable energy, and economic growth on CO2 emissions: Evidence from Africa across regions and income levels

J. P. Namahoro et al.

Summary: This study empirically examined the long-term impact of energy intensity, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions across regions and income levels over 50 African countries from 1980 to 2018. The findings revealed that renewable energy consumption contributed to mitigating CO2 emissions, while energy intensity promoted emissions across regions and income levels, and at the African level. Economic growth affected CO2 emissions negatively at the African level but the effect was mixed across regions and income levels. The study also found bi-directional causations between CO2 emissions and its determinants in African, and some regions and income levels, with unidirectional causation highly supported across regions and income levels. Impulse response and variance decomposition analysis showed that both energy intensity and economic growth counted higher variations of CO2 emissions, while renewable energy highly contributed to reducing emissions within 10 years.

Summary: The use of natural resources accelerates CO(2) emission in Pakistan, worsening environmental quality, but urbanization can improve environmental quality by reducing CO(2) emission levels. The presence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve is confirmed, along with the feedback hypothesis between natural resource use and CO(2) emission, and bidirectional causality between urbanization and the use of natural resources.
