Do Better Institutional Arrangements Lead to Environmental Sustainability: Evidence from India

Ishfaq Hamid et al.

Summary: Efficient institutional frameworks for climate change adaptation are crucial for sustainable development, especially in vulnerable countries like India. This study examines the impact of environmental taxes, corruption, urbanization, economic growth, ecological risks, and renewable energy sources on India's CO2 emissions. The results show that corruption, environmental dangers, GDP, and urbanization contribute positively to India's carbon emissions. However, short-term elasticity analysis reveals that carbon emissions are detrimental to ecological sustainability. It is important for decision-makers in India to implement strict environmental regulations and anti-corruption measures to combat unfair competition practices. Additionally, focusing on energy efficiency policies can help reduce carbon emissions without hindering economic growth.

How effective has the low-carbon city pilot policy been as an environmental intervention in curbing pollution? Evidence from Chinese industrial enterprises

Shubo Yang et al.

Summary: In response to China's environmental pollution, policymakers implemented a low-carbon city pilot policy (LCCP) since 2010 and expanded its scope. This study evaluates the consequences of LCCP using econometric approaches, finding that it significantly reduces enterprise pollution, promotes healthy urbanization, and is more effective in controlling emissions for foreign or private-owned, capital and technology-intensive firms located in eastern and western regions of China. The study supports the Chinese Government's LCCP policy and provides empirical evidence for the revamping strategy of carbon-neutral cities.

Analysis of China's heavy industry energy-related CO2 emissions and its influencing factors: an input-output perspective

Xiaolong Li et al.

Summary: This study uses the energy consumption method, input-output analysis method, and structural decomposition model to examine the energy-related carbon emissions and influencing factors of China's heavy industry. The findings show that the growth tendency of energy-related carbon emissions from China's heavy industry has been effectively controlled. Optimization of the energy consumption structure, upgrading of energy utilization technologies, and the generalized technological progress rate have an inhibitory effect on energy-related carbon emissions, while the final demand effect has an increasing effect. This study not only enriches the existing research literature on energy-related carbon emissions from the heavy industry in theory but also provides guidance for efficient control in practice.

Understanding the carbon emissions status and emissions reduction effect of China's transportation industry: dual perspectives of the early and late stages of the economic new normal

Tangyang Jiang et al.

Summary: With China's focus on green and low-carbon development, the transportation industry still has high carbon emissions. This study examines the carbon emissions and reduction effects of China's transportation industry in the early and late stages of economic new normal. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing energy consumption structure and utilizing low-carbon energy sources for emissions reduction, while the input structure effect has less impact. Furthermore, the final demand effect is identified as the main driving factor for CO2 emissions growth in the transportation industry.

Structural factors influencing energy carbon emissions in China's service industry: an input-output perspective

Jinghan Yu et al.

Summary: Existing literature primarily focuses on the carbon emissions of high-energy industries, paying little attention to relatively low-carbon industries like the service industry. However, with the service sector accounting for over half of China's national economy, its carbon emissions are becoming increasingly significant. This study examines the structural factors influencing energy carbon emissions in China's service industry using the structural decomposition model, input-output analysis method, and energy consumption method. The findings indicate that despite some alleviation, there is still significant pressure to reduce energy carbon emissions in the service industry in the future, as the proportion of high-carbon energy remains high and the energy consumption structure is not significantly optimized. The study also highlights the need for multiple approaches to effectively control energy carbon emissions in the service industry and identifies the input structure effect, energy structure effect, and final demand effect as drivers of its emissions growth.

Structural emissions reduction of China's power and heating industry under the goal of double carbon: A perspective from input-output analysis

Tangyang Jiang et al.

Summary: Since 2020, emissions reduction has been a key focus for the Chinese government. The power and heating sector in China accounts for about 50% of total energy utilization. This study examines the structural emission reduction of China's power and heating industry from 2007 to 2015 using various analytical methods. The findings show that factors such as energy intensity, input, and energy composition play a critical role in reducing CO 2 e emissions. The ultimate demand is identified as the core driving factor for CO 2 e growth in the power and heating sector. Low-carbon power has a reduction effect, while high-carbon energy sources do not show significant emissions reduction.

Going away or going green in NAFTA nations? Linking natural resources, energy utilization, and environmental sustainability through the lens of the EKC hypothesis

Atif Jahanger et al.

Summary: This study provides new insight into the relationship between economic growth, natural resources, renewable energy use, and carbon emissions in the context of NAFTA. The findings indicate an inverted U-shaped association between economic growth and carbon emissions, as well as a positive correlation between natural resource consumption and carbon dioxide discharge. Higher renewable energy consumption is associated with lower carbon emissions, but the pollution haven hypothesis is invalid. The ratification of NAFTA is found to promote economic progress but hinder environmental sustainability in the long run.

Short and Long-Run Causal Effects of CO2 Emissions, Energy Use, GDP and Population Growth: Evidence from India Using the ARDL and VECM Approaches

Duraisamy Pachiyappan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between CO2 emissions, GDP, energy use, and population growth in India from 1980 to 2018 using VECM and ARDL models. The results suggest a long-term equilibrium nexus between the variables, with Granger causality showing both short-term bi-directional and uni-directional relationships among them. Variance decomposition analysis indicates that future fluctuations in CO2E are mainly due to changes in ENU, and a 1% increase in PG will lead to a 1.4% increase in CO2E according to ARDL test results. The study also highlights important policy implications.

Energy carbon emission reduction of China's transportation sector: An input-output approach

Yang Yu et al.

Summary: The study found that improving energy efficiency is a key factor in reducing carbon emissions in China's transportation sector, while the steady growth of demand for transportation across all industries is the main reason for carbon emission growth. Dynamic optimization of industrial structure can help reduce carbon emissions caused by demand effects, and reducing the proportion of low-carbon and high-carbon energy consumption structures also helps to restrain the growth of carbon emissions.
