“…Pakistan’s economy has relied on coal gas and petrol for an extended period, and a significant portion of the energy (64%) is produced from non-renewables; this is why economic growth over the years has worsened the environmental condition in the country. These results are similar to those of several studies [ 8 , 79 , 80 ].…”

“…Population growth increases CO 2 emissions in Pakistan in both the short and long term. The causality between population growth and CO 2 emissions implies that an increase in population rate can cause a surge in CO 2 emissions; however, CO 2 does not cause population; these findings are similar to the results of Chandia et al [ 80 ]. In the short run, technology and renewable energy do not share a causal relationship, but, in the long term, these two shares a bond in Pakistan, the empirical evidence of Geng and Qiang [ 88 ] also found the same.…”

Energy acts as a catalyst to boost the human development index (HDI) in a country. However, the overuse of energy leads to environmental deterioration, which is a byproduct of economic development. Due to the utilization of non-renewable energy sources for a long time, worldwide environmental conditions have become alarming. This study investigates the relationship between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, economic growth, environmental sustainability, and the human development index (HDI) in Pakistan. The investigation incorporates population growth and technology variables to form a multivariate framework. We use a fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) approach to time-series data from 1990–2017. To check the robustness of estimations, we apply the Gregory–Hansen test with a causality test under the VECM to confirm this association’s directions. Our findings confirm that non-renewable energy sources have a positive association with economic growth and CO2 emissions. However, human development, technology, and renewable energy boost economic development and reduce environmental pollution in Pakistan. The co-integration results confirmed the long run connectivity among all variables. The causality outcomes support the bidirectional causality between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and CO2 emissions, both in the short and long run. These outcomes suggest that Pakistan should focus on energy shifts and gradually increase the share of renewables in its energy mix under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Additionally, the government should increase human and technological development to enhance economic and environmental sustainability.

Higher education R&D expenditures (HEEXP) are one of the important determinants of economic growth that facilitates science, technology, new ideas, and innovation, but its effect on environmental sustainability remains unexplored. This paper examines the nexus between HEEXP and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e), followed by control variables such as electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, and total population for the period 2000Q1-2019Q4. Some of the key results are as follows. First, the present findings confirmed the long-run cointegration among variables. Second, the finding showed significant long-term negative nexus between HEEXP and CO2e. Third, the findings indicated that electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, and total population are the important factors that intensify the overall situation of CO2e. Fourth, the results indicated that there exist a bi-directional causality between EC and CO2e; FDI and CO2e; GDP and CO2e; POP and CO2e and HEEXP, and CO2e.

Henceforth, from the perspective of causal relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions by (Abdulrashid, 2016;Charfeddine & Mrabet, 2017) is bidirectional while for (Chandia, Gul, Aziz, Sarwar, & Zulfiqar, 2018;Uddin, Salahuddin, Alam, & Gow, 2017) is unidirectional moving from carbon emissions to economic growth for (Dong et al, 2018;Ssali, Du, Mensah, & Hongo, 2019) is also unidirectional but move from economic growth to carbon emissions.…”

The present study examines the asymmetric effect of financial development on the quality of environment in Nigeria from 1970 to 2018. The study employed the techniques of non-linear ARDL approach as well as Diks and Panchenko (2006) non-linear test of causality. A comprehensive index of financial development is constructed using PCA. The empirical outcomes of the study reveal that financial development in Nigeria impedes the quality of the environment. The government should encourage lenders to ease the funding for the energy sector and allocate financial resources for environment-friendly businesses rather than wasting them in consumer financing. Moreover, economic growth and FDI are positively and significantly related to carbon emissions. On this basis, the government should introduce environmentally friendly technologies that will help improve the quality of the environment, increase long-term sustainability, and save resources for generations to come. A key policy consequence of this study is also that the FDI inflow to pollution-intensive industries should be closely monitored.
