“…In this regard, such a relationship suggests that there is a need to synchronize redistributive policies and environmental policies between Asian countries either in national and regional levels (see e.g. Rasiah et al, 2018;Masud et al, 2018).…”

Widening income inequality and environmental degradation are two of the most important problems that threat the sustainable development. For that, this study aims to examine the effect of income distribution on CO2 emissions in seven Asian countries over the period 1971-2014 using a non-parametric panel estimation method and time-varying coefficients. Specifically, we apply the local linear dummy variable estimator (LLDVE) approach that allows evaluating the coefficients which vary over time for the panel data models. The results reveal that there is a strong non-linear correlation between income inequality and per capita CO2 emissions. The non parametric model suggest that there is a negative relationship between income inequality and environment degradation over the whole study period expect for the period 1988-1997 which was positive. Our findings broadly support the existence of the "equity-pollution dilemma", whereby income redistribution induces environmental pollution. This dilemma has potential implications for policies designed to promote redistribution in the selected Asian countries.

“…In fact, it is well known that sustainable transportation reflects the concept of sustainable development in the transportation sector. According to Rasiah et al [14], discussing sustainable development has become an important part of alternative green paths. The effect of sustainable transportation cannot be ignored in an urban area's growth and development process [8,[15][16][17].…”

This study aims to develop a sustainable transportation development strategy in Semarang City. Collecting data using interviews, and questionnaires. Source of data from keyperson with purposive sampling technique. Keypersons consist of the Head of Sub-Division of Transportation and Water Resources Planning, Expert Staff of Transportation and Water Resources Planning, Head of Pollution Control and Environmental Conservation Division of the Environment Service, Operational Manager of Trans Semarang BRT, Expert Staff of the Public Service Agency of the Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD). BRT Trans Semarang, Civil Engineering Lecturer in the Transportation Sector. Data were then analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The findings revealed that the development of transportation system facilities and infrastructure is the top priority for policy. The second priority is improving environmental quality and Government policy turns out to be the next strategic priority. The practical significance of this research is that the determination of strategic priorities can be applied to other cities that have characteristics as metropolitan cities and have a commitment to carry out sustainable transportation in order to achieve effective and optimal results.

“…In 21st century, adverse impacts of climate change caused major threats to socioeconomic development which particularly and severely affected the livelihood of rural farmer population (Eckstein et al, 2018;Nerrini et al, 2019;Kreft et al, 2021). Rising global temperature and weather pattern variation due to climate change caused severe losses to overall economic sectors whereas agricultural was hardest hit (Crane et al, 2017;Rasiah et al, 2018;Hussain et al, 2019). In global scenario, world's majority population livelihood directly depends and gains nutritional food from agriculture (Ahmad et al, 2019;Shah et al, 2020) whereas this sector confronted with climatic threats which has alarming implications of global poverty alleviation and food security (Daniell et al, 2017; Amare and Simane, 2018; Ahmad and Afzal, 2020).…”

Climate induced hazards has increased production threats to agriculture where such environmental risks can significantly reduced by adapting adaptation measures. In farm based adaptation measures specifically the autonomous adaptation aspect has not properly focused particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. This study attempted to investigate on-farm autonomous adaptation (OFAA) measures of wheat farmers to climate change and estimate its impact on wheat yield and total return. This research work used the data of 480 wheat farmer from production based six categorized higher vulnerable districts of Punjab, Pakistan. Probit model was employed to examine adaptation decisions determinants of farmers and Propensity Score Matching used for to investigate the impact of OFAA practices on outcomes of wheat crop. Estimates indicated as wheat farmers to reduce the unfavorable effects of climate change have applied different OFAA strategies such as seed varieties changing, fertilizer management, variations in cultivation dates and management of supplementary irrigated water. Probit model estimates illustrated as climate information access, credit access, ownership of land, off-farm income and ownership of tubewell considered significant determinants regarding adaptation decisions of farmers. Estimates of propensity score matching indicated as farmers those applied almost one OFAA strategy obtained 310kg per hectares higher wheat yield as US$82.75 per hectares return rather than those not applied any adaptation strategies. Adapter wheat farmers applied multiple adaptation strategies obtained higher yield and return rather than adapter farmers used limited adaptation strategies. Results imply as in developing sustainable farmers livelihood, adequate food production, reducing crops variability and climate change adverse impacts it is mandatory to applications of OFAA measures. The study also elaborated as for developing farm-level adaptation there is significant role of climate information, farmers schooling, access of credit and adequate irrigation.
