“…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.

“…Since the turn of the millennium, following new scientific insights economists became convinced that climate change and global warming were human-made problems (Stern, 2006;Nordhaus, 2019;Rasiah et al, 2018), which facilitated the deployment of computable general equilibrium models in climate projections to cap changes in temperature. Consequently, efforts to cap temperature rise through the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) gained currency as countries sought to substitute non-renewable sources of energy with renewable sources.…”

“…As countries became aware of the dangers of climate change and global warming since the launching of the annual Conference of Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC), participating nations agreed to reduce GHG emissions over the period -2012to 1990levels (UN, 1997. Subsequently, in 2015, almost all of the UN members pledged to contribute towards capping temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius over a century from 2005 levels (Rasiah et al, 2016;Rasiah et al, 2018;Alsaleh and Abdul-Rahim, 2019;Hussain et al, 2020;Mubarik and Naghavi, 2020), although the United States withdrew from that pledge in 2017. Unlike previous efforts, the COP meetings aim to mitigate climate change and global warming without compromising economic growth following the work of Stern (2006) and Nordhaus (2019).…”

WecomparePakistan's energy consumption structures toselected East Asian economies with a view towards ensuringan adequate supply ofpowerforeconomic catch-up and,at the same time,meeting the greening goalsenvisioned by the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change. The evidence shows that Pakistan relies significantly lesson non-renewable energy to meet its energy demandscompared to China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand,while itsdependence on fossil fuels has been rising rapidly.Usingdata forPakistan from 1960 to 2015, we deployed panel co-integration and Granger causality teststo analyse selected East and Southeast Asian countriesbefore exploring what it will takefor Pakistan to develop itsrenewable energy(RE)sector. The evidence showsthat catching up economically with these countriesthrough rapid GDP per capita growthwill exacerbate Pakistan’scurrent energy imbalance,thereby aggravating greenhouse gas (GHG) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.We argue that Pakistan enjoys strong endowments to avert this problem, and hence, it should strategicallyfocus on the development of RE resources, especially solar and windenergy,but only after taking account the relevant costs.

“…Moreover, warmer temperatures would also reduce the entire region's agricultural productivity. These risks would compound the ever-present threats of typhoons and volcanic eruptions (Rasiah et al, 2018). Geographically, ASEAN's countries are located in the Tropical Rain Belt and very near to the Ring of Fire.…”

Ecosystem services have rarely been discussed in the same framework with modern environmentalism. Therefore, understanding the interactions and relationship between ecosystem services and modern environmentalism was little to be known. We conducted a review of studies that aims to understand the relationship and interaction between ecosystem services and modern environmentalism to summarize research from this emerging topic and to identify the patterns for a new shift of these two concepts from different case studies. Our review found that ecosystem services and modern environmentalism can be described in the same particular framework. Therefore, this research also proposed an ecosystem services-modern environmentalism framework to help scientists in this area to have a better understanding of how these two concepts could be connected. In this paper, we also discussed and analyzed how the connection between ecosystem services and modern environmentalism in ASEAN can be the reason for numerous multilateral an environmental agreement such as the Paris Agreement.
