“…There might be different and large number of reasons for the positive impact of poverty (HCR) on environmental degradation in terms of CO 2 e. One is the indirect mechanism of CO 2 e and poverty; for example, to accelerate the process of industrialization, reduction of poverty might be one of the reasons to raise the level of intensity of environmental degradation in terms of CO 2 e. Encouraging and accelerating the process of industrialization is the key to enhance economic activities that will lead to higher economic growth, and therefore, reduce the intensity of extreme poverty . This process also worsens the quality of the environment (Jin et al, 2018). The empirical findings of our current study are consistent with the research findings of Dhrifi et al (2020) and Masron and Subramaniam (2019) for developing countries, Lu (2017) for 24 Asian countries, and Khan (2019) for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries.…”

Several researchers have studied the relationship between poverty and environmental degradation, as these concerns are remained at top priority in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the symmetric and asymmetric impact of poverty and income inequality along with population and economic growth on carbon emissions (CO2e) has not been studied in the case of Pakistan. For this purpose, the short and long-run impact of poverty, income inequality, population, and GDP per capita on CO2e investigated by applying the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) along with Non-linear Autoregressive Distributive Lag (NARDL) co-integration approach in the context of Pakistan for period 1971–2015. The symmetric results of the current study show poverty and population density along with GDP per capita increase carbon emissions in both the short and long-run, while income inequality has no impact on carbon emissions in the short-run. While in the long-run the symmetric results show that income inequality weakens environmental degradation in terms of carbon emissions. The analysis of NARDL also supports the results obtained from ARDL and suggests a positive effect of poverty, population, and economic growth on carbon emission in Pakistan. The empirical findings of the current study provide policy implications in light of the United Nation's SDGs for the development of Pakistan.

“…From 2007 to 2014, Jin et al (2018) The co-integration test also demonstrated that in the variables there were at least four co-integrating equations. For the Granger test, the link between poverty and CO 2 emission was only one-way, whereas the other factors were independent of the CO 2 emission.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between poverty and carbon emissions in South Africa covering the period between 1994 and 2020. The study employed the ARDL bounds test to assess the existence of a long run relationship between the variables. The results evidenced existence of a long run relationship between poverty, carbon emissions, economic growth and renewable energy consumption in South Africa. The results are such that carbon emissions have a positive and a significant effect on poverty in the long run. Therefore, with CO2 emissions having a positive influence on poverty, causes more losses in the socioeconomic system and reduces the ability of the population to cope with poverty. Therefore, it is recommended that the government should promote the growth of the South African carbon market, increase enterprise involvement through acceptable price and quota allocation, and work in tandem with other environmental measures to promote sustainable development. This will help alleviate poverty in South Africa.

“…Because of this, droughts, heatwaves, and floods are of particular concern for those in poverty (see e.g., Winsemius et al 2018). Due to these realities, countries around the globe are starting to integrate poverty alleviation programs into thier climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts (Bruckner et al 2022;Jin et al 2018;Malerba 2020;Nambiar 2019).…”

Queering Climate Change: Exploring the Influence of LGBTQ+ Identity on Climate Change Belief and Risk Perceptions*

Although researchers have broadly addressed how race, party identification, political ideology, and binary gender categories influence climate change opinions, little attention has been paid to the relationship between sexuality and gender variance (LGBTQ+ identity broadly) and climate change perceptions. Using a quota‐based survey from 2022 that approximates the US population on key demographic characteristics and oversamples LGBTQ+ individuals, we assess the degree to which LGBTQ+ individuals' climate change beliefs and risk perceptions are comparable to cisgender, heterosexual (cishet) individuals, specifically examining climate change beliefs, the perceived threat climate change poses, and worry about climate change. We argue that LGBTQ+ individuals' views are likely to be distinct from their cisgender heterosexual (cishet) counterparts for three reasons: climate change is likely to exacerbate existing structural inequalities, create disaster responses that reinforce heteronormative and discriminatory patterns, and activate LGBTQ+ political culture. We find evidence that LGBTQ+ individuals express higher agreement with climate change beliefs, identify climate change as a greater threat, and worry more about climate change when compared to their cishet counterparts.
