“…Elevated emission levels frequently characterize countries with greater trade-to-GDP ratios. This correlation can be attributed to trade and several factors, including transportation, increased output, foreign investment, and an increased demand for energy derived from fossil fuels (Ahmad et al, 2023). The beneficial effects of this phenomenon are observed to be more pronounced in more developed economies, as supported by empirical data and modeling analyses.…”

In today's global landscape, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in developing nations such as Pakistan. This knowledge is vital in informing effective policymaking and promoting sustainable development. This study investigates the impact of renewable energy (RE) on environmental degradation in Pakistan from 1990 to 2021. This study utilized the renowned ARDL econometrics to analyze the impact of renewable energy consumption (REC), economic growth (EG), trade (TR), financial development (FD), energy consumption (EC) and FDI on carbon emission. The study's findings confirm the presence of a hypothesis in the case of Pakistan. Additionally, the results indicate that certain factors have a negative impact on carbon emissions while others have a positive impact. The study's findings indicate that embracing renewable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency, and enacting legislative measures to decrease CO2 emissions are the most effective strategies for tackling climate change. Additionally, the study proposed that policymakers should prioritize encouraging and supporting using renewable energy sources in Pakistan. This involves establishing a conducive environment for investment in renewable energy projects, providing financial support, and promoting research and development in the renewable energy sector.

“…According to researchers, occupancy has the biggest impact on changes in energy consumption. Large household sizes were associated with a higher likelihood of using unclean sources of fuel for cooking, according to Ahmad et al, [19] Urban households and those with higher wealth levels were more likely to cook with clean fuel sources. According to Ali et al, [12], socio-demographic factors like income and household size that affect energy use incentives and restraints tend to be strongly linked to household energy usage.…”

“…A strong economy is necessary to meet people's demands and ensure efficient resource allocation. The economic system, particularly the householder's income, now determines the use of technology and, in turn, impacts the consumption of energy [17]; [18]; [19]. This is due to the increasing engagement of technology in our day-to-day lives.…”

Studies on energy conservation and household behaviour were predominantly based on econometrics using secondary data with limited studies employing the primary data. In addition, the use of secondary data from developing countries are not without their inadequacies due to missing data points. However, generating data may lead to over or under estimations which led to this study deploying structural equation model and making use of cross-sectional data from a developing country perspective. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 329 respondents in Akure Metropolis households, Nigeria, that were selected using a random sampling techniques. The study adopted the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling approach. The results of the study showed that socio-economic variables electricity price, household size, income, number of appliance and weather have significant effects on energy conservation behavior with income having the largest structural weight. This implies that income is of utmost importance to residents` electricity saving practices as householders consume more and save less electricity with more income. It is therefore recommended that energy conservation policy should aim at regulating the purchase of electricity units at household levels, where the rich pay more tax than the poor. This will foster energy saving improvement at households sector of the Nigerian economy.

“…The primary stakeholders must be involved for the activity to proceed because they directly and immediately affect the choice. According to Parboteeah and Cullen [19], secondary stakeholders are those who do not directly benefit from or are influenced by decisions made about the delivery of operations and maintenance (O&M) services. is to actively participate in the decision-making process directly, while another is to participate indirectly through elected officials and other representatives [18].…”

There is huge challenges in the supply of clean water for household consumption in many countries, in particular, Nigeria. Kogi West Senatorial District (KWSD) has witnessed more borehole projects in Nigeria but the challenge of clean water still persists. This has necessitated more research into the field of water resources to combat such challenges in line with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study assessed the effects of stakeholders’ involvement in KWSD, Nigeria, with a view to improving the delivery of borehole water projects in the study area. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 267 stakeholders comprising Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority (LNRBDA) staff, community leaders and community members that were selected using simple random sampling technique. The study objective was assessed with inferential statistics (Partial Least Square in Structural Equation Modelling). The results disclose the direct path coefficients for Initiation stage (bIS), Planning stage (bPS), Execution stage (“bES”), Monitoring and closure stage (bMS), Post construction stage (bPCS), Budget (cBG), Time Delivery (cTD) and Stakeholder’s Satisfaction (cSS). The results illustrated positives and significant relationship with bES -> cBG (β = 0.422, t = 5.708), bES -> cSS (β = 0.495, t = 6.366), bES -> cTD (β = 0.493, t = 7.422), bMS -> cBG (β = 0.164, t = 2.643), bPCS -> cTD (β = 0.257, t = 5.7084.440), and negative significant relationship with bMS -> cTD (β = -0.184, t = 2.547) and bPS -> cSS (β = - 0.182, t = 2.586). The study concludes that stakeholders’ involvement is a strong predictor of viable Borehole water projects delivery in the study area.
