“…Second, energy consumption exerts same sign effect on carbon emissions. The result is in consonance with the study of Gozgor and Can (2016). The effect was significant in the short-run, and insignificant in the long-run.…”

“…From our empirical findings, firstly, the EKC model is validated in the context of Nigeria in the long-run. Similar to the study of Gozgor and Can (2016) for China, it was established that a positive linkage exists between growth per capita and carbon emissions in Nigeria. This implies that growth per head intensifies CO2 emissions in the long-run.…”

“…The study follows the model of existing studies such as Avetisyan et al 2010; Cristea et al 2013; Gozgor and Can (2016) and Zhang et al (2017); on the validation of the EKC model. Our model also proposes that trade and transport services in the economy are important determinants of carbon emissions.…”

“…It was ascertained from the findings that in the long-run, there is correlation between international trade, carbon emissions, and real GDP, and trade activities reduces carbon emission through tecnological transfer. In China, Gozgor & Can (2016) argued that energy consumption and trade openness positively influence carbon emissions, while export quality has an adverse effect on carbon emissions.…”

“…From the reviewed studies, it is noted that most of them do not have a unite conclusion due to the scope, methodology and the country focus. While some studies (Xie et al 2017;Islam et al 2012;Wang et al 2016;Achike et al 2012;Gozgor and Can, 2016; among others) argued a positive link between trade activities and emissions, studies of Perers et al 2009; Cristea et al (2013), Hasson and Masih (2017) argued a negative nexus on the phenomenon. This study however deviates by using the ARDL model to test the EKC curve and considering transportation activities as one of the factors that significantly contributes to increasing environmental degradation in Nigeria.…”

This study investigates trade, transportation and environment nexus in Nigeria. The main objective of the study is to incorporate transportation activities and trade into the EKC model seeing transportation as an important factor that determines environmental degradation in Nigeria. Annual data from 1984 to 2014 is used in the study, whereas ARDL estimation technique was adopted to analyse the data. The results show that all the variables have a positive significant correlation with carbon emissions in Nigeria except trade that was negative and insignificant. According to ARDL estimates,trade, import transport services and GDP per capita have positive impact on CO2 emissions in the long-run while in the short-run, the result shows that trade, GDP per capita, energy consumption and transport services are capable of correcting about 74% deviation of carbon emissions back to long-run equilibrium. Based on the findings, drawn conclusion stipulates that energy consumption and trade are the main determinant factors that contribute to carbon emission and appropriate attention should be given to energy consumption by considering alternative efficient energy sources to curb the increasing emission in Nigeria.

This paper examines the impact of clean energy consumption (CEC) on economic growth (EG) and CO2 emissions (CO2) within a framework of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in a panel of BRICS countries for the period 1992–2014. The results indicated that CEC and EG have a significant positive impact on EG, while CO2 has a negative impact on it. Our results also found that EC and EG increase CO2 while CEC significantly reduces it. Further, we found that the EKC hypothesis is valid in the BRICS countries. Finally, panel causality test indicated that unidirectional causality running from EC to EG. However, we did not find a causal relationship between CEC and EG. Based on these results, some of the policy implications have proposed for these emerging market economies.

In the context of trade protectionism impacting economic and environmental sustainability, a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of trade on carbon emissions is critical to economic and environmental sustainability. Existing literature mainly explores the impact of trade on carbon emissions from the perspective of trade openness, neglecting the perspectives of trade diversification and trade direction. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the impact of trade openness (measured by trade volume, import, and export), and trade diversification (measured by import diversification and export diversification) on carbon emissions based on data from OECD and G20 countries between 1997 and 2019. The study further explores the heterogeneity, asymmetry, and mediation effects. The results demonstrate that (i) the impact of trade on carbon emissions is heterogeneous, with trade openness leads to an increase in carbon emissions, while trade diversification leads to a reduction in carbon emissions. Moreover, import diversification has the strongest effect on reducing carbon emissions. (ii) The impact of trade openness on carbon emissions is asymmetry. Trade openness increases carbon emissions at 10%–50% quantile levels and reduces carbon emissions at 80%–90% quantile levels. However, the impact of trade diversification on carbon emissions is consistent. (iii) The impact of trade openness on carbon emissions is mediated by technology effect and structural effect. On one hand, trade openness leads to an increase in carbon emissions by the industrial structure. On the other hand, it contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions by technological progress. These findings could serve to better understand the complexity of free trade's impact on economic and environmental sustainability.
