“…This type of energy usage is hazardous and inevitably raises the level of EF. The outcomes corroborate those of Kalmaz and Kirikkaleli (2019), Ji et al (2021), Abid et al (2022), andAkadiri et al (2022).…”

This paper offers a new indulgence to the present literature by integrating the role of fiscal decentralization (FD) in affecting ecological footprint (EF). So, this study considered the effect of FD on EF in the existence of energy consumption (EC), technological innovation (TI), gross domestic product (GDP), and trade openness (TOP) from 1990 to 2018 in Pakistan. We employ econometric methods like Bayer & Hanck cointegration, fully modified ordinary least squares, dynamic ordinary least squares, and canonical cointegration regression for empirical analysis. Moreover, the frequency domain causality test is used to conclude the causal impact of FD, EC, TI, GDP, and TOP on EF. The regression results disclose that EC, GDP, and TOP boost EF in Pakistan; however, FD and TI promote the sustainability of the environment by reducing EF. Besides, the frequency causality outcomes indicate that FD, EC, TI, GDP, and TOP have insinuations for EF in the long term. As a policy recommendation, this research suggests that Pakistan could successfully integrate strategies to increase ecological quality by allowing the lower level of government to utilize eco-friendly technological innovations.

Brazil’s ability to provide safe and dependable resources that can assist the nation achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2060 will have a significant impact on the nation’s sustainable development. Therefore, this study performs ARDL and frequency domain causality tests to evaluate the effect of disintegrated energy, technological innovation and economic growth on load capacity factor in South Africa between 1990 and 2018. The ARDL bounds test affirms a long-run interrelationship between the selected indicators in South Africa. The long-run elasticities show that economic expansion and nonrenewable energy deteriorate ecological quality, while green energy and technological innovation significantly boost ecological quality. The results of the frequency causality show that in the long-term, renewable energy, economic growth, technological innovation and nonrenewable energy Granger cause load capacity factor suggesting that the regressors can forecast the environmental quality in South Africa. Overall, these results demonstrate the significance of renewable energy in the fight against ecological deterioration. According to the aforementioned findings, South Africa’s environmental damage may be greatly reduced by renewable energy.

“…Ansari et al (2021) also found that renewable energy harms the EF. Abid et al (2022) confirmed that renewable energy can promote economic growth while improving the environment, and with the increase in urbanization rate, the negative effect of renewable energy consumption on the EF first weakened and then strengthened. Divided into different types of renewable energy, some scholars have empirically analyzed the reduction effect of solar and biomass energy on the EF (Hadj 2021, Sharif et al 2021.…”

The modern economic growth paradigm relies heavily on natural endowments. Renewable energy as a permanent energy source has the potential to reduce the ecological footprint. We adopt the Vector Autoregressive model to examine the impact of renewable energy consumption on the energy ecological footprint and use the quantile regression method to test the heterogeneity and asymmetry between energy ecological footprint and photovoltaic, wind energy, and biomass energy. The results show that renewable energy has a long-term negative impact on the ecological footprint, and for every 1% increase in renewable energy consumption, the energy ecological footprint will decrease by 2.91%. The contribution of renewable energy consumption to reducing the ecological footprint is 1.34% on average. There is no two-way Granger causality between renewable energy consumption and energy ecological footprint. The reduction effect of wind energy consumption on the energy ecological footprint varies the most, followed by biomass energy and photovoltaic. In addition, under different energy ecological footprint distribution conditions, the impact of photovoltaic or wind energy or biomass energy consumption on the energy ecological footprint is different.
