“…Also, many studies have confirmed the significant impact of CO 2 emissions on agricultural output (Traore et al 2020). Climate change might have direct (e.g., temperature increase and change in rainfall patterns) and indirect effects (e.g., growth of diseases that cause higher costs and make crop management more difficult) (Qureshi et al 2016;Zaied and Cheikh 2015) on agricultural production. Besides, climate change will make the arable land less fertile for agricultural production.…”

This study assessed the long-run (LR) and short-run (SR) impacts of climatic and non-climatic factors, i.e., CO 2 emissions (CO 2 e), average level of temperature (ALT), average level of precipitation (ALP), area harvested of wheat and rice crops (AHW and (AHR), domestic credit (DCR), and agricultural labor (ALB) on wheat and rice production (WP and RP) in Turkey by using annual time series data ranging from 1980 to 2016 and by employing several econometric techniques. The autoregressive distributed lag-bounds (ARDL) approach and the Johansen and Juselius cointegration (JJC) test confirmed a valid long-term connection among underlying variables. The estimation results from the ARDL model reveal that climatic factors such as CO 2 emissions and temperature adversely affected wheat production in the long run as well as in the short run, whereas precipitation positively improved wheat production in both periods. Further results indicate that non-climatic factors like area harvested of wheat and domestic credit positively and significantly enhanced wheat production in the long run and short run. Similarly, CO 2 emissions also adversely affected rice production in both periods, while temperature and precipitation positively contributed towards rice production in both cases. In addition, area harvested of rice positively and significantly boosted rice production in the long run as well as in the short run, while domestic credit negatively influenced rice production in the long run but in the short run positively improved rice production. Additionally, the outcomes of the VECM Granger Causality for both rice and wheat production confirm that both climatic and non-climatic variables have a strong influence on the production of both crops. This study found that climate change has a deleterious influence on both wheat and rice production; therefore, the study suggests that temperature-resistant varieties of both crops should be developed and introduced by agricultural research institutions. In addition to this, up-to-date information is more needed related to climate change, and in the farming communities, it should be provided by agricultural extension workers.

“…For China decreasing carbon emission and promoting green energies in the next few decades were concluded by (Rehman et al 2021 ). Another study also delivers a positive relationship between carbon emission and agricultural production in Pakistan using a generalized method of moments estimator (Qureshi et al 2016 ). (Khan et al 2019 ) investigated the linkage between carbon emission, energy consumption, GDP, urbanization, and agricultural export trade of Pakistan over the period 1975–2017.…”

This study aims to contribute to the literature and examine the causal relationship between Pakistan’s agricultural products export, industrialization, urbanization, transportation, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. For the last four decades, time-series data were used to employ short-run and long-run nexus between the selected variables by analyzing the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL). The Granger causality test was analyzed to estimate the causality directions. The unit root test results indicate that all the selected variables are stationary at the level and first difference. The bound test confirmed that all variables are cointegrated at a 1% significance level. Long-run estimates suggest that an increase in energy consumption will increase the export of agricultural products. An increase in urbanization, transportation, and carbon emission resulted in a decrease in agricultural products export in Pakistan. In the short run, an increase in industrialization, transportation, and energy consumption leads to an increase in agricultural products export. Increasing urbanization and carbon emission decrease the agricultural products export of Pakistan. Based on our findings, we recommend sustainable agricultural production, renewable energy consumption, low carbon emission technologies, and a green portfolio for sustainable agricultural products export.

“…Once an industry is established in a place to manufacture certain goods, it generate changes on the socio-economic life of the people living in that area by providing employment and other business opportunities. On the other hand the activities of the industries also brings negative changes to the environment which affects the socio-economic development of the community, such as housing and pollution problems which includes air, water and land pollution with adverse effects on human, animal health, and other scenic resources (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Any substance in the air that can cause harm to human and the environment is known as air pollutant.…”

The main aim of the paper is to look into the effects of air pollution on socio – economic activities in Sokoto state, Nigeria, to sensitize the populace on the dangers associated with environmental pollution and possibly profer solutions to the problems. Secondary data was used to systematically review the literature through narrative method. Talcott Parsons ‘AGIL’ schema was used in this paper. The findings revealed some pollutants that were identified and widely associated with air pollution, especially with emissions from industrial activities, auto mobiles and other sources of pollutants that causes harm to both man and his environment. The findings also revealed that Sokoto Cement Company is supposed to be a source of development to Kalambaina community, through job creation, providing cheaper building materials and other social amenities, however, it has negatively impacted the community to a large extent by endangering the health of the populace, thereby, stagnating their socio-economic development. Recommendations were made that the government should create policies that will make the Company responsible for the damages caused by pollution to the host community.They should provide tenure employment, social amenities and also be made to implement environment friendly policies that will limit the pollution caused by the activities of the Company.
