“…In another global study, Lawrence et al (2022) found that the net cooling effect of forests (the net of biophysical and biochemical effects) is substantial, which also includes favorable spatial spillover effects. Similar results are reported by Li et al (2021) for 30 provinces in China. Muhammad et al (2020) analyzed the effects of trade on CO 2 emission and found that these effects are statistically significant, though their signs and magnitudes can vary across income groups.…”

This study explores the role of governance in shaping the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), especially focusing on its curvature and turning point. The study highlights the role of various governance indicators in the formulation, implementation, and enforcement of environmental regulations. However, the study asserts that since in developing countries poverty, infrastructure, and human development are valued above a clean environment, good governance is less likely to contribute to mitigating pollution in developing countries. Using a panel of 160 countries, the study finds that better governance helps bring down the critical level of per capita income at which the relationship between income and pollution turns negative. Furthermore, the EKC can be shifted downward by improving governance in the respective countries. The study, however, reveals that the dividends of better governance are more pronounced at higher income levels. Since good governance works only when the desired regulations are in place, it is recommended that for poor countries aid packages for governance reforms need to emphasize the enactment of specific environmental regulations. Investment in institutions is expected to yield maximum dividends in such countries that have gained high-income status but are still lacking in institutional development.

“…Resultantly, the public health degrades due to the high emission of greenhouse gasses. It has been proved that an excessive amount of carbon in the atmosphere destabilizes the environment, which adversely affects human health and increases hospitalization and deaths ( 19 – 22 ). Previously, few studied attempted to examine the nexus, however, as far our limited knowledge, the study is the pioneer which empirically investigated this nexus using GCC data.…”

The current study investigates the impact of economic growth, carbon emission, temperature, and environmental technology on public health in GCC countries. Panel data from 1990 to 2020 is used, and the panel unit root test is used to check the stationarity of the data. After cointegration analysis, the ARDL estimation technique checks the long-run and short-run association between variables. The results have proved that economic growth enhances exposure to PM2.5 and mortality but helps in increasing life expectancy. Likewise, carbon emission also enhances exposure to PM2.5 and mortality but improves life expectancy. As far as temperature is concerned, although it increases the exposure to PM2.5, it also increases life expectancy. It is also found that environmental technology enhances exposure to PM2.5. For policy implication, the study reports that investment in research and development and modifications the energy mix are key measures to enhance the public health in GCC countries.

“…The essence of regional ecological environment problems is population and environmental issues, and studying the impact of lifestyles on the environment is important for improving the natural environment (Li et al, 2021b;Sarwar et al, 2021;Mighri et al, 2022;Sarwar, 2022;Sarwar et al, 2022). The change of human living environment has a controversial effect on the ecological environment.…”

This paper focuses on the northwest region, which is related to China’s overall ecological security and ethnic stability. This paper selects the neighboring regions of Dingxi City, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture as the starting point, deeply and systematically analyzes the impact of different lifestyles on the environment. Using environmental economics, ecological economics, environmental sociology and other related theories, ecological footprint were used to investigate different lifestyles’ impact to environment. Neural network were also used to carry out multi-perspective environmental impact research from the spatial scale and time scale. The research finds that Dingxi, Gannan and Linxia’s different mode of production has led to different lifestyle, and results in different impact on environment. The governments of the three places should take actions to promote ecological civilization and encourage the establishment of an ecologically-friendly and environmentally-friendly way of life so as to reduce the impact on the ecological environment and realize regional sustainable development.
