“…Meanwhile, in another study by Lean and Smyth (2010) in the ASEAN countries, CO 2 emissions and electricity consumption were found to significantly influence the country's economic growth. The study by Ozturk and Acaravci (2010) was in agreement with previous studies by revealing a short-and long-run influence of CO 2 on the economic growth of Turkey (Gozgor et al, 2018), whereas the same directional relationship was found between energy consumption and CO 2 emissions in the work of Jafari et al (2015). In a study conducted on South Africa by Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010b), the study established that a long-run and unidirectional causal relationship exists between energy consumption, CO 2 emissions, and economic growth.…”

This study aimed at examining the synergy among economic growth, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, urbanization, and energy consumption in MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey) countries. Yearly data from 1993 to 2017, which were sourced from World Bank Development Indicators, were employed, and the analysis was performed by employing the ARDL Bounds test approach. The findings from the study reveal that the energy–growth hypothesis that assumed unidirectional causality from energy consumption was true for Nigeria and Indonesia, whereas Mexico and Turkey followed the feedback hypothesis, which indicates a bidirectional relationship. Meanwhile, all the MINT countries show a long-run relationship from economic growth, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions to urbanization. The study suggests that the policymakers in MINT countries should develop an energy conservation policy that will enhance the potential growth of their economy. More so, there is a need to promote green industries. Finally, to ensure sustainable urbanization in MINT countries, concerted efforts need to be made to ensure the reduction in the urbanization level, so as to ensure the sustainability of the urbanization, but without compromising the economic growth, through the formulation of policies that will ensure the decrease in CO2 emissions to achieve quality environment.

“…Three research aspects in literature exist on the relationship between economic growth, energy consumption and environmental pollutants (Acaravci and Ozturk, 2010a;Alkhathlan and Javid, 2013;Jafari et al, 2015;Baek and Kim, 2011). The first aspect, which is considered as one of the most significant empirical relationships tested in the economic literature, focuses on the relationships between economic growth and environmental pollutants: Farhani et al (2014b), Akpan and Abang (2015), Dinda and Coondoo (2006), Odhiambo (2011), Naraya andNarayan (2010), Kim et al (2010), Kim and Baek (2011), Ghosh (2010) and others.…”

Policy makers need to know the relationship among energy use, economic growth and environmental quality in order to formulate rigorous policy for economic growth and environmental sustainability. This study analyzes the nexus among energy consumption, affluence, financial development, trade openness, urbanization, population and CO2 emissions in Ethiopia using data from 1970–2014. The ARDL cointegration results show that cointegration exists among the variables. Energy consumption, population, trade openness and economic growth have positive impact on CO2 in the long-run while economic growth squared reduces CO2 emissions which confirms that the EKC hypothesis holds in Ethiopia. In the short-run urbanization and energy consumption intensify environmental degradation. Toda-Yamamoto granger causality results indicate the bi-directional causality between energy consumption and CO2 emissions, CO2 emissions and urbanization. Financial development, population and urbanization cause economic growth while economic growth causes CO2 emissions. Causality runs from energy consumption to financial development, urbanization and population which in turn cause economic growth. From the result, CO2 emissions extenuation policy in Ethiopia should focus on environmentally friendly growth, enhancing consumption of cleaner energy, incorporating the impact of population, urbanization, trade and financial development.

“…Salahuddin et al (2018) show no interaction between CO2 and real output In Kuwait, Wasti & Zaidi (2020) concluded that energy consumption and CO2 emission accelerate GDP. Chontanawat (2020) and Gorus & Aydin (2019) suggest no causal association between CO2 and real GDP in ASEAN economies for the period 1971 to 2015. , Aydoğan &Vardar (2020), andJafari et al (2015) revealed a one-way casual interaction from GDP to CO2 emission. However, Gao & Zhang's (2021)'s study showed that there is a unidirectional causal link from CO2 emission to GDP but a bidirectional causal link between CO2 emission and GDP was revealed by Wu et al (2018).…”

Following the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) which emphases on relevant concerns that encompass access to energy (SDG-7) and sustainable development (SDG-8). This research tends to re-examine the interaction between urbanization, CO2, capital formation, energy use, and economic growth in South Korea, which has not yet been assessed using the recent econometric techniques and data stretching between 1965 and 2019. The present study utilized the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL), Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS), and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) methods while for the causality direction the Gradual shift and Wavelet coherence method are utilized. The ARDL bounds test uncovers a long-run linkage between the variables of interest. Empirical evidence shows that emissions spur economic growth. Thus, there is also a necessity to change the energy mix in South Korea to renewables, based on increasing environmental awareness across the globe, to enable the use of sustainable energy sources and establish an environmentally sustainable ecosystem. Moreover, the energy-induced growth hypothesis is validated. This result is resonated by the causality analysis where energy consumption drives GDP one-way in South Korea. This suggests that South Korea cannot embark on energy conservative policies, as such actions will hurt economic progress. Additionally, unidirectional causality is seen between urbanization, trade opens, and economic growth. These findings have far-reaching consequences for GDP growth and macroeconomic indicators in South Korea.
