“…This finding is similar to the results obtained in Bélaïd et al [55]. Therefore, efficiency improvement policies and energy conservation can be employed to reduce energy use (nonrenewable) and pollution emissions without disturbing economic growth in the region [57].…”

This study aims to examine the asymmetric nexus between CO2 emissions and renewable energy and economic and population growth in seven East African countries (EACs) at the regional level and country levels. Common correlated effect means group (CCEMG), nonlinear autoregressive distributed lagged (NARDL), and causality tests were employed for the panel data from 1980 to 2016. The main findings are as follows: (1) Renewable energy consumption negatively affects CO2 emissions, while economic and population growth positively affect CO2 emissions at the regional level. (2) The findings of asymmetric and symmetric linkages between CO2 emissions and its determinants (economic and population growth and renewable energy) are very volatile across the country levels. (3) The causality hypotheses are different across the country and regional levels. (4) This study shows the renewable energy growth nexus, wherein renewable energy positively affects economic growth at the regional level. Lastly, the study suggests potential policy implications for effectively reducing CO2 emissions as well as growing the economy at the regional level.

The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of the value of trade, investment, the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar, industrial added value, and oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions on Indonesia's economic growth. This study uses data from 1986 to 2018 and uses the ECM model. The results of this study are the value of trade, investment, exchange rates and industrial added value have an influence on economic growth both in the short and long term. Oil consumption and CO 2 emissions only have an influence in the long run. CO 2 emissions are the engine of economic growth, so Indonesia must change its economic development strategy that is environmentally friendly so that the next generation can utilize natural resources without damaging the environment. The use of natural resources in development needs to pay attention to environmental conditions so that environmental ecosystems are not disturbed.

“…Environmental pollution is mostly generated from production and consumption of especially fossil-based energy sources. 4 Therefore, as presented by the literature, many researchers 5–33 have been examining the long-run relationship between energy consumption and environmental pollution.…”

In this study, the long-term interactions between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, real gross domestic product, fossil fuel consumption, and financial development are examined for 15 emerging markets during 1980–2014 by using heterogeneous dynamic panel data techniques. Long-run elasticity results show that the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis is not valid for emerging markets. Besides, long-run findings reveal that fossil fuel energy consumption has a powerful negative impact on the environmental quality of emerging markets. Moreover, long-run findings of emerging markets show that 1% increase in financial development raises CO2 emissions at 0.76% level. Considering empirical findings, emerging markets should tend to use environmentally friendly technologies to avoid the possible environmental problems caused by pollution. Therefore, green energy investors should be supported by possible incentive policies. In addition, emerging markets should turn towards financial regulations, which extend credit channels for clean industries whereby emerging countries could achieve their sustainable development goals.
