“…Empirical results from Ref. [ 38 ] confirmed this viewpoint by suggesting that NRR decreases LEX among countries heavily dependent on NRR, such as gas and fossil fuel. The results of this paper correlate with the findings from these studies [ 15 , 67 , 109 ].…”

“…The indicator for LEX at birth was selected based on the analysis by Refs. [ 5 , 27 , 29 ]; ECD [ [25] , [26] , [27] ]; HUC [ 36 , 49 , 50 ]; AIP [ 10 , 29 , 54 ]; REC [ 31 , 59 , 60 ] and NRR [ 38 , 45 ]. Following these prior studies, equation (1) will be used to determine the function of the antecedents of LEX.…”

“…The most regions with the effects were in the Sub-Saharan African communities. Likewise [ 38 ], conducted studies on NRR and longevity of selected African communities from 1980 to 2019. The findings demonstrated that coal, gas, and fossil fuels negatively influenced longevity.…”

“…In case of Africa, Lanre attempted to examine the impacts of structural change, natural resource dependence, environmental technology, and renewable energy in selected five top carbon-emitting African countries and concluded that structural change significantly reduce carbon emissions while environmental technology and renewable energy mitigate the surge in carbon emissions and natural resource dependence induces a substantial increase in carbon emissions. In addition, Omokanmi et al (2022) probed into the functional association between natural resources, environmental pollution, and longevity in selected resource-dependent African countries with the intervening role of income level and suggested that income significantly promotes longevity, and its interaction with natural resources moderates their adverse effects on longevity. Yu et al (2023) investigated into the tripartite effects of transportation infrastructure, economic growth, and renewable energy on crude oil imports for China and India and advocated that renewable energy hinders crude oil importation while transportation stimulates it in both economies.…”

Adequate attention has not been paid to understanding the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth at a sectoral level. This study attempts to understand and analyse the relationship between sectoral energy consumption and economic growth for China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand by employing techniques such as ARDL bound testing approach to cointegration and Toda Yamamoto causality test. Results suggests that for China and India, industrial energy consumption is cointegrated with economic growth and VECM indicates that it corrects itself after a deviation in the previous period by 31% and 46% resp. Agricultural energy consumption and economic growth are cointegrated for Indonesia and Thailand while variables are cointegrated in the service sector for the Philippines. Toda Yamamoto causality test for China, India, the Philippines and Thailand indicates that agricultural growth causes energy consumption while agricultural energy consumption causes growth in Indonesia and Thailand. Industrial growth causes energy use in India and Philippines while the reverse is in case of China. There exists a bi-directional causality in the service sector for India. In the Philippines, economic growth in the service sector causes energy use, while the reverse is true in Malaysia.

Global warming remains the most devastating environmental issue embattling the global economies, with significant contributions emanating from CO 2 emissions. The continued rise in the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions serves as a compelling force which constitutes the core of discussion at the recent COP26 prompting nations to commit to the net-zero emission target. The current research presents the first empirical investigation on the roles of technological advancement, demographic mobility, and energy transition in G7 pathways to environmental sustainability captured by CO 2 emissions per capita (PCCO2) from 2000 to 2019. The study considers the additional impacts of structural change and resource abundance. The empirical backings are subjected to pre-estimation tests consisting of cross-sectional dependence, second-generation stationarity, and panel cointegration tests. The model estimation is based on cross-sectional augmented autoregressive distributed lag, dynamic common correlated effects mean group, and augmented mean group for the main analysis and robustness checks. The findings reveal the existence of EKC based on the direct and indirect effects of the components of economic growth. The indicators of demographic mobility differ in the direction of influence on PCCO2. For instance, while rural population growth negatively influences PCCO2 in the short-run alone, urban population growth increases PCCO2 in the short-run and long-run periods. Nonrenewable energy, information computer technology (ICT) imports, and mobile cellular subscriptions serve as positive predictors of PCCO2, while ICT exports and renewable energy moderate the surge in PCCO2. Policy implications that enhance environmental sustainability are suggested following the empirical verifications.
