“…Table 4 reports the results of granger causality test. In the case of China, the positive causality between air freight and CO2 emissions runs from the former to the latter, implying that the growth of transportation leads to environmental degradation, which is in line with major empirical findings (5)(6)(7). The results also show a positive causality running from CO2 emissions to healthcare expenditure, indicating that environmental degradation causes increased healthcare expenditure, which is in line with major empirical findings (3).…”

“…Previous researchers considered transportation as the engine of the growth of an economy to investigate the transport-environment nexus ( 6 , 16 , 39 ). Moreover, prior studies considered environmental degradation as a major indicator resulting in health expenditures ( 21 , 22 , 46 , 47 ).…”

“…To have better human health in a country, there has been a growing trend to assess the impact of environmental aspects on a regular basis (3,4). In fact, transportation as an engine of economic growth directly affects the environment through the lens of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) (5)(6)(7). Therefore, relentlessly reviewing the dynamic relationship between transportation, environment, and health is very crucial to enhancing the growth of an economy.…”

Transportation and environmental degradation, with indirect and direct effects, play a significant role in determining the health of a nation's citizens. This study uses bootstrap ARDL with a Fourier function to examine transportation, environmental degradation, and health dynamics in the United States and China. In the long run, the results support the cointegration relationship between transportation, environmental degradation, and health in both countries. The results show the contingency of the causality where a negative impact of transportation on environmental degradation exists in the United States while a positive impact exists in China. The effect of environmental degradation on health is negative in the United States while a positive effect exists in China. Regarding the causal direction between the variables of interest, the implications provide policymakers in developing strategy and policy for sustainable development.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased globally 10% in the last decade, but there is a large variation in emissions trajectories by country. Understanding the main drivers of recent changes in GHG emissions is important to guide effective climate action. Using a narrative scoping review of academic literature, we access 648 abstracts and review 30 studies to identify statistically significant independent variables that were associated with GHG emissions nationally and multinationally (i.e., in country groupings) during or overlapping the period 2010–2019. We describe the findings in terms of potential reasons for the positive or negative associations, outline the strength of associations relative to other variables within the same study, and compare the associations to findings in other studies. We find that population, energy consumption, and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita are the most common independent variables associated with increases in GHG emissions, whereas the square of GDP per capita and renewable energy production are associated with GHG reductions. We assign GHG drivers to seven categories: economic, energy, demographic, technology innovation, transportation, policy, and others. We conclude by discussing implications for future research and climate policy.

“…Kalayci and Yazici (2016) investigate the exports of USA from 1980 to 2012 by analyzing the effect of trade volume and GDP on civil aviation through linear regression and Johansen co-integration tests and it is revealed that there is a long-term relationship between the relevant variables. Hassan et al (2021) analyze the validity of the EKC hypothesis in terms of aviation sector of 21 OECD countries by using the 1980-2018 period data and the GMM method. In the study, while an inverted U-shaped relationship is determined in the field of economic growth and passenger transportation by air, it was seen that there was a U-shaped EKC in the field of air freight transportation.…”

The major aim of this manuscript is to examine the long-run relationship between air freight, economic growth, energy usage and ecological footprint by employing Multivariate Regression (MR), FMOLS (Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares), DOLS (Dynamic Ordinary Least Square), CCR (Canonical Co-integrating Regression), and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) analysis for Turkey from 1970 to 2018 within the sense of EKC hypothesis. According to Multivariate Regression (MR) result of Turkey, air freight, economic growth, and energy usage influence the ecological footprint from 1970 to 2018. Besides, the long-term linkage of variables including air freight, economic growth, energy usage and ecological footprint is indicated through FMOLS, DOLS, CCR and GMM analysis which is verified the EKC hypothesis for Turkey. Thus, all-time series analysis of this paper confirms that air freight, economic growth, and energy usage cause environmental pollution between 1970 and 2018 for Turkey. When the empirical results are considered the Environmental Management System has not yet been established at airports open to international traffic. However, in order to meet the standards expected by international aviation authorities, it is necessary to develop practices in this regard at airports in Turkey. Today, when environmental pollution has reached serious dimensions, airport operators, local people and every unit of the aviation industry will go to produce solutions and take precautions together. With the Environmental Management System to be established within the airport, which is accepted as indispensable businesses in terms of social and economic aspects for the environment; it will be able to achieve sustainable development by increasing their performance in the new period. The use of renewable energy sources at airports will contribute to the process. Financial incentives should be provided to airline companies that are willing to invest in line with these targets, and tax exemptions should be introduced for such investments. Although it does not seem possible in the near future, it is important for the future sustainability of the sector to carry out studies on electric air transportation.
