“…In the case of Majekodunmi et al [37] in Malaysia, contrary to prevalent assumptions, the authors posit that population growth and the integration of green technology exhibited an adverse association with CO 2 emissions. Paradoxically, exports and economic development emerge as catalysts for increased carbon emissions in the long term.…”

Carbon dioxide emissions is one of the main climate change causes. Nowadays is considered as one of the most important environmental degradation and air pollution in the world. The relationship between CO2 emissions and their socio-economic determinants is investigated in this study. It uses empirical analysis of significant impact of the economic growth, the tourism development, the globalization, the population health, the population growth and the energy consumption on our interest variable. Thus, we're going to select an econometric model, an Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) applied to a sample of 10 MENA countries. Our aim is to measure, long-run and short-run impact of the number of arrivals, the Foreign Direct Investment, government health expenditures, the energy consumption and the population growth rate on the CO2 emissions. All variables are observed from 1995 to 2020. The methodology adopted in this work is as followed: First, the statistical indicators for the sample are calculated. Secondly, the temporal series stationarity is checked by realizing tests of first and second generation. The Pedroni ARDL and Pesaran cointegration tests are then applied. Finally, Granger causality for panel data is used. The causality analysis between variables is carried out using the Dumitrescu and Hurlin's test. Findings reveal that, in the long term, tourism sector and energy consumption have significant and positive impact on CO2. But the economic growth and population growth influenced it negatively and they are statistically significant. In the short term, the dependent variable is statistically impacted by economic growth. The degrees and magnitude of the individual effects of the various variables on the Carbone dioxide emissions vary from country to an other. There are bidirectional and unidirectional relationships causality between different variables. Our findings can be helpful for policy makers seeking to achieve the sustainable development goals in MENA region.

“…Climate change primarily results from elevated emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases [Pujiati, et.

A relentless annual growth in CO2 emissions further worsens the challenges of climate change and global warming [Majekodunmi, et al (2023b); Pujiati, et al (2023b); Shaari, et al (2022b); Handayani,, et al (2022); Ridzuan, et al (2022b); Borhan,, et al (2021); Ridzuan, et al (2020b)].…”

In the construction and building industry, sustainable development is becoming a powerful force for economic, social, and environmental gains with fewer negative consequences for the environment. It is essential to establish green and sustainable practices in the building and construction industry in order to improve energy efficiency, particularly by utilising the newest green technologies. As a result, the study’s objectives are to first investigate the most relevant practices to be used for green building employment; second, evaluate the benefits produced by the execution of green building; and third, analyse the best practices of green building characteristics. The findings of this study showed that green buildings developed using energy-efficient systems and implementing sustainable practices can reduce energy consumption, as well as lower the cost of operating and maintaining these buildings in the long term. Meanwhile, the government’s role is essential to attracting more participants in implementing sustainable practices in the construction and building sector, especially through more stringent regulations and appealing incentives.

“…Increased CO 2 emissions and other greenhouse gases are the main factors that cause climate change [Pujiati, et.

Therefore, the inextricable relationship between global temperatures and greenhouse gases, especially CO 2, has been on everyone's lips.…”

Converging data have recently received attention due to the linkages between environmental pollution, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, as well as mental health. This encourages explored the intricate interplay between climate change, environmental pollution, and the Covid-19 pandemic, shedding light on their collective impacts on global mental health. The empirical evidence presented reveals how climate-induced disasters and pollution exacerbate mental health challenges, while the pandemic's multifaceted effects further compound these burdens. Vulnerable populations, including low-income communities, children, and frontline workers, face disproportionate mental health implications in this context. As the implications of this "triangle impact" become increasingly evident, urgent and comprehensive action is imperative. Policymakers and healthcare practitioners must adopt an integrated approach that incorporates climate adaptation measures, pollution mitigation strategies, and pandemic preparedness efforts to address these complex challenges. Equitable access to mental health services is crucial, recognizing mental well-being as a cornerstone of overall resilience. By fostering collaborative and empathetic action, society can forge a path toward a sustainable and mentally healthy future for all.
