“…Based on research by Abul (2010) conducted in Swaziland, waste pollution causes severe problems for the environment, and the health quality of 82% of the population living close to pollutant sources has decreased. Anthropological factors such as population growth and population migration play an important part in environmental quality, per the opinion of Alnour et al (2022), that population growth and urbanization play a critical role in shaping environmental sustainability in any country. Nelson et al (2006) mentioned that anthropogenic drivers have a strong relation to economic drivers, such as consumption, production, and globalization.…”

Environmental quality index is needed to describe the initial indication of the environmental conditions of an area in a certain period. Bekasi district, the largest industrial area in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, faces environmental damage that can threaten the quality of human life. Local governments need the determination of the environmental quality index of Bekasi Regency to get quick conclusions from environmental conditions in Bekasi Regency. Many factors can affect the environmental quality index in Bekasi Regency, both direct driving factors and supporting factors. Twenty-four assessment instruments must be assessed by nine expert panelists from several regional agencies. The Delphi method was used to obtain consensus from two rounds of interviews with expert panelists. Changes in land cover, type of land cover, household solid waste pollution, household liquid waste pollution, industrial air pollution, and industrial liquid waste pollution are the direct driving factors that most influence the environmental quality index in Bekasi Regency. Meanwhile, population growth and population migration are the supporting factors that most influence the environmental quality index in Bekasi Regency.

“…With a population growth rate of 2.32% in 2022, LDCs population growth is on a growing trend [ 102 ]. Based on the existing literature stipulating both negative and positive effects of population growth on EQ [ 103 , 104 ], the annual growth of the population was selected as an indicator in our context to determine its impact on LCF.…”

“…The results point to the role of NRRs in enhancing environmental sustainability. For the case of Sudan, Alnour et al [66] used the Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model for the period 1990Q1-2018Q1 and concluded that NRRs have a negative effect on environmental degradation. Arslan et al [67] examined the dynamics of NRRs, environmental sustainability, and sustainable economic growth in China for the period of 1970 to 2016 by using the Generalized Method of Moments, Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares, and Robust Least Squares estimations.…”

A comprehensive approach addressing the key factors exacerbating pressure on the environment is required to minimize the damages caused by global warming and environmental destruction. For this purpose, the present study investigates the effects of renewable energy consumption (REC) and natural resource rents (NRRs) on environmental degradation within the scope of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for ASEAN-5 countries. Differing from most previous studies, this research represents environmental degradation by using the ecological footprint pressure index, which considers both the supply and demand aspects of the environment. The present study covers the period between 1990 and 2018. This study employs the Moments Quantile Regression Method (MMQR), an advanced panel technique that yields reliable results on the outlier issue, endogeneity, and non-normal distribution. The MMQR results confirm the EKC hypothesis, assuming the presence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. Moreover, the results reveal that REC and NRRs reduce environmental degradation in all quantiles. Given these results, policymakers in the ASEAN-5 countries are recommended to utilize productivity gains from natural resource rents for investment in clean energy and to shift their energy consumption policies towards renewable energy technologies and research.
