“…The current issue with the ecosystem is that it lacks physical points of sale where one could say something like, "Sorry, we're out of stock." We must decide how much of the ecosystem to deplete and when to expect a return [33,34]. In this context, Pakistan possesses a plentiful supply of fossil fuels, raising questions about how the country's ecological wealth is reflected in exploiting these resources.…”

This study aims to fill a crucial gap in current research by examining the multifaceted relationships between energy depletion, technical cooperation grants, industrialization, and environmental degradation. By focusing on Pakistan, a country emblematic of many developing nations facing rapid industrialization and resource constraints, this research offers valuable insights with broad applicability. The significance of this study lies in its innovative approach of utilizing load capacity factor as a novel proxy for environmental sustainability, moving beyond traditional metrics like CO2 emissions and ecological footprints. The study analyzes time series data from 1970 to 2022 using advanced econometric techniques, particularly the dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of the impact of energy depletion, technical cooperation grants, and industrialization on environmental degradation. Energy depletion and industrialization are found to exert a significant and adverse influence on environmental quality, exacerbating degradation over time. Conversely, technical cooperation grants emerge as a mitigating factor, demonstrating a positive association with environmental sustainability. Moreover, the study conducts a sensitivity analysis by comparing the results obtained using the load capacity factor with those derived from ecological footprints. This comparative analysis offers robust insights into the dynamics of environmental degradation, enriching the understanding of the complex interplay between economic activities and environmental outcomes. Further, policies are discussed for theory and practice.
