“…However, several studies have been done on the inter‐connection between meteorological factors and agricultural efficiency (Abbas et al, 2020; Ali et al, 2021; Baig, Chandio, et al, 2022; Chandio et al, 2020; Coulibaly et al, 2020; Gul, Chandio, et al, 2022; Gul, Xiumin, et al, 2022; Haile et al, 2017; Jan et al, 2021; Kumar et al, 2021; Mishra et al, 2016; Mujtaba et al, 2022; Nath & Behera, 2011; Ozdemir, 2021; Pickson et al, 2022a; Praveen et al, 2022; Zafar et al, 2022). Some of them emphasized crop‐specific work, including rice (Abbas et al, 2020; Baig, Chandio, et al, 2022; Baig, Irfan, et al, 2022; Gul, Chandio, et al, 2022; Gul, Xiumin, et al, 2022; Haris et al, 2013; Khanal et al, 2018; Korres et al, 2017; Kumar et al, 2020; Masud et al, 2014; Mujtaba et al, (2022); Pickson et al, 2022b; Rayamajhee et al, 2021; Shabbir et al, 2020; Yuliawan & Handoko, 2016), wheat and other crops (Bhardwaj et al, 2022; Ul‐Haq et al, 2022; Ntiamoah et al, 2022; Nasrullah et al, 2021).…”

“…However, the consequences vary in intensity and scale. One of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in South Asia in the globe (Bandara & Cai, 2014), with exponential population growth, natural resource degradation, poverty, and food insecurity (Lal, 2013) Praveen et al (2022 and Kumar et al (2021) explained that every country has its physiological features, and the impact of meteorological elements has distinct over the region worldwide. According to Bale et al (2002) However, several studies have been done on the inter-connection between meteorological factors and agricultural efficiency (Abbas et al, 2020;Ali et al, 2021;Baig, Chandio, et al, 2022;Chandio et al, 2020;Coulibaly et al, 2020;Haile et al, 2017;Jan et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2021;Mishra et al, 2016;Mujtaba et al, 2022;Nath & Behera, 2011;Ozdemir, 2021;Pickson et al, 2022a;Praveen et al, 2022;Zafar et al, 2022).…”

“…The effects of climate change (CC) may differ from region to region depending on the geographic features of the country and may degrade agriculture performance in low‐income countries (Abbas, 2022; Işık, 2013). Due to their significant reliance on agriculture for livelihood and well‐being, lack of technological innovation, and lack of climate change (CC) adaptation techniques in agriculture production, low‐income countries are more vulnerable than higher‐income countries (Praveen et al, 2022). Global temperature, carbon emissions, and precipitation are the meteorological factors that have the biggest effects on the way that the agricultural sector performs (Baig, Chandio, et al, 2022; Baig, Irfan, et al, 2022; Mujtaba et al, (2022).…”

This study aims to explore the long‐term (LT) and short‐term (ST) effects of meteorological factors and technological advancement on major crop production, that is, wheat, and rice, in India from 1990 to 2020. For this purpose, the authors also used other important controlled variables, that is, agriculture employment (AE), agricultural credit (AC), and cultivated land (AUR/AUW). For the estimation of data series, the study employed robust econometric techniques, such as the ARDL, FMOLS, and CCR framework. Empirical results reveal the long‐term relationship among meteorological factors, agricultural technologies, and major crop production (wheat and rice). In the case of meteorological factors, rainfall (RF) and carbon emission (CO2) have a positive and negative impact on wheat and rice production, while the mean temperature is negatively related to rice production and positively related to wheat production. Whereas agricultural technologies, such as fertilizer usage and farm machinery, improve wheat and rice crop production. The long‐term (LT) estimated findings are confirmed by econometric techniques such as FMOLS and CCR. The government should adopt necessary measures to achieve sustainable production and develop resilient hybrid seeds of rice and wheat that are well‐suited to agro‐climatic conditions in order to mitigate environmental degradation.

“…In order to meet the research objective, we combined the research model which surmises the environment in terms of quality and sustainability proposed by Bhutta [ 47 ], with the research models which include variables that characterize the agri-environmental policy proposed by other authors [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. The results of these combinations led to the development of three econometric models that can respond to the formulated hypotheses and cover the gaps in the literature in the field:…”

The aim of this research is to point out the impact that the application of the agri-environmental policy has on the economic growth and on the quality of the environment, these being the main aspects targeted by the practice of a sustainable agriculture. The research is conducted based on the agri-environment indicators for Romania for the period of time between 1997 and 2019. In order to answer the objectives of this whole research, we performed stationarity tests, a cointegration test and used the Fully Modified Least Squares (FMOLS) method to estimate the relationships between the variables included in the three proposed models. The obtained results highlighted the positive influence exerted by the area that was arranged for irrigation and the agricultural area that was arranged with drainage works on the GDP, but also the negative influence of the amount of natural fertilizers used in agriculture. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides generates an increase in environmental degradation, meaning CO2 emissions, while an increase in the agricultural area arranged with erosion control and land improvement works, leads to reducing environmental degradations. The limitations of this research lie in the fact that the agri-environmental indicators are specific to each country in the European Union and, therefore, it is difficult to make comparisons with other member states or to apply the measures recommended for Romania to other states with similar agricultural and economic systems.

“…In recent decades, environmental sustainability has been one of the most challenging issues for global leaders, policymakers, and scientists. Environmental sustainability requires meeting existing needs without jeopardizing the ability of forthcoming generations to fulfill their wants in the future [1]. As a broad concept, sustainability is applicable to every element of human existence on Earth at the local, regional, national, and international levels and throughout a wide range of periods.…”

Do Better Institutional Arrangements Lead to Environmental Sustainability: Evidence from India

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The efficient planning, execution, and management of institutional frameworks for climate change adaptation are essential to sustainable development. India, in particular, is known to be disproportionately vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. This study examines the effects of environmental taxes, corruption, urbanization, economic growth, ecological risks, and renewable energy sources on CO2 emissions in India from 1978 to 2018. Therefore, the ARDL model is used to draw inferences, and Pairwise Granger causality is also applied to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship. The empirical results show that corruption, environmental dangers, GDP, and urbanization positively influence India’s carbon emissions. However, the results of short-run elasticities show that carbon emissions reduce ecological sustainability. Environmental hazards and costs, like other countries, impact India’s carbon emissions. Therefore, decision-makers in India should set up strict environmental regulations and anti-corruption measures to combat unfair practice that distorts competition laws and policies. In addition, the government concentrates more on energy efficiency policies that diminish carbon emissions without hampering economic growth in the country.
