“…The findings showed an absence of significant nexus between public energy RDE and do CO 2 E. Recently, in a study on selected Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations, Alam et al (2020) concluded that RDE helps to limit the growth of the CO 2 E figures of these nations. Similarly, Li and Jiang (2020), using data of the six highest carbon-emitting global nations, found evidence of RDE-induced TI being effective in decoupling CO 2 E from EG.…”

The group of seven (G-7) countries are seven of the most advanced global nations. Yet, these nations have not been able to achieve environmentally sustainable economic growth (EG) in the past. Consequently, despite growing economically, the environmental quality in the G-7 countries has persistently deteriorated. Hence, the present study examined the environmental impacts associated with EG, technological innovation, institutional quality (IQ), renewable energy consumption (RENE) and population using the carbon dioxide emission figures to measure environmental quality in the G-7 economies for the period 1996–2018. The econometric analyses involved the application of different estimation techniques that control the cross-sectional dependency and slope heterogeneity issues in the data. Overall, the results indicated that greater EG and higher population size increase environmental pollution by boosting the carbon dioxide emission levels. In contrast, technological innovation, IQ improvement, and greater RENE were found to impede the carbon dioxide emission levels. In line with these key findings, several environmental development-related policies are recommended.

“…For China’s provincial level [ 11 ], the decoupling effect of the economy and carbon dioxide and its driving force vary over time [ 12 ]. Li and Jiang [ 13 ] investigated that the decoupling situation between GDP and CO 2 in developed countries is better and more stable than in developing countries [ 14 ]. At the same time, trade openness [ 15 ] and R&D efficiency [ 16 ] effects were also the main driving forces of the decoupling process.…”

Population aging and environmental sustainability have become two hot topics in the world today. To clarify whether the Environmental Kuninets Curve (EKC) hypothesis between the economy and the environment is still valid in the context of population aging is the key to reveal the complexity of social-ecological systems in aging societies. So far, the impact of population aging on the environment has not been clear. To this end, an empirical analysis on the threshold panel model was conducted using panel data of 140 countries from 2000 to 2015. The global findings suggest that economic growth was the main reason for the increase in the ecological footprint at the beginning of aging. However, deepening aging weakened this association between economic and ecological footprints. For high-income countries, with the deepening of aging, the economic and ecological footprints were firstly negatively correlated, then positively correlated, and finally negatively correlated. In other words, the EKC hypothesis remained valid in high-income countries as aging deepened. In contrast, for the low- and middle-income group, the economic-environmental association was not affected by the degree of aging. This result sheds light on the variability of different income country groups in coping with the environmental impacts of aging. For the high-income group, policy makers should pay attention to the aging threshold in socio-ecological management. Only in this way can the development of aging and the ecological environment be reconciled to the greatest extent.

“…The CO 2 emission inventory provides a quantitative basis for CO 2 emission mitigation policies formulation and effectiveness evaluation of relevant policies (Ramaswami et al, 2008;Kennedy et al, 2010;Guan et al, 2018;Shan et al, 2018b;Chen et al, 2020;Murakami et al, 2020). Many studies have conducted decoupling analysis of CO 2 emissions from economic growth at the national and provincial levels, discussed the decoupling degrees, its drivers, and low-carbon development pathways (Muller, 2014;Ponce de Leon Barido and Marshall, 2014;Chen et al, 2018;Engo, 2019;Lu et al, 2019;Shuai et al, 2019;Li and Jiang, 2020;Raza and Lin, 2020). For example, based on the Kaya identity, Deutch (2017) analyzed the decoupling between CO 2 emissions and economic growth of the USA, China, and the World, and found that the degree of decoupling depended entirely on the reduction of energy and carbon intensity.…”
