“…This suggests that an inverse U-shaped curve exists in the relationship between GDP and CO 2 emissions in the three countries (return points are 3.98, 4.42, and 4.14, respectively). These findings are in line with the conclusion of earlier studies (Intisar et al 2022;Wan et al 2022;Usman and Hammar 2021;Sadiq et al 2022). On the other hand, the outcomes exposed that population growth plays a pivotal role in CO 2 emissions in Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Turkey in both long-run and short-run terms, especially in Saudi Arabia where a 1% increase in population increases CO 2 emissions by 4.67% in the longrun term (2.11% in Algeria, 1.19% in Morocco, and 0.71% in Turkey).…”

“…Whereas uncertainty in both countries is largely related to global oil prices, and whether prices rise or fall, both countries will continue in the same context and export direction of oil exportation to avoid external shocks, which is what isolates the hydrocarbon sector from economic uncertainty. Consequently, despite external and internal shocks, carbon emissions will not change in the long run due to the stability of their economic situation (Sadiq et al 2022 ).…”

“…Today's scholars admit that humans have a significant impact on the climate system, and the debate is whether the economic expansion will automatically result in increased carbon emissions or not. Thus, several researchers (Qader et al 2021;Destek and Sarkodie 2019;Sadiq et al 2022) pointed out that the investigation of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis can give a holistic view of the link between economic growth and pollution. Kuznets (1955) studied several graphs of the economic inequality against per capita income over the economic development, but since then, Grossman and Krueger (1991) and Nemat (1994) have transferred the curve of Kuznets into a new model and new hypothesis, which is called the EKC.…”

This paper explores the influence of economic policy uncertainty on environmental quality in selected MENA countries depending on an augmented STIRPAT model over the period 1970–2020. ARDL model and its extensions like augmented ARDL, augmented NARDL, and MTNARDL models are applied to detect any possible effect from uncertainty index to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. The empirical results reveal the validity of environmental Kuznet curve (EKC) curve in all the countries. Moreover, the results show that the uncertainty index enhances environmental degradation, especially in extremely large changes in Morocco, Turkey, and Iran. Besides, the findings reveal that energy consumption and population in the entire sample escalates CO 2 emissions over the study period. Consequently, policymakers in MENA countries should consider the economic uncertainty index, particularly in light of its recent rise, when developing any strategies and plans aimed at improving environmental standards, as well as the need to encourage the use of renewable energies in order to increase the percentage of their contribution to total energy consumption.

Ecological welfare performance contributes directly to human well-being and regional sustainable development. Improving the regional ecological welfare performance in the process of pursuing green and sustainable development demands theoretical innovation and empirical exploration. Based on the super-efficiency SBM model, this study evaluated the ecological welfare performance of 108 cities during the period of 2009 to 2019. The Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition and spatial convergence model were employed to analyze the differences in ecological welfare performance across and within the study area and explore the underlining causes of such spatial differentiation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the upper, middle and lower reaches. It can be seen from the results that: (1) the overall difference in the ecological welfare performance of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is associated with a fluctuating downward trend during the study period. Regional and inter-regional differences were revealed and hypervariable density was identified as the main source of the differences. (2) The ecological welfare performance of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has absolute and conditional β convergence, and the ecological welfare performance of each city-region and surrounding urban areas has a positive impact on each other. (3) The difference in the spatial-temporal differentiation trend is manifested by the difference in the convergence rate. The cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River have the fastest convergence rate, followed by the cities in the upper reaches, and the cities in the lower reaches are the slowest. This geographic difference is mainly driven by the combined effects of industrial structure, urban characteristics, environmental regulation, foreign direct investment, and transportation accessibility. Finally, it is proposed that future policies should focus on the imbalanced regional development in the study area, and each region needs to explore ways to improve local ecological welfare performance according to local conditions, and ultimately promote the overall green, coordinated and high-quality development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

“…They recommended policy suggestions such as reducing the dependence on fossil fuel energy, investing in clean and modern technologies, investing in efficient production and environment sustainability, providing tax incentives for clean industries, and imposing tax charge for the dirty industries. Sadiq et al (2022) examined the effect of external debt on HDI (Human Development Index) and CO 2 emissions for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. They analyzed the effect of external debt on the environment via energy use and economic growth.…”

This paper analyzes the effect of external debt on emissions from coal consumption per capita for Turkey for the period 1970 to 2020 through gross domestic per capita and square of gross domestic per capita. Results confirm that coal Kuznets curve for Turkey but the effect of external debt on emissions from coal consumption per capita is insignificant and negative. Further causality is not analyzed since the main of the study is to analyze the effect of external debt on emissions from coal consumption. Although the effect of external debt on emissions is insignificant and negative, Turkey’s investments for clean energy sources to diversify its energy resources should be continued.
