“…In contemporary studies, the link between education, ICT, and the environment relies on the STIRPAT framework (see Ibrahim et al, 2017;Shahbaz et al, 2016Shahbaz et al, , 2019Shahbaz et al, , 2020. The framework was developed by Erlich and Hodren (1972) but was reformed by Dietz and Rosa (1997).…”

“…The intensive and extensive use of natural resources, particularly at the early stage of economic development, results in environmental pressure, which will eventually decrease (inverted U-shaped) as the economy reaches an advanced stage of development that permits the use of environmentally-friendly production technologies (Maneejuk et al, 2020). Due to some weaknesses of the traditional EKC caused by its failure to predict observable social factors (e.g., population growth), scholars have increasingly employed the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology framework (STIRPAT) as their analytical framework (Ibrahim et al, 2017; York et al, 2003). Interestingly, the dynamics of STIRPAT can facilitate the estimation of the impact of climatic change, ecological degradation, population growth, and energy consumption on economic growth as ecological degradation is treated as an endogenous variable and the impact of population on the environment is considered as unitary elastic.…”

Impact Analysis on the Effective Synergy Between Climate Change, Ecological Degradation and Energy Consumption on Economic Growth in Nigeria

There is growing global concern about the unpredictable nature of climate change and rapid ecological degradation, which has emanated from quest to enhance economic growth in many parts of the world. In spite of the potential offered by green energy, developing economies such as Nigeria are lagging behind in the application of renewable energy. The synergic impact of climate change, ecological degradation and some key macroeconomic variables remains partially unexplored. Considering this gap in the literature, the objective of the study is to examine the impact of climatic change, ecological degradation, population growth and energy consumption on economic growth in Nigeria. The dynamic impacts of these key variables were analyzed using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. While the bounds test results indicated that the variables are co-integrated, bidirectional causal flows were identified between economic growth, energy consumption, population growth, and climatic change. However, unidirectional relations exist running from ecological degradation to economic growth, as well as from population to economic growth. The study further found that climate change and ecological degradation are mutually reinforcing one another as a bidirectional causal relation was detected among the two variables. In this sense, it can be concluded that population growth, energy consumption, and ecological degradation are key contributors to sustainable growth that will reduce the threat of climate change. As such, there is a strong need for Nigeria to strengthen its environmental regulatory institutions to initiate a paradigm shift from conventional to renewable energy. This will reduce ecological degradation and enhance environmentally-friendly economic growth.

“…The relationship between public debt and environmental degradation is a renewable phenomenon, with extant literature suggesting that further studies could unravel a novel path through which the international community could reduce to the barest minimum the negative effect of rising human demand (or economic activity) on natural capital (or ecological footprint) (Ibrahim et al, 2017;Mert et al, 2019). Certainly, a plethora of literature has explored this effect via both supply and demand.…”

“…A strand of literature dealing with the supply aspect of this effect argues that public debt is the feedback that affects economic activities and hence their impact on environmental degradation (Mert et al, 2019). On the other hand, the demand side effect is rooted in the inclusion development drive, which increases public spending and thereby demands goods and services produced by companies, particularly those using production technologies that adversely affect the environment (Ibrahim et al, 2017).…”

As is glaringly apparent, the world is now bedeviled with environmental challenges and ecological complications. This may not be unconnected with the persistent ecological challenges emanating from fossil fuel consumption and changing lifestyles. This is why various attempts are ongoing to advance the course of renewable energy and economic growth as a response to environmental change. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the dynamic effect of external debt, energy usage, and real income on the ecological footprint in Turkey, covering the period 1985–2017. To achieve the stated objective, the study used the newly developed Bootstrap Autoregressive Distributed Lag (BARDL) test and the Granger causality test to unravel the co-movement as well as the direction of causality among the variables. The results revealed that external debt influences environmental quality in both the short and the long run. However, energy consumption and real income have been found to have retarded environmental quality in both the short and the long run. The Granger causality test results revealed that the causal flow direction runs from external debt, economic growth, and energy usage to environmental quality. Therefore, the study argues that for the Turkish government to achieve a long-term plan of environmental sustainability, there is a need for the government to venture into debt consolidation programs such as implementing tax increases and cutting public spending in order to increase fiscal space that would finance long-term environmental protection policies.
