“…In the last two decades, consumers of products and services worldwide have increased dramatically, leading to the depletion of natural resources and severe environmental damage (A. Khan et al, 2021). Some of these severe harms include global warming (Klein & Anderegg, 2021; Liu et al, 2021), increasing environmental pollution (Chen et al, 2021; Ibrahim & Vo, 2021), and declining plant and animal species (Brei et al, 2016; Piqueray et al, 2011).…”

This study aims to extract, model, and rank reference groups on green consumer behavior to achieve environmentally sustainable development. This research was conducted in Iran in four stages. In the first stage, thematic factors were extracted through the research literature. These factors were expressed in 26 factors using expert opinions. A questionnaire containing 26 factors affecting the subject was

“…The theoretical framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) has been used in recent decades to examine the relationship between economic activities and the environment [25]. The literature that studies this relationship frequently uses carbon dioxide emissions as an indicator of the degradation of nature [26][27][28].…”

Effect of Agricultural Employment and Export Diversification Index on Environmental Pollution: Building the Agenda towards Sustainability

et al. 2022

Agricultural activities have a significant impact on environmental quality, because they generate waste that pollutes water and soil. In parallel, the supply of products has diversified in recent years to meet growing demand, exerting strong pressure on nature’s capacity for regeneration and absorption of waste. This research aims to examine the impact of agricultural employment and the export diversification index on ecological footprints, using advanced techniques of panel data econometrics. This relationship is moderated by population density and real per capita product. Cross-section dependence and slope homogeneity were included in the econometric models. The cointegration and causality analysis was reinforced by estimating the short- and long-term elasticities, using the AMG, CCE-MG, FMOLS, and DOLS models. Using annual data for 96 countries, we found a heterogeneous impact of agricultural employment and the export diversification index on ecological footprint, between the short and long term. The findings reveal that the increase of the product increases the pressure on the ecological footprint. The achievement of SDGs must include joint efforts between countries, and not in isolation. Those responsible for environmental policy should promote the idea that production must be friendly to the environment and promote the green growth of countries. The adoption of new technology, higher productivity agricultural employment, and the regulation of exports of sustainable products can contribute to achieving environmental sustainability.

“…Secondary industry is a major energy consumption sector and a high CO 2 emission sector [ 56 ], so industrial transfer and industrial structure are closely related to CO 2 emissions. Khan et al found that industrial growth contributed to the long-term rise in CO 2 emissions in seven South Asian countries [ 57 ]. Dong et al found that for both Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RECP) countries and non-RECP countries, the upgrading of industrial structure would help reduce CO 2 emissions [ 58 ].…”

As an important cause of global warming, CO2 emissions have become a research hotspot in recent years. Industrial transfer impacts regional CO2 emissions and is related to the low-carbon development of regional industries. Taking the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH region) as an example, this study analysed industrial transfer’s direct and indirect impacts on CO2 emissions based on a mediating model and two-way fixed effect panel regression. The results obtained indicate that industrial transfer-in has promoted CO2 emissions to a small extent, and the positive impact of industrial transfer-in on CO2 emissions wanes over time. Industrial transfer affects CO2 emissions by acting on the economic level, on population size, and on urbanisation level, but the indirect effect is weaker than the direct effect. Industrial transfer does not lead to technological upgrading, but the latter is an effective means of carbon emission reduction. Industrial transfer-in has shown a positive effect on CO2 emissions for most cities, but there are exceptions, such as Cangzhou. In the future, the BTH region should maintain coordinated development among cities and improve the cooperative innovation mechanism for energy conservation and emission reduction.
