“…However, Shahbaz et al ( 2014 ) proved that carbon dioxide emission is reduced in Pakistan after achieving the desired level of economic growth. In UAE, the consumption of energy to promote the economy of UAE, the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide gases are released and caused the environmental hazard (Jayaraman et al 2015 ). However, due to high energy consumption the environmental hazard is evident in Pakistan in the short and long run (Javid and Sharif 2015 ).…”

Graphical abstract A sizeable amount of scholarly work has been done on different aspects of financial, economic, and environmental factors. In the present study, the nonlinearity is determined between financial development and carbon dioxide emissions in the long-run and short-run periods. According to the finding, the continued financial development initially increases the carbon dioxide emissions in the short and long run. Simultaneously, the square term of financial development reduces carbon dioxide emissions and proves the inverted U-shaped hypothesis in the short and long periods. The consumption of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide emissions, leading to environmental pollution. In contrast, renewable energy sources have fostered ecological sustainability by reducing CO 2 emissions in the long and short term. At the same time, a positive response from labor productivity to carbon dioxide emissions causes environmental pollution, while capital formation is not acknowledged as a significant contributor to CO 2 emissions. The Error Correction term has ascertained the reduction in error and convergence of the model from short to long term with a speed of 8% per annum. The study suggested that renewable energy and financial development should be indorsed for environmental preservation in developing European and Central Asian economies. Financial development in favor of low-cost renewables, advancing cleaner production methods, solar paneling, and electrification are a few possible remedies to achieve environmental sustainability in the short-run as well as long-run time frame.

“…Hence, organizations should efficiently use the resources in order to configure corporate social responsibility that benefits sustainable practices (Sueyoshi & Goto, 2019). Workforce, labour and management are used by organizations to allocate resources effectively for adopting and practising ecological and environmental initiatives (Jayaraman et al, 2015). Institutional governance and management are necessary for the sustainable development and federal policies enhance resource management, agriculture production and sustainability practices in different rural sectors and rural areas that result in better environmental practices (Olson, 1992).…”

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become the main priority across the globe due to their significant role in economic growth and propensity. However, in particular, it is not yet known how governments can achieve SDGs through non-profit organisations (NPOs) by providing financial and non-financial incentives. The present study included 263 Pakistan NPOs in a primary survey using a questionnaire. The results obtained from the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) highlight that: (i) government incentives do not directly influence community development; (ii) The government non-financial incentives have a significant direct effect on environmental activities to reduce pollution, energy consumption and waste; (iii) Resource management fully mediates the paths between government incentives and community development while partially mediates environmental activities; and finally, (iv) resource management has a favourable influence both on the goals of community development and environmental activities. This research paper contributes to the knowledge in that government incentives do not have a direct influence on social development, but has an indirect influence through efficient management. Recommendations are that government and public bodies need to support NPOs to engage actively in philanthropic activities. Similarly, NPOs should efficiently utilize and manage the resources to benefit the maximum number of poor and needy individuals.

“…In this paper we extend the GP model developed in Jayaraman et al (2015a) to explore potential trade-offs among the objectives (GDP growth, electricity consumption, and resource allocation) with the possibility of increasing GHG emissions and its relative impact on energy planning for long-term sustainability. The GP model provides the ideal framework that a decision maker (DM) can use to obtain optimal solution for problems with multiple competing objectives to plan and prioritize resource allocations.…”
