“…The growing environmental concerns motivate various governments and other related institutions to mitigate the climate change through lesser carbon emission while substituting renewable energy consumption for traditional fossil fuels (Parker and Blodgett, 2008; Ibeto et al ., 2011). In addition, adoption of renewable energy enables the net oil‐importing countries to halt the monopoly power of oil‐exporting countries (Klass, 2003; Umbach, 2010 and Eneh and Agbazue, 2011).…”

In the context of recent energy transition from hydrocarbon molecules to electrons, this research aims to examine the degree of substitution between renewable energy sources and fossil fuels through a dynamic framework of time‐varying parameters under state‐space model. For this purpose, this research selects four major oil‐importing countries and employs annual time series data for crude oil imports, gross domestic product, crude oil price, renewable energy consumption, population growth, real effective exchange rate and industrial production index for each country in the sample while covering the period 1991–2018. The estimates reveal positive and significant income, population and industrial production index elasticities for most of the countries in the sample. In addition, this research finds negative and statistically significant elasticity between renewable energy consumption and demand for imported crude oil for India, China and Japan, although magnitude is very small. However, there is insignificant and little substitution for US data. This research is unique as to our knowledge there is no such study available before and it provides insights for policymakers in oil‐exporting countries to develop sustainable long‐term diversification strategies to reduce reliance on oil revenues.

“…To confirm this, in another study institutional linkage at all levels found to be important to reach sustainable development (Budak and Yurdakul, 2004). In another study on Protection of Nigeria's Environment, Environmental sustainability education elucidated to be mainstreamed in the curricula of schools and universities while simultaneously awareness creation on environmental pollution is addressed (Eneh and Agbazue, 2011).…”

There are about 70% people living in cities in the world, however, urbanization in cities is still in progress. Urban development brings us economic benefits but also results in environmental pollutions. Steps taken to environmental sustainability can lead to the preservation of natural resources while welfare, economic and social dimensions are considered. There are lots of ways to reach sustainability, one of which is through abatement of air pollution which in turn would have direct and indirect impacts on environmental, economic and sociopolitical sustainability. This review outlines the issues concerned in air mitigation such as the use of renewable energies, the role of green lands and sustainable transportation as keys for sustainable development.

“…Given their economic influence and stability, institutions and infrastructures, their access to capital, information, and technology, developed nations are broadly considered to have greater capacity to adapt than developing regions or countries in economic transition (Goklany, 1995;Burton, 1997;Begum et al, 2011). Progress in agriculture, industry, transportation and technology are usually the barometer of economic development of any nation (Ene and Agbazue, 2011). Generally, countries with well-developed social institutions supported by higher levels of capital and human knowledge are considered to have greater adaptive capacity (Smith and Lenhart, 1996).…”

Direct and indirect socio-demographic attributes of the resource-poor farmers were determined in the study as potential controls of reactive and/or autonomous response to climate change. One thousand five hundred (1500) farming households (FH) were randomly drawn from six thousand (6000) estimated population of study in sixty (60) farming communities (FC) with the multi-stage survey research design. The critical path analytical technique with the multiple regression analysis backward solution was utilized to enhance understanding of patterns of relationships between eight socio-demographic variables. The variables were age of respondent, sex, educational level, average monthly income, cropping experience, crops grown, cropping pattern, farm enterprise and the response strategy/capacity (dependent variables). The sex, age and farm enterprise of respondent was shown to have 66% direct influence on the response capacity of the farmers, while the remaining five variables have accumulative 66% indirect effects. The direct socio-demographic factors that seemed more potent are suggested in planning adaptive responses built up to climate change for the farmers.
