The global climate is undergoing a significant and unprecedented transformation. The phenomenon presents a significant peril to the well-being of the human population, biodiversity, and the overall stability of the global ecosystem. This article explores the relationship and impact between environmental governance, green goods, non-green goods, and eco-innovation on material footprint and renewable energy for the BRICS countries from 2000 to 2019. We apply the FGLS and PCSE approaches to estimate the relationships, and the Dumitrescu and Hurlin test to ascertain causality. The study reveals that eco-innovation and environmental governance produce a statistically significant positive relationship with both material footprint and renewable energy consumption. Economic growth generates an insignificantly positive link with material footprint and renewable energy use. The findings also illustrate that non-green goods generate a significantly negative association with both material footprint and green energy use. Green goods depict a significant and positive relationship with material footprint, but a significantly negative relationship with renewable energy consumption in the BRICS situation. The causality results demonstrate a bi-directional causality association between non-green goods and material footprint, green goods and material footprint, renewable energy use and eco-innovation, renewable energy consumption and environmental governance, and renewable energy use and green goods. Moreover, a uni-directional causality relationship running from eco-innovation to material footprint, environmental governance to material footprint, non-green goods to renewable energy consumption, material footprint to economic development, and renewable energy consumption to economic growth is established. The study’s findings provide light on the association between the parameters and unsustainable and sustainable green practices on material footprint and renewable energy consumption, respectively, within the BRICS framework. These findings offer useful insights for policymakers, emphasizing the need for nations to work together in order to create a balanced and harmonious relationship between economic progress and environmental conservation from an emerging economy scale.

Clarifying the factors influencing CO2 emissions and their peaking pathways in major sectors holds significant practical importance for achieving regional dual-carbon goals. This paper takes Jiangxi, a less developed demonstration zone in central China, as an example. It pioneeringly combines the LMDI method, Tapio decoupling model, and LEAP model to multi-dimensionally analyze the driving mechanisms, evolution patterns, and dynamic relationships with the economic development of carbon emissions in Jiangxi’s key sectors from 2007 to 2021. It also explores the future carbon emission trends and peaking potentials of various sectors under different scenarios. Our results show that (1) Carbon emissions in various sectors in Jiangxi have continued to grow over the past fifteen years, and although some sectors have seen a slowdown in emission growth, most still rely on traditional fossil fuels; (2) Economic growth and industrial structure effects are the main drivers of carbon emission increases, with a general trend towards decoupling achieved across sectors, while agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and ferrous metal smelting have shown a decline in their decoupling status; (3) In the carbon reduction and low-carbon scenarios, the carbon emission peaks in Jiangxi are estimated to be 227.5 Mt and 216.4 Mt, respectively, and targeted strategies for high-emission industries will facilitate a phased peak across sectors and enhance emissions reduction benefits. This has significant reference value for the central region and even globally in formulating differentiated, phased, sector-specific carbon peaking plans, and exploring pathways for high-quality economic development in tandem with ecological civilization construction.
