“…Recent Chinese studies, such as those by Hassan et al [174], Liu et al [175], Zhou et al [176], and Xie and Teo [177], highlight how China's investment in cleaner technologies and international trade participation have led to a shift towards less carbon-intensive industrial practices. Comparing these results with similar research, like that of Xie et al [178], Li et al [179], Zhang et al [180], Chi and Meng [181], and Boamah et al [182], we observe consensus in the positive correlation between economic growth and emissions. However, the extent of this relationship and its mitigation through technology and foreign direct investment vary.…”

This paper presents an empirical investigation into the effects of energy transition and digitization on carbon dioxide emissions, serving as a proxy for environmental sustainability, across 28 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2021. Utilizing both static and dynamic regression analyses, the study reveals a significant driving effect of the energy transition on environmental sustainability, primarily through a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Notably, this influence is more pronounced in the eastern region of China, followed by the central and western regions, indicating regional heterogeneity in the impact of the energy transition. Furthermore, digitization is found to have a substantial moderating effect, enhancing energy conservation and emission reductions. As digitization progresses, its capability to diminish the impact of energy transitions on carbon dioxide emissions becomes more apparent, particularly in the eastern region, while this effect is less marked in central and western China. The study also delves into the nonlinear relationship between energy transitions and carbon dioxide emissions, discovering that increased levels of digitization can exacerbate the negative effects of energy transitions on emissions. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of energy transition and digitalization, highlighting their crucial roles in shaping environmental sustainability in China.

“…For instant, changes in precipitation patterns can impact agriculture and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Pakistan (Manzoor et al., 2022). Climate change impacts exacerbate existing socioeconomic inequalities among marginalized communities (S. U. Khan et al., 2023). Addressing the impacts of climate change, therefore, requires a holistic approach that considers these socioeconomic disparities for environmental justice.…”

The increasing prevalence of warmer trends and climate extremes exacerbate the population's exposure to urban settlements. This work investigated population exposure changes to mean and extreme climate events in different Agro‐Ecological Zones (AEZs) of Pakistan and associated mechanisms (1979−2020). Spatiotemporal trends in mean and extreme temperatures revealed significant warming mainly over northern, northeastern, and southern AEZs. In contrast, mean‐to‐extreme precipitation changes showed non‐uniform patterns with a significant increase in the northeast AEZs. Population exposure to mean (extreme) temperature and precipitation events increased two‐fold during 2000–2020. The AEZs in urban settlements (i.e., Indus Delta, Northern Irrigated Plain, and Barani/Rainfall) show a maximum exposure to extreme temperatures of about 70–100 × 106 (person‐days) in the reference period (1979−1999), which increases to 140–200 × 106 person‐days in the recent period (2000−2020). In addition, the highest exposure to extreme precipitation days also increases to 40–200 × 106 person‐days during 2000–2020 than 1979−1999 (20–100 × 106) person‐days. Relative changes in exposure are large (60%–90%) for the AEZs across northeast Pakistan, justifying the spatial population patterns over these zones. Overall, the observed changes in exposure are primarily attributed to the climate effect (50%) over most AEZs except Northern Irrigated Plain for R10 and R20 events, where the interaction effect takes the lead. The population exposure rapidly increased over major AEZs of Pakistan, which could be more vulnerable to extreme events due to rapid urbanization and population growth in the near future.

“…Besides, the economy is widely regarded as the primary and most significant contributor to environmental deterioration (Khan MB. et al, 2022a;Ullah I. et al, 2022a;Irfan et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2023), as seen by natural resource depletion (Liang et al, 2022) on the one hand and rising energy use in industrial and agricultural activities on the other. As a result, economic studies to discover the most important causes of the continual deterioration of the environment have exploded in recent years.…”

Environmental quality and climate change have become hot topics among academics in all scientific fields in recent decades due to their impact on human health and economic development. Hence, this paper investigates the key factors of carbon dioxide emissions in India from 1970–2020 through the Bayer-Hanck test and Augmented ARDL framework on an augmented STIRPAT model, introducing uncertainty and globalization. We employ a set of unit-root tests and a combination of cointegration techniques (DOLS and FMOLS), which permit us to estimate the long-run and short-run relationships. Empirical findings confirmed that the series is I(1) series and there is the existence of a long-run relationship between our variables using three cointegration tests, meaning that the variables have the same behavior in the long run term. The findings revealed that India has an inverse U shape of the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) due to the positive association between GDP per capita and CO2 emissions until reaching a threshold, after which the link becomes inverse due to the negative impact of GDP square on CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated a positive influence of uncertainty and a negative impact of globalization on long-term environmental degradation. Besides, energy consumption and population density are positively associated with CO2 emissions in the long and short run. We advocate for policies that promote more trade openness by entering new markets and cooperating with new trading partners.
