“…Thus, human capital acts as a critical moderator in the complex interplay between resource utilization and environmental sustainability. The findings enrich prior studies that demonstrated that HCI could help improve ecological stability (Segbefia et al, 2023;Tabash et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2023).…”

“…In Malaysia, Suki et al (2022) employed bootstrapped ARDL techniques and expounded that ERU, in the form of a cleaner source of power, helps improve the level of CEM. Several other studies have elucidated that ENG can be achieved through the use of energy, which also cause a rise in CEM Segbefia et al, 2023;Sun et al, 2022).…”

“…All the indicators were converted to their natural logarithm to ensure sharpness and reduce the amount of dispersion in the research panel data. Existing literature has articulated that the linear-log transformation has the following advantages: (i) it helps address the issues of heteroskedasticity and multicollinearity, and (ii) it yields more robust and effective outcomes when compared to the simple linear data approach (Segbefia et al, 2023).…”

“…In panel data analysis, the I'm Pesaran and Shin (CIPS) and Cross-sectional augmented Dickey-Fuller (CADF) approaches are valuable tools for assessing the stationarity of variables within a panel dataset. The CIPS and CDF test, a relatively recent advancement, is designed to account for both individual-specific heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, offering a robust way to determine whether a variable is integrated or stationary (Segbefia et al, 2023). These tests play a critical role in panel data analysis, helping researchers make informed decisions about the integration properties of variables, which is essential for modeling and understanding dynamic economic and social phenomena across time and individuals.…”

There is a call for global efforts to preserve the ecological systems that can sustain economies and people's lives. However, carbon emission (CEM) poses a danger to the sustainability of humanity and ecological systems. This analysis looked into the influence of energy use (ERU), human capital (HCI), trade openness (TOP, natural resource (NRR), population, and economic growth (ENG) on CEM. The paper gathered panel data ranging from 1990 to 2020 from the Central Asia region. The CS-ARDL was applied to establish the long-term interaction among the indicators. The paper findings indicated the presence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in the Central Asia regions. Also, the empirical evidence highlighted that energy use, natural resources, and trade openness cause higher levels of CEM. However, the research verified that CEM can be improved through human capital and urban population growth. The study also found that HCI moderates the interaction between NRR and CEM. The causality assessment indicated a one-way interplay between ENG, ERU, NRR, and CEM. The study proposes that in order to support ecological stability in these regions, policy-makers should concentrate on developing human capital, investing in renewable energy sources, and utilizing contemporary technologies to harness natural resources in the economies of Central Asia.

“…This effect is gradually strengthened as the proportion of RE use increases [22,23]. REIT exhibits significant regional heterogeneity in promoting CE reduction, enhancing CP, and transitioning to a low-carbon economy [24,25]. For instance, L. Xin et al developed an evaluation system to measure China's inclusive low-carbon development from 2006 to 2020.…”

Given the threats to international energy security and the restructuring of energy sources in various countries, China faces the dual challenge of achieving the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. To promote a reduction in carbon emissions and enhance carbon productivity, it is crucial to innovate renewable energy technology for long-term, low-carbon transformational development. This paper identifies the key factors that affect carbon productivity through pathway analysis and quantitatively examines the direct and spatial spillover impacts of technological advancements in renewable energy using the spatial Durbin model. Finally, this study verifies the pathways through which innovations affect carbon productivity by combining them with the spatial mediation model. The results indicate that innovations in renewable energy technologies significantly enhance carbon productivity. The indirect effects of regional spillover are even more pronounced.
