“…The increase in investments in technological innovation, associated with the increased levels of CO 2 , enabled the assumption that this type of investment, adopted by the BRICS group, does not help them meet their sustainable development targets, and are geared to meet the market pressures, anticipating the consumer needs, as discussed by Hall and Vredenburg (2003). This confirms earlier results by Santana et al (2014), who stated that the investments in technological innovation made by the BRICS may not be focused on sustainable technologies that can reduce levels of CO 2 emissions. It is also consistent with the results of Amiolemen et al (2012), who affirmed that most emerging countries do not have the conventional technology to combat environmental pollution.…”

“…Indeed, the differences among countries such as economic development, input utilization and pollution abatement, inevitably lead to differences in environmental performances [143]. If implemented correctly, resource efficiency initiatives can increase competitiveness, ensure growth and employment, promote innovation, reduce resource requirements, and allow improved access to resources, also taking into account that if developing countries should consume at the same level of the richest countries, the Earth will be destined to a collapse [144]. Human communities are considered in relation to biological systems.…”

“…In the literature, there is a lack of in-depth analysis that comprehensively incorporates the dimensions of sustainable development. There are reports on research that combines in one study elements from various dimensions of sustainable development, for example from the ecological and economic [22,23], or that cover simultaneously all three dimensions of sustainable development for a selected group of countries [24,25]. However, with such a wide approach (estimation of the efficiency in all three dimensions measured by DEA) it is not possible to characterize each dimension of sustainable development with a large number of indicators (due to the limited discriminatory power of DEA).…”
