“…The result confirmed that higher economic growth substantially decreases high mass carbon emissions from the country, hence it is imperative to sustained economic growth in the long-run. The result is linked with the previous studies of Zaman et al (2015), Hassan and Nosheen (2018). where it confirmed that in Pakistan economy GDP support to reduce environmental degradation.…”

“…There results found positive impacts of energy consumption and technology on CO2 emission in long run as well as in short run in Thailand, while urbanization is not strongly correlated with CO2 emission and environmental issues. Zaman et al (2015) investigate the major drivers effecting long run and short run CO2 emission on the bases of time series data from 1980-2011 is taken for study by using the multivariate cointegration approach the results indicate that there is significant negative short run relationship between economic growth and CO2 emission i.e.-e by introducing low co-emission technologies relationship between economic growth and CO2 emission is also negative in long run. Yeh and Liao (2017) pointed out the impact of economic growth and population on emission of CO2 in developing countries.…”

This study examines the relationship between CO2 emission, economic growth, population and energy consumption in Pakistan during period of 1975-2016. The study evaluates IPAT (Impact of CO2 x Population x Affluence x Technology) hypothesis where CO2 emission is influence by high population growth, economic growth, and technology. The study use ARDL bounds testing approach to estimate short and long run elasticities. The results confirm that population growth and energy demand both increase the CO2 emission, while the relationship between GDP and CO2 emissions is negative in Long-run, because the development of new low-carbon technologies enables a country to reach the same production level but at lower CO2 emissions, that improve the air quality indicator in a country. The results conclude that IPAT hypothesis is verified in Pakistan economy. Where population growth influenced the environmental quality, the government should have to control high mass population growth by increasing family planning expenditure in a country. The renewable energy resources are further policy implication that is desirable to reduced energy associated emission in a country.

“…In the wake of recent industrialization, globalization, and intermittently pursued environmental conservation, the reality of broken synergies between economic growth and environmental safety is felt more now than before [9,19]. Therefore, the concerns of environmentalists on the need to safeguard the earth from destructive pollutants, which are often induced by our reckless economic activities, can no longer be jettisoned.…”

“…This is due to the fact that inability to ensure adequate waste management implies that some cities are gradually subsumed inside the end products of their domestic and economic activities [1]. Environmental pollution is therefore exerting unnecessary pressure on scarce land resources, thereby subjecting them to persistent sub-optimal allocation [9][10][11].…”

Environmental safety is one of the top policy priorities in some developing countries. This study analyzed the factors influencing waste disposal and recycling by households in South Africa. The data were collected by Statistics South Africa in 2012 during the General Household Survey (GHS). Analysis of the data was carried out with the Bivariate Probit model. The results showed that 56.03% and 31.98% of all the households disposed waste through local authority/private companies and own refuse dump sites, respectively. Limpopo and Mpumalanga had the highest usage of own refuse dump sites and dumping of waste anywhere. Littering (34.03%) and land degradation (31.53%) were mostly perceived by the households, while 38.42% were paying for waste disposal and 8.16% would be willing to pay. Only 6.54% and 1.70% of all the households were recycling and selling waste respectively with glass (4.10%) and papers (4.02%) being most recycled. The results of the Bivariate Probit model identified income, access to social grants, Indian origin, and attainment of formal education as significant variables influencing payment for waste disposal and recycling. It was inter alia recommended that revision of environmental law, alleviating poverty, and gender sensitive environmental education and awareness creation would enhance environmental conservation behaviors in South Africa.

Abstract:Exploring the short-run and long-run relationships between consumption of various sources of non-renewable energy, economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions would be considered as a golden key to provide rational energy policies of Iran in the post sanctions era. The aim of this paper is to find these mentioned relationships by using the Johanesen cointegration approach, the VECM Granger causality test, Generalized impulse responses functions and variance decomposition in Iran for the period 1966-2013. The findings support evidence for the existence of long-run linkage between non-renewable energy consumption, economic growth and CO 2 emissions. The short-run relationship examination proves the causality running from non-renewable energy consumption to economic growth in Iran. The variance decomposition highlights that economic growth changes are explained more by gas consumption than by consumption of other non-renewable energy resources. Furthermore the contribution to CO 2 emissions is mainly from oil consumption. The study recommends some new policy insights for Iran in order to reach a higher economic growth by non-renewable energy resources, while lower carbon dioxide emissions.
