“…They found that escalating non-renewable energy use increases CO 2 emissions, whereas growing renewable energy consumption mitigates environmental damage. Chien et al ( 2022 ) looked at how urbanization, economic development, and clean energy from renewable sources affected the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in ten Asian countries from 1995 to 2018. The study’s findings demonstrated that GDP and renewable energy contributed positively to lowering GHG emissions in the environment or specific economies.…”

After reform and opening-up, rapid industrialization and urbanization led to environmental degradation in China, including excessive energy consumption, soil contamination, and water pollution. Toward sustainable development, the Chinese government has promoted the introduction of clean energy sources such as geothermal and hydroelectric power generation, which have reduced the environmental burden. However, the impact of this energy shift on environmental improvement and economic growth is unclear. This study empirically analyzes the impact of green energy deployment and economic growth on CO 2 emissions in China. The analysis of time series data from 1980 to 2020 shows that in the long run, a 1% increase in renewable energy significantly reduces CO 2 emissions by 0.87%, and a 1% increase in GDP significantly increases CO 2 emissions by 0.26%. In contrast, in the short run, the negative effect of renewable energy on CO 2 emissions and the positive effect of GDP on it are not significant. This result was confirmed after the robustness checks. Based on the results obtained, several policy recommendations are made.

“…Studies that connect economic activities (e.g., GDP) and the environment debate include Chien and Sadiq (2022), Gonzalez-Sanchez andMartin-Ortega (2020), andSterpu et al (2018), which observed a similar positive relationship between GDP and per capita GHG emission (environmental degradation). , in a study titled climate change scarce and FDI migration, found that FDI migration affects CO2 emissions' trend in Sierra Leone and Nigeria differently.…”

This paper examined the determinants (decomposed into enablers and de-enablers) of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to deepen the debate on enhancing the implementation of the social cost of carbon or carbon pricing. Data from world development indicators were utilized in this study. The study leverages the autoregressive distributive lag model, pairwise granger causality, and impulse response function tests. This study found that there is a long-run relationship between selected economic indicators and GHG emissions in the global economy. In the long run, the GHG emissions enablers are FDI inflow and fossil fuel consumption. On the other hand, de-enablers of GHG emissions are GDP growth rate and merchandise trade. However, gas, oil, and coal use for electricity and fertilizer consumption have mixed finding across the regions. Also, the study observed that there exists no causality between GHG emissions and selected finance-related variables. A 1% shock in GHG emissions generates monetary volatility. Based on the findings that global trade generates a similar impact on GHG emissions across high-income countries, low-income countries, and middle-income countries. This study recommends the imposing of carbon tax and cap-and-trade on the GHGs polluting sectors and countries involved in the production and distribution of economic goods (activities) enabling GHG emissions.

“…A large body of past research on the relationship between income and pollution has backed up the reversed U-shaped relationship, often known as the EKC theory. In their papers, Saboori and Sulaiman (Saboori and Sulaiman, 2013),Chien, Hsu (Chien et al, 2022) investigated the EKC hypothesis, yet their findings were mixed. For example, an N-shaped association, a linear relationship, and a U-shaped correlation were discovered.…”

Environmental sustainability is a burning fact worldwide, especially in developing nations. Equitable economic development, environmental protection, energy efficiency and security have been placed at the apex of economic discussant and policy formulation. This paper establishes the relationship between trade and environmental quality in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Following the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, we investigate the existence of an inverted U-shape correlation between income per capita growth and nitrous oxide (N2O), agricultural methane (ACH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to ascertain the presence of EKC. We also analyze how trade variables, income per capita growth, energy intensity, foreign direct investment, human capital, and CO2 emissions are related. The results show that trade significantly increases N2O, ACH4, and CO2 emissions for the overall sample of SSA and its income groups [Upper-Middle-Income Countries (UMIC), Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), and Low-Income Countries (LIC)] using a panel GMM. This paper concludes that reducing emissions is feasible in the future as shown by the existence of the EKC, and trade has a consistently negative impact on the environment in SSA countries, regardless of wealth level. On the policy note, the study suggested that domestic trade liberalization and foreign ownership in the economy play a detrimental role, and thus industrialization has to ensure energy efficiency and energy security.
