“…The provision of industrial products requires more energy consumption, which in turn needs to emit more carbon. Similarly, the larger the population, the more energy is consumed, and thereby the more carbon dioxide is produced, which is consistent with Chen et al (2021a).…”

With the accelerated development of the global economy, environmental issues have gradually become prominent, which in turn hinders further high-quality economic development. As one of the important driving factors, cross-border flowing foreign direct investment (FDI) has played a vital role in promoting economic development, but has also caused environmental degradation in most host countries. Utilizing panel data for the G20 economies from 1996 to 2018, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of FDI inflows on carbon emissions, and further explore the influence channels through the moderating effects of economic development and regulatory quality. To produce more robust and accurate results in this study, the approach of the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) is utilized. Meanwhile, this study also specifies the heteroscedasticity and correlated errors due to the large differences and serial correlations among the G20 economies. The results indicate that FDI inflows are positively associated with carbon emissions, as well as both economic development and regulatory quality negatively contribute to the impacts of FDI inflows on carbon emissions. It implies that although FDI inflows tend to increase the emissions of carbon dioxide, they are more likely to mitigate carbon emissions in countries with higher levels of economic development and regulatory quality. Therefore, the findings are informative for policymakers to formulate effective policies to help mitigate carbon emissions and eliminate environmental degradation.

The development of an environment that is sustainable requires infrastructure. Energy structure is necessary, along with infrastructure. Energy structure must be achieved for the desired infrastructure to exist. Therefore, it is interesting to look into the nexus of energy structure, infrastructure, and carbon emissions in, “Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS)” countries under the growth and environment hypothesis. To empirically estimate the said nexus, robust econometric techniques are adopted. Findings suggest the supportive role of infrastructure and energy structure in abating carbon emissions. The BRICS economies need to enhance the investment in infrastructure and energy structure. Findings are also robust to the short- and long-run policy implications. This study is a step forward toward the Sustainable Development Goals.

“…The Stochastic Impacts by Regression (STIRPAT) model is an important model which is commonly employed for problem-solving. In literature, the STIRPAT procedure is used in numerous studies to estimate the influence of different factors on carbon emissions, in Europe, the long-and short-run impact of energy, economic, and social factors on the environment (Chen et al 2021;Ghazali and Ali 2019;Hussain et al 2020a, b;Pham et al 2020). Moreover, many studies followed the above-mentioned model to validate the linkage of environmental proxies with income level, population, and other relevant factors (Amin and Dogan 2021).…”

Economic policies related to energy and the environment are found uncertain in developing economies. Renewable energy sources are gradually increasing in energy structure (ES) with the adoption of environment-related technologies (ERT). However, least attention is paid to investigating the nexus of economic policy uncertainty (EPU), ERT, ES, and ecological footprint (EF). Therefore, this study is an effort to examine the EPU, ERT, ES, and interaction of EPU and ERT on EF for BRICS economies under the umbrella of the STIRPAT model. By using the data from 1992 to 2020, findings are estimated through "cross-sectional dependence (CD test); CIPS and CADF unit root test; Westerlund's co-integration; and CS-ARDL, AMG, and CCEMG." Findings unveiled the negative role of EPU on EF. Furthermore, the role of RE and ERT is positive and substantial in decreasing the environmental degradation in BRICS. Therefore, the BRICS economies are suggested to be consistent on economic policies to catch the positive impact of ERT. Findings are robust to the policy implications.
