Summary: This paper examines the impact of per capita income, trade openness, energy consumption, and financial development on environmental degradation in the ASEAN region. The results show the presence of an environmental Kuznets curve, where per capita income and its square term have positive and negative coefficients. Additionally, increasing energy consumption, trade openness, and financial development contribute to environmental degradation in ASEAN economies. The causality analysis reveals several two-way and one-way causal relationships among the variables.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of carbon emissions, real oil prices, income inequality, economic growth, and trade openness on renewable energy consumption in 23 OECD economies. The findings suggest that renewable energy consumption is positively related to economic growth, real oil prices, income inequality, and trade openness, while negatively related to CO2 emissions. The results indicate the importance of considering foreign trade as a mechanism for promoting clean energy and developing environmentally friendly energy demand policies.

Summary: This research provides a new perspective on the influence of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in Argentina using wavelet analysis. The findings reveal significant wavelet coherence in the frequency domain and contradictory correlations among variables in different time periods. The study suggests that in the medium and long term, renewable energy consumption supports environmental sustainability, while nonrenewable energy and economic growth contribute to environmental degradation in the short and long term.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of biomass energy intensity and efficiency on sustainable development in the top five biomass energy-consuming countries. Results show that income level and urban sprawl have significant effects on the ecological footprint and emissions, while biomass energy consumption increases the ecological footprint but decreases emissions. Additionally, trade openness reduces both ecological footprint and CO2 emissions effectively.

Summary: This research examines the impact of real oil prices, trade openness, carbon emissions, economic growth, and income inequality on renewable energy consumption. The empirical results show a significant positive long-term relationship between these factors and renewable energy consumption, except for carbon emissions. The findings also indicate a one-way causal relationship between trade openness, renewable energy consumption, income inequality, and real oil prices with CO2 emissions. However, it is found that there is a bi-directional causality between income inequality and renewable energy consumption.

Summary: This study examines the tripartite effects of energy consumption, resource dependence, and trade openness on carbon neutrality in G20 economies from 2001 to 2019. The empirical evidence shows that nonrenewable energy, coal rents, and imports contribute to carbon emissions, while renewable energy, gas rents, and exports moderate carbon emissions. Total energy consumption, total natural resource rents, and trade openness promote significant carbon emissions. The findings suggest that investing in renewable energy and diversifying from natural resource exploration can enhance the sustainability of the G20 environment.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of trade openness, human capital, renewable energy, and natural resource rent on carbon emissions within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is validated when considering the effects of these factors. The relationship between income level and carbon emissions follows an inverted U-shaped curve, and the EKC turning point occurs at a real GDP per capita of $19,203. Renewable energy consumption and human capital have different effects on carbon emissions before and after the EKC turning point, while trade openness only mitigates carbon emissions in countries with weak decoupling after the turning point.

Summary: This study examines the impact of country risks and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality. The study focuses on Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey (MINT) nations and considers economic growth, trade openness, and urbanization. The results show that economic growth, political risk, urbanization, and trade openness contribute to an increase in ecological footprint, while economic and financial risks and renewable energy use have a positive influence on environmental quality. The findings also verify the validity of the EKC hypothesis for the MINT economies and the robustness of the results.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between innovations in photovoltaic energy generation, distribution, or transmission-related technologies (IPVEGRT) and carbon dioxide emissions, renewable energy consumption, expansionary monetary policy, international collaboration in green technology development, gross domestic product per capita, and trade openness in the USA. The results show that IPVEGRT helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions, while international collaboration in green technology development and renewable energy consumption are negatively associated with carbon dioxide emissions.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between financial structure, energy depletion, and environmental degradation using data from Pakistan from 1985 to 2018. The findings suggest that financial structure and energy depletion have a decreasing impact on ecological footprints, while trade openness and urban population have an increasing and decreasing impact, respectively. Therefore, comprehensive environmental and financial structure development policies are needed to achieve environmental sustainability goals.

Summary: This study examines the impact of export variety, foreign direct investment (FDI), and technological development on environmental degradation in Pakistan. The results suggest that economic development does not necessarily lead to environmental degradation in the long run. Export variety has a short-term restraining effect, while energy consumption worsens environmental degradation. FDI and technological development help to mitigate environmental degradation.

Summary: This study aims to test the causal nexus among energy consumption, environmental degradation, financial development, and health outcomes in the case of Pakistan. The results show that there is a unidirectional causality from energy consumption and environmental degradation to health outcomes, while a bidirectional causality is found between financial development and health outcomes in the long run. Energy and financial development can play a positive role in improving health outcomes in Pakistan.

Summary: This study examines the impact of terrorism on stock market returns and volatility in Pakistan. The results confirm that terrorism significantly affects both the stock market returns and volatility. Negative shock (terror news) creates higher volatility compared to positive shock (good news) in the stock market. The study suggests that addressing terrorism is crucial for achieving stability in financial markets.

Summary: Phenology monitoring is important for understanding forest functioning and climate impacts. This research compares the phenological behavior of European beech forests using Tree-Talker (TT+) and Sentinel 2 satellite data. The study finds differences in the information derived by the two sensor types, particularly in terms of season length, phenology changepoints, and leaf period variability. TT+ with its higher temporal resolution demonstrates precision in capturing the phenological changepoints, especially when satellite image availability is limited.
