Summary: This study examines the impact of economic policy uncertainty, renewable energy usage, and economic growth on environmental degradation in Egypt. The findings suggest that economic policy uncertainty and economic growth contribute to environmental degradation in both the short and long term. However, renewable energy consumption has a significant negative effect on environmental degradation in the long run. Therefore, policymakers in Egypt should prioritize stable economic policies and the adoption of renewable energy sources to mitigate environmental degradation.

Summary: Climate change has a significant impact on species in previously dry areas. The emissions of greenhouse gases have worsened problems like severe storms, earthquakes, epidemics, and unequal food distribution. Developed and developing countries, as major carbon emitters and leading economies, are strategically working towards reducing environmental challenges and achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. This study employs innovative econometric methodologies to analyze the effects of economic policy uncertainty, renewable energy consumption, geopolitical risk, non-renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on ecological footprint.

Summary: This study examines the progress of California in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The findings show that renewable energy consumption has a short-term impact on CO2 emissions, and GDP and research and development have bidirectional effects on CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption. In the long run, renewable energy consumption, research and development, and GDP contribute to CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption, research and development, and CO2 emissions contribute to GDP.

Summary: From 1990 to 2014, Morocco implemented renewable energy development policies which showed positive effects on economic growth and reducing CO(2) emissions. There is a causality between renewable energy consumption and economic growth, as well as economic growth and CO(2) emissions in Morocco. The government and private companies in Morocco need to seek innovative financing methods for renewable energy projects.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in V4 countries from 1996 to 2022. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions, while GDP exacerbates pollution. Foreign direct investment does not significantly affect environmental quality. The influence of political stability on pollution varies across different countries.

Summary: This study is a pioneer attempt to use ecological footprints as a proxy for environmental sensitivity in regression analysis. It examines the impact of fiscal and monetary tools, green energy consumption, and economic growth on China's ecological footprints from 1990 to 2020. The study finds that China's rapid economic growth, fueled by fossil fuels, has a positive and statistically significant influence on ecological footprints. On the other hand, expansionary fiscal policies, contractionary monetary policies, and green energy use have a negative/inverse relationship with ecological footprints. The study also reveals reciprocal interconnections between ecological footprints and GDP as well as green energy consumption.

Summary: Based on the micro-survey data of Hunan Province in 2022, this study empirically discusses the impact of natural hazards on the agricultural production decision-making of peasant households using a Probit model. The study finds that natural hazards do not significantly affect the willingness of peasant households to engage in agricultural production, but they can be mitigated by planting drought-resistant or flood-tolerant crops. Natural hazards also reduce the probability of peasant households adopting green production decision-making.

Summary: In developing countries, local governments often implement anti-poverty programs. However, the fiscal resources of local governance are limited, resulting in insufficient expenditure for poverty alleviation. This study examines whether an increase in fiscal resources of local governments leads to an increase in anti-poverty expenditure using county-level Chinese data. The findings show that higher intergovernmental transfers from higher-level governments lead to more expenditure on the minimum living standard guarantee system, but only in urban areas. Additionally, off-budget fiscal revenue does not affect poverty alleviation expenditure in both rural and urban areas.

Summary: This study aims to examine the impact of transportation taxes on CO2 emissions in a comparative setting for BCIST economies from 1991 to 2019. The findings reveal that transportation taxes are a vital asymmetric determinant of CO2 emissions. An increase in transportation taxes reduces CO2 emissions in China, India, South Africa, and Turkey, while a decrease in transportation taxes intensifies carbon emissions in Brazil, China, and India in the long term. Moreover, more transportation taxes limit CO2 emissions in South Africa and China in the short run. The study's findings have important implications for economic policies and future research directions.

Summary: The primary focus of this analysis is to investigate the impact of emergency response management and environmental risk on natural disasters, while controlling for the variables of national income and financial development. The study utilizes the quantile autoregressive distributed lag model to estimate the short- and long-term effects across various quantiles. The findings suggest that emergency response management has a negative impact on natural disasters at higher quantiles, while environmental risk is positively correlated with natural disasters across all quantiles.
