Summary: This study analyzes the impact of the Paris agreement on CO2 emissions in Germany, Spain, and France, and finds that its effect is minimal. The consumption of fossil fuels and net energy imports have the expected impact on CO2 emissions, with crude oil consumption being the most influential factor.

Summary: This study explores the impacts of climate indicators on agricultural production in selected South Asian countries from 1961 to 2016. The findings suggest that rural population and rainfall have a negative association with agricultural production, while temperature, land area under cereal production, and CO2 emissions have a positive association with agricultural production.

Summary: This study contributes to the existing knowledge by examining the impact of fiscal decentralization on CO2 emissions in Japan. The findings suggest that nonrenewable energy consumption, gross domestic product, and trade openness increase CO2 emissions, while fiscal decentralization and renewable energy consumption improve air quality.

Summary: This study presents empirical results on the relationships between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and GDP within the Visegrád Group (V4) countries. The findings suggest that renewable energy has a small positive impact on long-term economic growth, while non-renewable energy has a more significant effect. CO2 emissions have a negative impact on economic growth, indicating a reliance on non-renewable energy sources and a burden on economic expansion.

Summary: This paper empirically investigates the impact of environmental innovation on energy sector-based CO2 emissions. The findings suggest a nonlinear relationship, where environmental innovation initially reduces CO2 emissions up to a certain level, then leads to a rebound effect. Therefore, environmental innovation alone is not sufficient to address environmental problems and should be supported by environmental policies.

Summary: Research examines the relationship between ecological footprints and biomass energy consumption in SAARC countries from 1990 to 2016, finding that biomass energy consumption increases ecological footprints, along with globalization and GDP. The Environmental Kuznets curve is not validated in the estimated countries, and one-way causality from biomass energy usage to ecological footprints is confirmed. Policy implications are suggested based on the empirical results.

Summary: This article evaluates the effects of mineral resources, energy intensity, urbanization, and economic development on carbon dioxide emissions and tests the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. The findings suggest that mineral resources endowment and energy intensity both increase CO2 emissions, while the impact of urbanization varies across countries with different income levels. The study also finds a feedback Granger causality relationship between CO2 emissions and all its determinants.

Summary: The research focuses on the cointegration and causal relationship between information communication technology, CO2 emissions, economic development, trade, and total population in GCC countries. The results highlight the significant impact of CO2 emissions, ICT, and economic development on environmental sustainability. However, population growth and trade show no significant relationship with CO2 emissions. The study suggests transforming the economic growth sectors and promoting the use of environmentally friendly green technology.

Summary: The issue of environmental degradation, especially in developing countries, is urgent and the source of the problem needs to be identified. Poverty has been recognized as a core cause of environmental degradation. Moreover, migrations from poor countries have been found to contribute to the worsening of environmental deterioration. This paper empirically investigates the effect of migration on environmental deterioration in 29 developing countries from 1980 to 2019. Using panel cointegration approach, the study finds evidence that countries with higher levels of migration tend to experience greater environmental deterioration. However, the best solution lies in the host countries' governments, with or without the assistance of the United Nations, providing more support to improve the migrants' lives and educate their citizens to be more environmentally conscious.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between climate variables and food security in sub-Saharan African countries. The results suggest that rainfall has a positive effect on food availability, accessibility, and utilization, while temperature has a negative impact on availability and accessibility and no impact on utilization. CO2 emission positively impacts availability and accessibility but does not affect utilization.

Summary: This study confirms the inverted U-curve relationship proposed by the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. Economic growth exacerbates environmental pollution in BRICS countries, while economic globalization, nuclear energy, and renewable energy consumption contribute to improving environmental quality. Furthermore, panel Granger causality tests show a bi-directional relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions as well as renewable energy consumption.

Summary: This study examines the impact of tourist arrivals and tourism receipts on carbon emissions in Mediterranean countries through econometric models and finds that both components reduce carbon emissions. However, the effects differ based on per capita income levels, with tourist arrivals increasing emissions up to a threshold before decreasing, and tourism receipts being statistically insignificant at lower income levels and reducing emissions at higher income levels.

Summary: Human activities have caused damage to environmental quality and biodiversity in the past few decades. Sustainable development requires a balance between economic, social, and environmental issues over the long term. Ecological footprint and human capital are important indicators for assessing environmental quality and economic development level. This study found that human capital has a negative effect on sustainability at lower levels, but a positive effect at higher levels.

Summary: This paper empirically examines risk transmission between the oil and precious metal markets induced by the COVID-19 pandemic using the DCC-GARCH model. The findings reveal evidence of significant risk transmission between oil prices and precious metal prices, particularly during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the negative relationship between oil and gold has strengthened, while the negative relationship between oil and silver has weakened.

Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of non-linear monetary policy interest rate channel shocks for the Turkish economy using the threshold VAR analysis in the period of 2006-2019. The interest channel is examined with the two models for both consumption transfer and investment transfer models. The results show that the interest rate channel is effective in the high regime (high macroeconomic instability) for the consumption transfer model, and it is partially effective in the low regime (low macroeconomic instability). On the other hand, for the model with investment expenditures flow, the interest rate channel is partially effective in both high and low regimes.

Developed Islamic stock markets are stationary only in the high volatility regime, supporting the Adaptive Market Hypothesis; while the emerging Islamic stock market is stationary in both regimes, which is contradictory for weak-form efficiency.

Summary: The study found a relationship between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption and economic growth in the United States; while a bi-directional causality was observed between non-renewable energy consumption and economic growth, no clear causality was found between renewable energy consumption and economic growth. Therefore, increasing efficiency and profitability of renewable energy investments can bring long-term benefits.
