Summary: The study found that increasing energy intensity, trade openness, and urbanization will increase CO2 emissions, while economic complexity has different effects on the environment. Economic complexity has altered the Environmental Kuznets Curve to some extent, and increasing economic complexity in countries enhances the effects of economic growth on increasing CO2 emissions.

Summary: This study investigates the role of informality in the relationship among renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption, economic growth, and CO2 emissions. The results show that nonrenewable energy consumption is positively associated with CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption is not. There is a nonlinear relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions, consistent with the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. There is also a nonlinear relationship between informality and CO2 emissions, with higher informality being associated with lower CO2 emissions up to a certain critical point.

Summary: This paper explores the effects of CO2 emissions, globalization energy usage, trade openness, and urbanization on economic growth in Japan using new econometric techniques. The study finds that urbanization, CO2 emissions, globalization, and energy usage have a positive impact on economic growth, while no significant link is found between trade openness and economic growth. The wavelet coherence approach reveals positive co-movements between economic growth and the regressors, as well as a one-way causality from CO2 emissions and energy usage to economic growth.

Summary: The South African government is addressing global warming issues and striving to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals-7 & 13 (affordable clean energy and climate change mitigation). This article presents a novel approach using dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) simulations to study the nexus between CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, militarization, and economic growth in South Africa. The findings reveal a long-run equilibrium relationship between these variables, differing causality results, and support for the treadmill theory of destruction and the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in South Africa. The study recommends a synergy between defense, renewable energy, growth, and environmental policies to promote and maintain environmental quality in South Africa in both the short and long term.

Summary: This study empirically examined the long-term impact of energy intensity, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions across regions and income levels over 50 African countries from 1980 to 2018. The findings revealed that renewable energy consumption contributed to mitigating CO2 emissions, while energy intensity promoted emissions across regions and income levels, and at the African level. Economic growth affected CO2 emissions negatively at the African level but the effect was mixed across regions and income levels. The study also found bi-directional causations between CO2 emissions and its determinants in African, and some regions and income levels, with unidirectional causation highly supported across regions and income levels. Impulse response and variance decomposition analysis showed that both energy intensity and economic growth counted higher variations of CO2 emissions, while renewable energy highly contributed to reducing emissions within 10 years.

Summary: This research used the dynamic panel model and QR to examine the effect of globalization, institutional quality, economic growth, electricity consumption, and renewable energy consumption on carbon dioxide emission in thirty-six OECD countries from 1991 to 2018. The findings suggest that renewable energy consumption, globalization, and institutional quality negatively affect carbon dioxide emission, helping to reduce it. On the other hand, electricity consumption and economic growth contribute to climate and environmental loss.

Summary: Economically developed nations have advanced energy production and consumption, with a focus on renewable energy sources and technological advancements. This research examines the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, technological advancements, and renewable energy sources on economic expansion. The study analyzes data from G7 countries from 1996 to 2020 using various tests and finds that increasing CO2 emissions benefit long-term economic growth, but improvements in renewable energy and technology dampen economic expansion. The findings suggest the importance of investing in renewable energy consumption for sustainable development and environmental protection, as well as directing technological innovations towards renewable energy resources and facilities to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Summary: This study empirically explores the relationship between wind energy consumption, industrial-economic development, and CO2 emissions in the top 41 countries from 1997 to 2018. The results show that severe droughts are not a significant concern for wind energy, and utilizing wind energy helps reduce CO2 emissions. However, industrial and economic development is positively associated with CO2 emissions in the sampled countries. Additionally, the study finds that while industrial development promotes economic growth, wind energy use has an insignificant positive effect on economic growth and a negative impact on industrial development. The study also identifies two-way causal relationships between CO2 and other variables, as well as between industrial development and economic growth and wind energy use.

Summary: This research investigates the associations between financial inclusion, globalization and CO2 emissions of G20 nations, considering control variables. The findings show that globalization has a positive impact on carbon emissions, while corruption and economic growth have negative impacts. Renewable energy utilization has a positive impact on environmental quality. These findings are critical for achieving sustainable development and pollution control goals, and governments need to align financial inclusion with renewable energy consumption and environmental strategies.

Summary: This study empirically examines the impact of innovative human capital (IHC) on regional green growth in China. The findings reveal that there is a strong spatial correlation between IHC and green growth. The quantity of IHC has a significant positive impact on regional green growth, while the quality of IHC does not promote green growth. Additionally, both the quantity and quality of IHC indirectly enhance green growth through technological progress. The study suggests that promoting green growth requires enhancing the accumulation of IHC and narrowing the gap between the eastern and western regions of China in terms of IHC accumulation.
