Summary: China's rapid economic development is hindered by ecological threats, with natural resources and financial development positively correlated with ecological footprints. Human capital also plays a role in environmental impact, and awareness, training, and strategic planning are crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goals 7, 8, and 13 in China.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of natural resources, urbanization, biological capacity, and economic growth on the ecological footprint in Turkey from 1970 to 2018. The results show that both economic growth and biological capacity increase the ecological footprint in the short and long term. Additionally, the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis is valid for Turkey and urbanization has a negative impact on the ecological footprint in the long term. Policy recommendations for achieving sustainable growth and improving environmental quality are provided based on these findings.

Summary: This study investigates the impacts of natural resources, renewable energy, and foreign direct investment on ecological footprints. The findings show that natural resources have an asymmetric impact, renewable energy has significant negative effects, and economic growth has positive effects on ecological footprints. Moreover, the study validates the long-term FDI hallo hypothesis and confirms convergence toward long-run steady-state equilibrium.

Summary: The age of modernity is characterized by growth in energy use, economic activity, and resource consumption, but also unprecedented challenges like climate change. Modern society needs to prioritize long-term ecosystem development and future needs rather than short-term wealth and infinite growth. Humanity needs to approach current issues with skepticism, humility, and concern and actively seek interdisciplinary collaboration to address these challenges.

Summary: The study finds that there is a negative relationship between natural resources and renewable energy consumption with environmental quality, while non-renewable energy consumption, population growth, and biocapacity have a positive relationship with environmental quality. Additionally, there is a unidirectional causality from population growth to energy consumption, ecological footprint, and CO2 emissions.

Summary: Ensuring a balance between economic and ecological well-being is crucial for governments worldwide. This study examines the influence of various factors on the ecological footprint of developing countries. The findings suggest that technological innovation can help inhibit the increase in ecological footprint, while natural resource consumption significantly contributes to its growth. Globalization reduces the ecological footprint of African and Latin American countries, and financial development decreases the ecological footprint of Asian countries.

Summary: Environmental sustainability is crucial for both developed and developing countries to fulfill their global climate commitments. Specifically, emerging countries need to prioritize efforts to address obstacles to align with the Paris climate change agreement. This study investigates the impact of natural resource rent, economic complexity, and economic growth on the ecological footprint in the emerging seven (E7) countries from 1995 to 2020. The findings reveal that positive shocks in natural resource rent, economic growth, and economic complexity positively influence the ecological footprint in both the short and long terms, while negative shocks enhance environmental sustainability in these countries. However, the short-term effects of negative shocks in economic complexity and economic growth are insignificant. The results imply the need for sustainable industrial transformation and effective utilization of mineral resources.

Summary: This study combines the water footprint and virtual water trade balance to investigate the decoupling of GDP and consumption water footprint in Brazil. The results show a negative decoupling between consumption water footprint and GDP, with a higher impact on water resources from the export agenda compared to the domestic market. Primary-exporting sectors, especially agriculture and livestock, strongly influence this result.

Summary: This study examines the role of natural resources in improving environmental quality in South Asia. The findings show that natural resource abundance has a positive effect on environmental degradation, while the use of renewable energy negatively influences the ecological footprint. Economic growth and population growth significantly contribute to environmental deterioration in the region. Therefore, these countries need to reconsider their development plans and establish a framework that supports long-term economic growth and environmental protection.
