Summary: This study examines the stability of the relationship between CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and economic growth in 31 countries. The results reveal the presence of structural breaks in this relationship, mainly caused by the Great Recession. After considering these breaks, it is found that most countries have decoupled CO2 emissions from economic growth, especially among advanced economies. However, emerging markets have lower levels of decoupling. Furthermore, the relationship between CO2 emissions and energy consumption has intensified, indicating the need for cleaner energy production methods and more sustainable economies.

Summary: This study examines the impact of energy consumption, economic development, urbanization, and energy consumption on carbon emissions using panel cointegration tests and pooled mean group (PMG-ARDL) approaches. The results reveal that urbanization has no significant effect on environmental quality, while energy usage significantly increases environmental harm. Further research indicates that environmental distortion is a long-term consequence of economic expansion. The responsibility of achieving a green and clean environment lies with government officials and politicians, who should prioritize appropriate energy management, urban planning, and pollution reduction without impeding economic growth.

Summary: In this study, we applied the novel quantile mediation analysis method to examine the relationships among hydropower energy consumption, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emissions in Taiwan from 1990 to 2020. The empirical findings reveal that hydropower energy consumption has a direct impact on reducing carbon dioxide emissions only at a 0.2 distribution level. Additionally, the results indicate that economic growth does not act as a mediating factor between hydropower energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions across various distribution levels of carbon dioxide emissions. Lastly, the research provides evidence supporting the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve in Taiwan.

Summary: This study examines the correlation between CO2 emissions and economic indicators in Pakistan from 1960 to 2018. The results indicate a significant association between increased CO2 emissions and electricity production from oil, gas, and other sources, while an increase in electricity production from coal leads to decreased CO2 emissions. GDP and population growth also contribute significantly to CO2 emissions, while industrial growth has a negligible impact. The study calls for energy-saving and CO2 emission reduction strategies, as well as nationwide tree planting to reduce CO2 concentration and environmental pollution.

Summary: Empirical studies of the EKC hypothesis may be sensitive to datasets, specifications, and functional forms. This paper investigates the long-run relationship among CO2 emissions, real GDP, and energy consumption using a panel of 9 advanced economies from 1870 to 2008. The results suggest that while the EKC exists at the panel level post-1950s, the inverted U-shaped relationship between CO2 and real GDP is only validated for a subset of countries at the individual country level. However, a clear inverse U-shaped pattern emerges for all countries, except Canada, when a semi-parametric regression framework is applied.

Summary: This paper examines the relationship between ecological footprint (EF), electricity consumption, and GDP in China using annual data from 1960 to 2019. The study finds that factors like trade openness, urbanization, and life expectancy may increase EF as they are mainly human-induced ecological distortions. The results show that electricity consumption and real GDP contribute to environmental degradation, while trade and urbanization help reduce EF and improve environmental quality. The study also concludes that urbanization and life expectancy have a significant impact on environmental degradation across all frequencies.

Summary: This research examines the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in 37 OECD countries from 1960 to 2019. Panel quantile regressions show different curves (U-shaped, N-shaped) for different quartiles, indicating the impact of economic growth on emissions varies. Cointegrating regressions reveal a detrimental effect on the environment from economic growth, fossil fuel consumption, and population, while renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions. Panel causality tests confirm a feedback mechanism between CO2 emissions and other variables, and single-country estimates show significant variability in the sample.
