This study investigates the trade-off between economic growth and environmental sustainability. We use the variables CO2 emission, GDP, Investment, and Education. The World Bank contributed the data for this research. A multivariate regression model was used to investigate the causal association between variables CO2 emission, GDP, Investment, and Education in Indonesia. We found that CO2 emission has a negative causal relationship with economic growth where the higher CO2 emission will further suppress the country's productivity as indicated by GDP. Green investment has not been strong enough to encourage economic growth in Indonesia. Likewise, environmental education still needs to be developed to increase public awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability. In Indonesia, the economy and environmental sustainability have become a trade-off that requires practical solutions in the form of awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability and green investment based on environmental sustainability.

Purpose:  This study examines information and communication technology's effects on industry revolution 4 on the environment as an effort to develop a digital economy and a green economy in Southeast Asia that is part of the ASEAN organization.   Design/methodology/approach: We use the variables of growth (GDP), green energy, investment in ICT, and the environmental footprint of Southeast Asia in our study. We use secondary data from the Global Footprint Network and the World Bank with a research period from 1990 to 2020. We apply the ARDL technique to determine the relationship between the variables and their direction of causation.   Findings: The impact of ICT on environmental sustainability did not have a significant impact, meaning that the development of information and communication technology is very feasible to be developed to support the green economy as well as the digital economy. Where the use of green energy has a significant negative impact on the ecological footprint which is getting better for environmental sustainability as well as trade openness. Technology shows that technological developments during the research period are increasingly friendly to the environment.   Research, Practical & Social implications:  This research provides an overview of the economy and the environment and how to develop a green economy   Originality/value:  This study investigates three interrelated sectors, namely digital, environment and economy

This investigation looks at how four important factors in Sri Lanka relate to environmental deterioration from 1985 to 2020: human capital, economic growth, infrastructure investment, and depletion of natural resources. We make use of secondary information gathered from the World Bank, Penn World, and the Global Footprint Network. The ARDL model was used to examine each variable. We discovered that, over time, economic expansion and the development of infrastructure have a positive association with CO2, but human capital and natural resources have a negative relationship with CO2. In order to preserve the environment, human capital plays a crucial role, and infrastructural development is necessary to boost the economy. Human capital investment is the most important thing in improving Sri Lanka's economy.

This study tries to ascertain how certain aspects of the green economy perspective relate to Malaysian economic growth using the variables of CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and life expectancy which are representations of social welfare in Malaysia. We take data from the World Bank as a secondary source for the years 2000 to 2020, From our estimation results, We find that the variables we estimate have long-term and short-term correlations such as economic growth and life expectancy and economic growth with renewable energy consumption, and short-term economic expansion has a detrimental impact on life expectancy. However, the use of renewable energy is significantly correlated with economic expansion. This shows that between the two variables, with increasing economic growth, life expectancy will actually decrease, although this occurs in the short term, furthermore with increasing consumption of renewable energy will also increase economic growth in Malaysia.

This study uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) by evaluating agricultural carbon emissions performance (ACEP) in Java as a total factor in 5 provinces in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and East Java. We use research data from 2008 to 2021. Based on panel data in the five provinces on the island of Java, Indonesia is quite good in efforts to reduce carbon emissions through increasing public awareness of the importance of protecting the environment, policies for reducing carbon emissions with various government programs, and natural factors that occur in 2020 to 2021.
