“…Energy is an indispensable factor of economic growth and integral to smooth industrial production and household operations (Saud et al, 2022; Shahbaz et al, 2017). In this regard, high economic growth requires high energy consumption, leading to increased CO 2 emissions (Cetin et al, 2018; H. Y. Li et al, 2021; H. Liu, Alharthi, et al, 2022; S. Liu, Gao, et al, 2022; H. Liu, Khan, et al, 2022; H. Liu, Saleem, et al, 2022; Magazzino & Mele, 2022). Global economic activity and energy consumption are increasing, according to a World Bank report, with consumption increasing by 44% from 1971 to 2014 (World Bank, 2017).…”

Global warming and greenhouse gas emissions pose severe threats to environmental sustainability. A sustainable environment is a prerequisite for long‐term socioeconomic growth and human survival. Green technology is brought about by a country's economic and financial openness, and education provides knowledge to the public and labor, contributing to environmental sustainability. Thus, this research aims to unveil the liaison between human capital, trade openness, and environmental quality for Russia, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) countries from 1998 to 2018. Several econometric methods, including the Driscoll–Kraay standard errors and the Dumitrescu–Hurlin causality approaches, reveal long‐run and causal relationships among the modelled indicators. The Driscoll–Kraay standard error results show that human capital is negatively related to carbon dioxide emissions (CO2 emissions). Imposing high tariffs and excise duties, changing tax structures, discouraging the inflow of polluted commodities, and encouraging green trade can help BRICS combat high environmental pollution. The results show that a one‐point increase in human capital in models 1 and 2 can reduce CO2 emissions by 1.5279 and 0.1538 points, respectively. In contrast, a 1% growth in trade can lead to a rise in CO2 emissions of 0.3731% and 0.2384%, respectively. Similarly, financial development and energy consumption result in high CO2 emissions in the long run. Moreover, a feedback effect of the human capital index on CO2 emissions is discovered. As a result of the findings, the government and responsible authorities should provide financial support and encourage investments in the region's energy‐resourceful and sustainable green projects.

“The Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) seeks to attain high‐quality development and sustainability. This study examines the green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE) of 58 BRI countries from 2005 to 2019 and its influence factors using the Super slacked‐based measurement and Tobit models. The findings indicate that: 1) Singapore and the other seven countries have GTFEEs above 0.9, which is better than other countries; seven out of 58 countries have GTFEEs below 0.5. 2) Due to regional disparities, Southeast Asia, Central, and Eastern Europe have the greatest GTFEE, followed by South Asia, West Asia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the lowest is in Central Asia, China, and Mongolia. 3) Compared to developing economies, developed economies have a higher GTFEE. 4) Between 2005 and 2019, the overall BRI energy efficiency dropped from 0.75 to 0.56. 5) According to Tobit results, for every 1% increase in economic development and energy structure, GTFEE increases by 0.08% and 0.31% points, respectively, and for every 1% increase in trade and land area, GTFEE decreases by 0.04 and 0.05, respectively. Therefore, BRI countries should strengthen international cooperation, develop advanced technologies, and increase the proportion of renewable energy utilization.
