“…Similarly, our wavelet estimates conflict with the ARDL outcomes of Sari and Soytas (2009) as they concluded no substantial relationship between energy use and GDP, and among GDP and carbon emissions trends in five OPEC countries. Lastly, our findings are in line with the GCC-based evidence of Zmami and Ben-Salha (2020), Alkathery andChaudhuri (2021), andMajeed et al (2021), who emphasized that the nature of the resources exploited to generate power does matter in determining emissions trends in this area and should thus be at the heart of future policy regulations. Especially, Baydoun and Aga (2021) claimed evidence of a long-run association between energy consumption, financial development, economic growth, and CO2 emissions in GCC countries.…”

This paper investigates the association between CO2 emissions and a range of factors, including electricity consumption, economic growth, urbanization, and trade openness for six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries using data covering the 1965-2019 period. Namely, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. Contrasting with the standard literature, our empirical strategy uses the wavelet coherence approach on the frequency domain, thought to complement the time-series econometric procedures reported on this topic. Supplied at the country-level, associated evidence presents far-reaching policy recommendations whose applications may directly benefit environmental planning and bring high information value for the sake of sustainable energies in the Gulf region.JEL: Q43, C22, C23, E20, O44.

“…Adebayo et al ( 2020 ) found a positive interconnection between CO 2 emissions and energy usage by utilizing the ARDL model for MINT countries using the time coverage from 1980 to 2018. Zmami and Ben-Salha ( 2020 ) investigated the effects of energy consumption on CO 2 emissions in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries between 1980 and 2017 using the STIRPAT model and the ARDL approach. Zmami and Ben-Salha ( 2020 ) reported that energy consumption has a positive and significant impact on CO 2 emissions in the long run.…”

Dynamic impacts of energy use, agricultural land expansion, and deforestation on CO2 emissions in Malaysia

et al. 2022

This study empirically investigates the nexus among energy use, agricultural land expansion, deforestation, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions in Malaysia. Time series data from 1990 to 2019 were utilized using the bounds testing (ARDL) approach followed by the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method. The DOLS estimate findings show that the energy usage coefficient is positive and significant with CO 2 emissions, indicating a 1% increase in energy consumption is related to a 0.91% rise in CO 2 emissions. In addition, the coefficient of agricultural land is positive, which indicates that agricultural land expansion by 1% is associated with an increase in CO 2 emissions by 0.84% in the long run. Furthermore, the forested area coefficient is negative, which means that decreasing 1% of the wooded area (i.e., deforestation) has a long-term effect of 5.41% increased CO 2 emissions. Moreover, the pairwise Granger causality test results show bidirectional causality between deforestation and energy use; and unidirectional causality from energy use to CO 2 emissions, agricultural land expansion to CO 2 emissions, deforestation to CO 2 emissions, agricultural land expansion to energy use, and deforestation to agricultural land expansion in Malaysia. The empirical findings reveal that increased energy use, agricultural land expansion, and deforestation have a negative impact on environmental quality in Malaysia. Thus, the effective implementation of policy measures to promote renewable energy, climate-smart agriculture, and sustainable management of forest ecosystems could be useful for reducing environmental degradation in Malaysia.

“…A summary of the interaction between SD pillars; economy, society, environment, and governance Source: Contextualized by authors based on various sources of the current literature 6 / 21 quality stems from previous research as prominent scholars have imposed (Green et al, 2015). Although the focus of the present article is not on the exclusive discussion of the determinants of PEA and PEB, a detailed discussion on influential factors can be independently assessed (e.g., Bamberg & Möser, 2007;Gifford, 2011;Hines, Hungerford, & Tomera, 1987;Zmami & Ben-Salha, 2020). This said, understanding human-induced actions with which environmental deteriorations are determined is of useful consideration because "individuals and societies cause and bear the consequences of conservation challenges and are fundamental to solutions" (Wallen & Landon, 2020, p. 1340.…”

An increasing trend of environmental problems is largely associated with human interaction with nature. While individual attitudes and behavior play a pivotal role in attaining sustainable ecological actions, this article questions whether there is adequate coverage of the current environmental issues in the existing scales measuring environmental attitudes and behaviors. To achieve the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs), sustainable efforts need to be invested to shape human interaction with nature. Nonetheless, the question of whether an effective change in attitudinal and behavioral constructs can translate into objective ecological actions requires sound measurements. Based on an analysis of 54 scales, the present article reveals that some critical environmental issues such as climate change and inclusiveness of science and technology have largely been neglected. It further brings out a conclusion that proposes a transitional approach for environmental psychologists to rethink the measurement approaches that broadly enhances sustainable development in global terms.
