“…Consequently, the relationship between EEE has become a hot area of current research. Moreover, a significant number of previous empirical studies have investigated the relationship between carbon emissions, economic growth, and energy conumption in various regions applying vast approaches (Alshehry & Belloumi, 2015;Dong, Sun, & Dong, 2018;Omri, 2013;Zhang & Cheng, 2009). In addition, many different studies have figured out that there were bidirectional causalities affect between carbon emissions, energy consumption, and economic growth (Liu & Hao, 2018;Mirza & Kanwal, 2017).…”

The impact of climate changes on agriculture export trade in Pakistan: Evidence from time‐series analysis

Agriculture is one of the primary contributors to Pakistan's economy. However, over the last few decades, the atmospheric carbon dioxide emission has been amplified to a great extent in Pakistan. This amplification may cause climate change, global warming, and environmental mitigation in Pakistan. This paper empirically investigates the impact of CO2 emissions on the agricultural export trade of Pakistan over the period 1975–2017. Evidence suggests that climate change could be a primary cause for the decline in Pakistan's agriculture export trade; no studies have been carried out for this specific issue, particularly over time. In this paper, the empirical analysis suggests the negative coefficient of agriculture export trade with CO2 emissions subsequently decreases agriculture export trade, which leads to direct impact on Pakistan's economy. Both theoretical and empirical outcomes suggest that the adaptation of clean and green energies and technologies are the key to reduce pollution in Pakistan. Overall, the effects of carbon dioxide emissions on agriculture export trade are stronger in the long‐run dynamics, thus making the finding heterogeneous. Possible initiatives should be taken by the government of Pakistan to improve the agriculture sector and it should also introduce new policies to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide.

“…On the other hand, as Dong, Sun, and Dong (); Feng and Wang (); and Li, Hu, and Zhang () report, there are significant differences in the levels of CO 2 emissions, economic growth, and energy consumption across various regions in China. From Figure , one can see that the energy consumption in China's eastern region is much higher than that of the central and western regions.…”

Control of the increasing fossil fuel‐based carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the associated environmental consequences are important for sustainable development in China. Nevertheless, very few studies have investigated the environmental consequences of China's fossil fuels at both the national and regional levels. For this purpose, this study explores the dynamic relationships among CO2 emissions, economic growth, and consumption of various fossil fuels (i.e., coal, petroleum, and natural gas) in China, using the panel dataset of 30 provinces for the period 1997–2015. Considering the significant differences across various regions, the whole sample and different regions in China are analyzed separately. The estimated results, at both the national and regional levels, provide strong evidence in favor of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for CO2 emissions in China. Furthermore, increasing coal and petroleum consumption significantly promotes CO2 emissions. Conversely, natural gas offers a cleaner substitute for other fossil fuels (i.e., coal and petroleum); its substitution effect may be influenced by the share of natural gas in the total energy needs. Finally, the above findings highlight several policy implications for the Chinese government's policymakers to effectively reduce CO2 emissions in China, thereby setting the nation on a sustainable development path.

“…Alper et al [26] have examined the linkages between economic growth and renewable energy consumption for new European Union member countries during the period 1990-2009. Dong [27] has analyzed the effects of natural gas and renewable energy consumption on CO 2 emissions, with results showing that natural gas and renewable energy consumption have a beneficial impact on CO 2 emissions reduction. In addition, Halicioglu [28], Ozturk et al [29], Acaravci et al [30], Wang et al [31], Arouri et al [32], Pao et al [33], Hossain [34], and Pao et al [35] have verified the causality linkage between CO 2 emissions and energy consumption.…”

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the correlations among per capita gross domestic product (GDP), household fuel (natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas) consumption, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) at the regional and national level in China using data from 2003 to 2015. The results validate the EKC assumption and show that per capita GDP is positively related to CO2 emissions; per capita natural gas consumption has a negative impact on CO2 emissions; however, per capita liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption has a positive effect on CO2 emissions. Therefore, increasing natural gas consumption can effectively slow down the environmental degradation of China. Given rapid economic growth, changing the energy structure can improve the environment.
