“…Pata et al ( 2023b ) analyze China’s emissions by considering EF. Also, Pata et al ( 2023c ) examine Turkey’s environment relying on EF. By taking into account that EF is a much more comprehensive proxy for environmental pollution, the study uses EF as the proxy for the environment.…”

Considering a vast majority of application areas, the study investigates how environmental tax (ET) affects ecological footprint. In this context, the study examines the European Union Five (EU5) countries, considers ecological footprint (EF) as the proxy of the environment, uses ET as tax-based environmental measures by making both disaggregated (i.e., energy and transport) and aggregated level analysis, and performs novel nonlinear quantile-based approaches for the period from 1995/Q1 to 2021/Q4. The outcomes show that on EF (i) energy-related ET has only a declining effect at lower and middle quantiles in Germany and at lower quantiles in Italy, whereas it does not have a curbing effect in other countries; (ii) transport-related ET is not effective on EF in any country, which means that it does not have a curbing effect; (iii) total ET has a decreasing effect in only Germany; and (iv) the alternative method validates the robustness. Thus, the study demonstrates the changing effect of ET across countries, quantiles, and ET types in curbing EF. Hence, it can be suggested that Germany can go on relying further on energy-related ET practices to decrease EF, whereas there is a long way for the remaining EU5 countries as well as transport-related ET in curbing EF.

“…In analyzing the causes of environmental degradation, previous studies used mainly CO 2 emissions as an environmental proxy (e.g., Wang et al [5]). Differently, many newer studies have used the EF as an environmental proxy (e.g., Pata et al [6]) because CO 2 emissions focus on only air pollution and do not consider pollution in other https://doi.org/10.56578/jgelcd020402 areas, such as water or soil. Hence, the literature includes various studies that use either CO 2 emissions or EF to examine the progress of the environment over the years.…”

Considering the recent adverse developments, studies have focused on the environmental degradation of countries. In this context, various indicators for the environment as well as explanatory variables have been used. In line with the increasing geopolitical risk (GPR) in recent times, the study focuses on investigating the impact of GPR on the environment for G7 countries, which are the leading economies in the world. In doing so, the study considers carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and ecological footprint (EF) as the environmental indicators; and performs quantile-on-quantile regression (QQ) as the fundamental model, which investigates the relationship between two variables across quantiles (i.e., levels); applies quantile regression (QR) for robustness; and uses using monthly data between 1985 and 2022. The study proves that (i) GPR generally decreases CO 2 emissions at higher quantiles, whereas it causes an increasing impact at lower quantiles; (ii) GPR mainly curbs EF at higher levels, whereas it causes a stimulating impact at lower levels; (iii) the power of the impact of GPR differentiates a bit according to quantiles, indicators, and countries; (iv) the alternative method mostly validates the robustness of the results. Thus, the study implies that GPR has a stimulating impact on environmental degradation at the beginning (i.e., lower quantiles) by causing much more consumption and short-term-based decisions, whereas it causes a decline at the last (i.e., higher quantiles) through making consumption more responsible and decisions with more long-term-based perspective. So, GPR is an important predictor of the environment and has a critical impact on environmental degradation. Accordingly, policymakers have to consider the quantile, country, and environmental indicator-based differentiation impact of GPR on the environment in designing environmental policies. In this way, it is possible for the countries to achieve sustainable development goals by ensuring environmental degradation.

Environmental degradation and climate change problems in the African continent seriously hit country economies and human health, negatively affecting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). African countries have the potential to use economic development and renewable energy as a tool for their environmental sustainability. In this context, this study examines the effects of economic growth, modern renewable energy, and combustible renewable energy on ecological footprint (EF) in five African countries. To this end, the study uses novel regularization common correlated effects and half‐panel jackknife approaches on data from 2006 to 2020. The findings of the study show that economic progress effectively reduces the EF of African countries, but renewable energy does not contribute to ecological progress. Due to their insufficient and ineffective utilization, renewable energies are not an important tool for improving ecological systems. Therefore, African countries should prioritize their economic development as a priority goal. Based on the results, African countries experiencing economic advancement should bolster for SDGs objectives through green financial incentives.
