“…In recent years, there has been a prominent and rapid growth in urbanization worldwide. In 2010, the world population in urban centers reached up to 50% . Generally, urbanization is considered the pillar of a prosperous economy, but its effects on the environment and infrastructure are of great concern to the policymakers, as it has been found that urbanization has increased energy use, carbon emissions and depletion of natural resources.…”

The extreme amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) being released into the atmosphere has proved to be a globally challenging phenomenon that leads to changes in the climate and global warming. The amount of GHGs in the atmosphere has escalated immensely, with a substantial growth of 5.8% in 2010; a similar increase was observed in Pakistan as well. In Pakistan, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions stand at 54% of total GHG emissions whereas methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide and volatile organic carbon contribute to emissions at 36%, 9%, 0.75% and 0.3%, respectively. One of the key reasons for climatic changes is GHG emission generation from human interventions and activities related to transportation, urban development, industrialization, energy sources, farming and agriculture, waste's improper management, land use and forestry. In 2011, Pakistan's entire GHG emissions were a whopping 347 Mt of CO2‐eq, and by 2050, they are estimated to reach 4621 Mt CO2‐eq. This review evaluates and assesses GHG emissions generating from various sectors in Pakistan, in a socio‐scientific prospect that is caused by human activities and interventions in different economic sectors in Pakistan, endangering the environment across the country. Additionally, the review examines the current level of GHG emissions while accounting for China–Pakistan Economic Corridor–based emissions, abatement strategies including development of a state‐of‐the‐art technique for carbon capture and storage/utilization technologies in Pakistan. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Renewable assets, on the other hand, such as hydropower, solar, biomass, wind, and geothermal, also have direct environmental impacts and influences -some of which are favorable (Sekrafi & Sghaier, 2018). According to Sharif and Raza (2016), the right dimension and degree of environmental impacts varies depending on certain technological processes, geographic locations, and several other variables and factors. In OECD nations, the environmental impact of energy harvesting and consumption is diverse.…”

The world is governed by the issues of environmental degradation, climate control, pollutant emissions and other such phenomena due to the increasing dilapidation of environmental resources. For a while now, the focus has been on the production of green technologies, clean energy solutions and the development of a sustainable module that will aid in the restoration and protection of the environment. In this scenario, the dependence on consumption patterns of energy, economic growth (EG), and environmental degradation (ED) have become the focus of many researchers and policymakers. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries are understandably characterized as the fastest developing nations of the world. However, literature evaluating the influence of energy consumption (EC) and economic growth (EG) on environmental degradation has presented conflicting results. This study aims to solve this conflict by presenting a panel dataset comprised of 35 OECD between 2000-2014. The Generalized Method of Moments Panel Vector Autoregression (GMM-PVAR) has been used to estimate the impact and causal relationship between the variables. The results of the study indicate that EG and consumption patterns of energy are vital for the improvement of the environmental performance of the firms. In contrast to other empirical literature, this study finds that the economic development of the country or countries and the patterns of consumption have started to coagulate with set environmental performance parameters. Environmental policies, consumption patterns and plans for EG are all being aligned in OECD countries. The results of this study are robust, as different methods for the evaluation have been used.

“…ARDL approach has preference over other cointegration methods because ARDL can be used regardless of whether selected variables are stationary at I(0), I(1) or mutually co-integrated (Pesaran & Shin, 1998). The ARDL method has better estimated for small sample properties (Haug, 2002;Shah, 2016;Sharif, Raza, et al, 2016). Regardless explanatory variable is endogenous even then in ARDL method, the estimations may be performed (Pesaran & Shin, 1998;Pesaran et al, 2001Pesaran et al, , 2001).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the long run as well as the short run relationship between exchange rate and interest rate in the context of Pakistan. Annual time series data have been used over the period of 1980 to 2015. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Johansen and Jeuuselius's cointegration technique, auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound testing model, error correction model (ECM), CUSUM and CUSUM of square tests for stability of model and, causality analysis in supporting variance decomposition are used to meet the research purpose. The study concluded the existence of a significant positive relationship between exchange rate and interest rate in the long run as well as in the short run in the context of Pakistan. These results are consistent with theoretical aspects. It is suggested that Pakistan should form economic, policies, especially monetary policy, keeping view the relationship between exchange rate and interest rate.
