“…Thus, it was investigated with foreign indirect investment in China [50]; or with energy consumption, economic growth, and trade openness in India [51]; in them, it was obtained that density was the variable that had the most influence. However, in the study of this variable, together with economic growth, energy consumption, and trade openness in 11 Asian countries, the impact was negligible [52]. It was also found that in China the relationship between CO 2 emissions and population density was an inverted U-shaped [53].…”

More than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities. Its buildings consume more than a third of the energy and generate 40% of the emissions. This makes cities in general and their buildings in particular priority points of attention for policymakers and utilities. This paper uses population density as a variable to know its influence on energy consumption and emissions produced in buildings. Furthermore, to show its effect more clearly, the influence of the climate was eliminated. The usual energy consumption in buildings is thermal and electrical. The study was carried out at the city level, both per inhabitant and per household. The area actually occupied by the city was considered. The proposed method was applied to the case of Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. The results show that the higher the population density, the higher the energy consumption per inhabitant and household in buildings. The consumption of thermal energy is elastic, while that of electrical energy is inelastic, varying more than 100% between extreme groups. Regarding CO2 emissions, the higher the population density, the higher the emissions. Emissions of electrical origin barely vary by 2% and are greater than those of thermal origin. In addition, the proportion of emissions of electrical origin, with respect to the total, decreases with increasing population density from 74% to 55%. This research aims to help policymakers and utilities to take the appropriate measures that favor the use of renewable energies and reduce CO2 emissions.

“…On the basis of GVC framework, some literature carried out empirical investigations on the driving factors of carbon emissions embodied in the sharing production activities (Assamoi et al 2020;Duan et al 2021), which bears much similarity with the group of research on international trade and climate change (Kreickemeier and Richter 2014). Traditionally, the environmental outcomes of economic growth have been divided into three effects, that is scale effects, composition effects, and technical effects (Grossman and Krueger 1995), which is widely used in relevant literature on the international trade and environment nexus (Liu and Zhao 2021).…”

Accompanied with the increasing complicated global value chain (GVC) networks is the carbon emission transfers among countries. Utilizing the complex network analysis alongside quadratic assignment procedure (QAP), this paper detects the community structure and influencing forces of the emission transfers under GVCs. The results imply that the bipolar structure of the network transformed gradually to tripolar owing largely to the surging of carbon emissions from China. Evidence on the existence of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in the emission transfers from high-income countries to low-income countries, and a U-shape relationship in the transfers in the reverse direction, suggesting that growing carbon emissions from both low-and high-income countries transferred to other highincome countries gradually. Gaps in technology, especially in patent applications, between source and destination countries played an important role therein.

“…(Sharif et al, 2019) also investigated 74 economies and found support for the EKC-hypothesis. (Álvarez-Herránz et al, 2017;Zhang Y. et al, 2019;Baležentis et al, 2019;Balsalobre-Lorente et al, 2019;Mert et al, 2019;Pao and Chen, 2019;Shahbaz, 2019;Assamoi et al, 2020;Dogan and Inglesi-Lotz, 2020;Muhammad et al, 2020) supported the same view for EKC by using carbon emission as a dependent variable. Using panel and time-series data, studies estimated the correlation between variables and supported EKC.…”

Heterogeneous anthropogenic and insufficient development strategies have caused an international compromise between sustainable growth and environmental deterioration. Environmental concerns have necessitated rules and human capital to protect the global ecosystem. Literature is ambiguous on the usefulness of environmental rules in reducing environmental deterioration. This study examines the impact of environmental regulations and education as a proxy for human capital in Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey (MINT) countries’ ecological footprints between 1990 and 2020. The econometric research shows that present environmental restrictions in MINT countries are unsuccessful at reducing their ecological footprints. Energy consumption and trade-openness also increase ecological footprints. The MINT countries panel also confirms the Environmental Kuznets Curve idea. The country-specific findings show that energy use silently harmed the environment in MINT nations, whereas environmental legislation, economic growth, and trade-openness had diverse effects. These findings suggest that in order for MINT nations to achieve environmental sustainability, they should strengthen and enforce environmental regulations; adopt policies that promote sustainable economic growth; reduce their reliance on fossil-fuels; improve quality education and awareness; and actively engage in sustainable trading activities.
