“…Zaman et al . examined the impact of energy demand and air quality indicators on Pakistan's natural resources taken an annual time series data from 1975 to 2012 and found that energy demand increases natural resource rents and deplete natural resources, while air quality indicators largely influenced country's natural resources, which deem desirable to preserve it for sustainable development of the country.…”

“…Ozturk [19] considered the BRICS countries in estimation of WEF's nexus and environmental sustainability, using a time series data from 1980 to 2013 and found that inadequate water resources and energy crisis largely damage the BRICS's food security, while economic growth increases energy demand on the cost of environmental damages. Zaman et al [20] examined the impact of energy demand and air quality indicators on Pakistan's natural resources taken an annual time series data from 1975 to 2012 and found that energy demand increases natural resource rents and deplete natural resources, while air quality indicators largely influenced country's natural resources, which deem desirable to preserve it for sustainable development of the country.…”

The study aims to explore the dynamic relationships between Water‐Energy‐Food (WEF) resources, carbon‐fossil‐GHG emissions, and growth specific factors in the context of Pakistan by using an annual time series data from 1970 to 2016. The results of simultaneous Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator show that industry value added largely influenced water's share in carbon emissions and fossil fuel combustion, while chemicals that used in manufacturing value added largely increases water's GHG footprints in a country. The inverted U‐shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) relationship confirmed for water's carbon footprint and food's carbon‐fossil‐GHG footprint with a turning point of EKC per capita income at US$1120, US$1170, US$1250, and US$1140, respectively. The U‐shaped EKC is substantiated by water's share in fossil fuel and energy's carbon‐fossil‐GHG footprints, while monotonic increasing functions is established with per capita income and water's share in GHG emissions. The Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) is verified in case of water's share in carbon emissions, while IPAT hypothesis is substantiate in water's carbon footprint, food's carbon‐fossil‐GHG footprints, and energy's carbon‐fossil footprint. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13132, 2019

“…Beyond the above research, numerous attempts have also been made to examine the validity of existing policies. A recent research, which investigated the impacts of biofuel production on the ecosystem in six regions of the world through panel econometric techniques, confirmed the conclusion that expansion of biofuels was not a good choice to cope with climate change given its negative impacts on biodiversity and water resource at the global scale (Zaman et al, 2016 (Ozturk, 2015).…”

The water-energy-food nexus has gained increasing attention in the research communities as the security of water, energy and food becomes a very high concern due to future uncertainties. Studies pertaining to calculations of flows and dependencies between different resources, assessments of technology and policy applications, and quantifications of system performance have been conducted to understand their interlinkages and develop management options. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review on the concepts, research questions and methodologies in the field of waterenergy-food. First, two types of nexus definition are compared and discussed to understand the nature of nexus research issues. Then, nexus research questions are summarized into three themes: internal relationship analysis, external impact analysis, and nexus system evaluation. Eight nexus modelling approaches are discussed in terms of their advantages, disadvantages and applications, and guidance is provided on the selection of an appropriate modelling approach. Finally, future research challenges are identified, including system boundary, data uncertainty and modelling, underlying mechanism of nexus issues and system performance evaluation. This review helps bring research efforts together to address the challenging questions in the nexus research and develop sustainable and resilient water, energy and food systems. 2 Highlights: 1. Two definitions of nexus exist but they can be unified under integrated system assessment 2. Nexus research is classified into three questions: internal relationship, external analysis, system evaluation 3. Nexus modelling should consider research questions, system scales and data availability 4. Future research challenges are identified to develop sustainable and resilient nexus systems

“…Groom et al (2008) emphasized the need of "biodiversity-friendly biofuels" for certifying sustainability issue with low carbon debt while Eggers et al (2009) considered biofuels as a potential threat to the biodiversity loss. Blanchard et al (2011), Zaman et al (2016), andTiteux et al (2016), all these studies confined the role of biofuels in order to assess its environmental affects in a diversified panel of countries and they are generally concluded that biofuels production and consumption have a visible environmental affects to land-use, food security, water resources, climate change and biodiversity loss.…”

Since our growth, the human-made activities for better living damage the global environment. Biodiversity is no exception that damages due to massive humanization process. This study focused on the relationship between biofuels consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and biodiversity in a panel of 12 selected biofuels consuming countries for a period of 2000-2013. The study employed panel fixed effect and panel random effect model to obtain the parameter estimates. The results found that biofuels consumption and carbon dioxide emissions both damage the biodiversity in a panel of countries. The results confirm the cointegration relationship between the variables. The quest for the renewable energy fuels for human development remains the keen agenda for the policy makers, however, the war for better health and wealth always exhausts the natural environment of the world's precious natural resources that should be taken into account in the next call for alerts.
