“…Moreover, the EKC is confirmed in the full sample countries, high and the moderate government effectiveness countries while the EKC was not confirmed in the low government effectiveness countries. The results also show that electricity consumption generated from fossil fuels increases CO 2 emission for all country groups including the full sample which is similar to the outcome of Leal and Marques (2020), Mahmood et al (2020), Uddin (2020), Cheikh et al (2020), Abokyi et al (2021) and Amirnejad et al (2021). However, electricity consumption generated from renewable energy sources mitigate CO 2 emission in all country groups including the full sample which is within the line of Leal and Marques (2020) and Tang et al (2021).…”

“…Thus, high income level and higher economic growth tends to lower environmental damage, forming an inverted U-shaped relationship between GDP and pollution. Most of these studies have confirmed the existence of the EKC hypothesis in contexts such as Australia (Churchill et al, 2020), Jamaica (Brown et al, 2020), highly globalized OECD countries (Leal & Marques, 2020), Middle East and North Africa (MENA) (Cheikh et al, 2020;Amirnejad et al, 2021), resource-based countries (Badeeb et al, 2020), China (Ahmad et al, 2021;Pata & Caglar, 2021;Xie et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2020), European countries (Boubellouta & Kusch-Brandt, 2020) and several African countries (Mahmood et al, 2020;Ekeocha, 2021). The majority of these studies utilized CO 2 emission as an indicator of pollution (Churchill et al, 2020;Badeeb et al, 2020;Cheikh et al, 2020;Pata & Caglar, 2021;Ahmad et al, 2021;Abokyi et al, 2021).…”

The lack of studies that examined the influence of government effectiveness on environmental pollution and whether it formulates the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis motivated this research. Therefore, this research examines the role of government effectiveness on CO 2 emission in 170 countries. To achieve the research aims, the system generalized method of moment model is applied while categorizing the countries into three groups: namely high, moderate, and low government effectiveness countries. The major results of this research revealed that government effectiveness reduces CO 2 emission significantly in the overall sample, high and the moderate government effectiveness countries while it is not significant in the low government effectiveness countries. Moreover, the EKC hypothesis is present in the overall sample high and moderate government effectiveness countries while the hypothesis does not exist in the low government effectiveness countries. Therefore, the outcome of this research shows clearly that effectiveness of the government in terms of independence from political pressures, the quality of policy preparation and application, and the reliability of the government's commitment to such policies is an important element that determines the EKC hypothesis. From the outcome of this research, a number of policy implications were provided for the investigated countries.

“…An analysis was done by Zaman et al (2017) related to the sources of natural resource depletion concluded that the liberalization of trade along with the use of non-renewable energy sources greatly impacts the environment whereas, the use of renewable energy sources have a vice versa effect. Amirnejad et al (2021) stated that in the current era, NR encompass all those renewable and nonrenewable energy resources that are consumed by humans which results in enhanced emissions into the atmosphere. Natural resource depletion leads to environmental degradation in a number of different ways that hamper the quality of air in developed and developing countries.…”

The purpose of this current study is to provide a new framework for assessing the impact of financial inclusion on environmental quality in Sub-Saharan Africa countries. To this end, the impact of economic growth, education, natural resource usage, and remittances on carbon emissions, as well as financial inclusion, is evaluated over the 2004-2020 period using second generation panel data methods, namely, CS-ARDL and the following findings are found. Firstly, financial inclusion leads to enhanced carbon emissions. Secondly, economic growth leads to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Thirdly, an improvement in education promotes the quality of the environment. Fourthly, the depletion of natural resources has a harmful effect on the environment. Fifthly, remittances result to an increase in carbon emissions.On the basis of these findings, policy recommendations are made to assist the aforementioned countries in achieving their sustainable development goals.

The article talks about the problem of air pollution. In the world, its economic, social, and environmental aspects are receiving increased attention. This trend is clearly visible in the example of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all countries of the world in 2015 with a horizon of implementation up to 2030. A significant part of the SDGs is directly or indirectly related to combating air pollution, which will improve the health of the population and life cities, mitigate climate problems, create a new energy sector, implement new technologies, etc. Here we can mention SDG 3 (health), SDG 7 (energy), SDG 8 (economic growth), SDG 9 (industrialization and innovation), SDG 11 (sustainable cities), SDG 13 (climate), SDG 15 (terrestrial ecosystems). In fact, we can talk about the formed “air” priorities in the transition to new economic models, primarily green and low-carbon ones.
