“…If we assume a 1% increase in Pakistan's CO2 emissions, it increased agricultural productivity by 0.17%. This finding is in line with the results of (Manzoor Munir Ahmad et al, 2021;Khattak et al, 2020;Rehman et al, 2020). Furthermore, the term error correction term (ECT)'s negative coefficient value indicates the validity of short-term linkages between variables.…”

Environmental change daunts the aptitude to ensure global food security. The greatest significant threat to world fronting is how to mitigate environmental pollution without sacrificing agricultural productivity. The sharp rise in carbon dioxide emissions and global warming is altering the agriculture productivity's patterns as its vulnerability can be sensed by farmers. The spillover impact of climatic changes predicted to be great but differs by area and crop. This research fulfills the unprecedented need of adopting robustness methods to quantify the impact of CO2 emissions, agriculture labor, land, feeds, and fertilizers on agriculture productivity over five decades-long data structured in time-series. The fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS), wavelet transform coherence (WTC) method, and gradual shift causality, tools have been espoused to observe the dynamic linkage in the long-term and short-run. The ARDL bound test confirms long-term co-integrated relation among the indicators. Furthermore, there is evidence of positive association between agriculture productivity and regressors which is also supported by the wavelet coherence outcomes. The Gradual shift causality test present a uni-directional causal link from all determinants to agriculture productivity which illustrates that all the regressors can significantly predict agriculture productivity. So, policies need to be formulated to explore a practical expansion approach with efficient use of fertilizers and feeds at an optimum level, in addition to environmental protection by encouraging public and private investment in agricultural research.

“…Khattak et al ( 2020 ) analyzed the effects of innovation, renewable energy, and GDP per capita on CO 2 emissions in BRICS countries over the period 1980–2016. The test results showed that technological innovation could not mitigate the CO 2 emissions in China, India, Russia, and South Africa.…”

Innovation technologies have been recognized as an efficient solution to alleviate carbon emissions stem from the transport sector. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of innovation on carbon emissions stemming from the transportation sector in Mediterranean countries. Based on the available data, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey are selected as the 8 developing countries; and Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, and Spain are selected as the 6 developed countries and included in the analysis. Due to data constraints, the analysis period has been determined as 1997–2017 for the developing Mediterranean countries and 2003–2017 for the developed Mediterranean countries. After determining the long-term relationship with the panel co-integration method, we obtained the long-term coefficients with PMG and DFE methods. The empirical test results indicated that the increments in the level of innovation in developing countries have a positive impact on carbon emissions due to transportation if the innovation results from an increase in patents. An increase in the level of innovation in developed countries has a positive impact on carbon emissions due to transportation if the innovation results from an increase in trademark. As a result, innovation level has a positive effect on carbon emissions due to transportation, and this effect is stronger for developed countries.

“…In 2012 alone, the BRICS states were responsible for nearly 40.6 percent of global GHGs (World Bank, 2020). Khattak, Ahmad, Khan, and Khan (2020) reported that these economies were among the top-seven CO2-emanating states in 2014, attributing to high industrial production, fossil fuel use, and exports in these economies. According to the World Bank (2017) B r a z i l R u s s i a I n d i a C h i n a S o u t h A f r i c a…”

Environmental degradation is harming the sustainable development of all societies by reducing the availability of resources for development. And environmental pollution is largely due to the use of fossil fuels, like natural gas, petroleum, coal, heavy oil, bitumen, and oil shales. According to many researchers and environmentalists, clean technologies have been considered an effective method to deal with environmental pollution. Thus, governments and enterprises have invested a significant amount in green research and development expenditures for green and sustainable research to improve clean technologies. However, cyclical fluctuations (increasing in the boom period and declining in the recession) could badly affect the research and development expenditures and green and sustainable research. Moreover, the pro-cyclicality in green and sustainable technology research may have a non-linear effect on environmental sustainability. However, there are no empirical studies on the non-linear link between green and sustainable technology research and environmental sustainability. This paper explored the asymmetrical relationships between green and sustainable technology research and environmental sustainability among the BRICS states, along with foreign direct investment, renewable energy use, and exports as control variables. The data was analyzed by second and third-generation economic techniques such as Slope Heterogeneity and Cross-Section Independence Test, Unit Root Test, structural break unit root test, Panel Cointegration with Structural Breaks cointegration tests, CS-ARDL, AMG, FMOLS, and Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Causality test. The results showed that positive shocks to green and sustainable technology research and renewable energy consumption are proper to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions (short- and long-run). Meanwhile, negative shocks to green and sustainable technology research, gross domestic product, foreign direct investment, and exports increase carbon dioxide emissions.
