“…According to [17], the estimated long-term elasticities of economic growth and carbon emissions indicate that both clean and non-clean energy consumption significantly impact economic growth, whereas carbon emission impedes it. The same authors' results further reveal that economic growth, non-clean energy consumption, and the interaction between trade openness and non-clean energy consumption drive carbon dioxide emissions [18]. However, clean energy consumption has been observed to reduce carbon emissions.…”

The aim of this research is to relate clean energies, CO2 emissions, and economic variables. Relationships can be generated that characterize countries that manage to relate the use of clean energy with GDP, economic openness, and economic growth. We employ a quantitative methodology that utilizes clustering techniques to identify distinct groups of countries based on their susceptibility to climate change impacts. Subsequently, we employ a generalized linear model approach to estimate the investment behaviors of these country groups in alternative energy sources in relation to CO2 emissions and macroeconomic variables. The clusters reveal that the countries grouped in each cluster exhibit significantly distinct behaviors among the clusters. This differentiation is grounded in the countries under analysis, showing the evolution of the countries in terms of the use of clean energy and the emission of CO2 in relation to macroeconomic variables. According to the conducted research, there are different groups with differentiated behavior in terms of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, which implies the implementation of policies consistent with the development characteristics of the countries and how they cope with climate risk. Moreover, as a result of this research, a recommendation for policy makers could be that sustainable and clean development countries are based in three different sustainability dimensions: environmental, economic, and social.

“…[ 78 ], which comprised CADF and CIPS, were applied to explore the stationarity among the parameters. When analyzing and resolving the CSD abnormalities in the panel dataset, these stationarity methods perform better than the traditional methods [ 72 , 81 , 82 ]. Furthermore, relative to first-generation unit root tests, it has been demonstrated in prior erstwhile studies that these stationary approaches produce reliable and robust estimates [ 76 , 81 ].…”

“…Furthermore, the growing demand for electricity has increased energy consumption by 50% [27][28][29]. A rapid rise in the production of domestic and industrial products is causing developing countries to generate waste, extract resources, consume fossil fuels, and expand their ecological footprints [30][31][32].…”

This study aims to fill a crucial gap in current research by examining the multifaceted relationships between energy depletion, technical cooperation grants, industrialization, and environmental degradation. By focusing on Pakistan, a country emblematic of many developing nations facing rapid industrialization and resource constraints, this research offers valuable insights with broad applicability. The significance of this study lies in its innovative approach of utilizing load capacity factor as a novel proxy for environmental sustainability, moving beyond traditional metrics like CO2 emissions and ecological footprints. The study analyzes time series data from 1970 to 2022 using advanced econometric techniques, particularly the dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of the impact of energy depletion, technical cooperation grants, and industrialization on environmental degradation. Energy depletion and industrialization are found to exert a significant and adverse influence on environmental quality, exacerbating degradation over time. Conversely, technical cooperation grants emerge as a mitigating factor, demonstrating a positive association with environmental sustainability. Moreover, the study conducts a sensitivity analysis by comparing the results obtained using the load capacity factor with those derived from ecological footprints. This comparative analysis offers robust insights into the dynamics of environmental degradation, enriching the understanding of the complex interplay between economic activities and environmental outcomes. Further, policies are discussed for theory and practice.
