“…For a panel of 99 developing countries in multiple regions across the globe, the sub-indicators of governance: political stability, the rule of law and corruption control have been found to be significantly negatively related to per capita CO2 emissions [ 28 ]. According to [ 29 ], corruption in the government sector in developing countries should be responsible for environmental pollution. They also believe that increasing transparency and improving governance quality can be attached to the confrontation with the challenges of reducing carbon emissions.…”

In the past 40 years, the continuous strengthening of the greenhouse effect has led to a significant increase in the global average temperature. Although people’s understanding of climate change has been strengthened, the world has not yet witnessed a significant decline in pollutant emissions; hence it is imperative to get to the root cause. This paper is based on the STIRPAT model framework and uses the panel data of G20 countries over the period 1999–2019 to examine the role of financial development on carbon emissions under good governance. The results show that financial development significantly promotes carbon dioxide emissions, and the impact presents an inverted “U”-shaped trend when the quadratic term of financial development is introduced. Surprisingly, governance quality indicators increase carbon emissions. However, financial development accompanied by good governance suppresses carbon emissions. Moreover, according to the grouped results of developed and developing countries, different nations should adopt differentiated strategies in development finance to implement the carbon emission targets proposed by the G20. In addition, this paper also confirms the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. In light of this, policymakers should optimize the quality of governance while shifting their agendas toward environmentally responsible financial practices to promote financial development to improve environmental quality effectively. Furthermore, strengthen international cooperation, enhance public environmental protection concepts, and take joint actions to achieve low-carbon and win-win results.

“…Contrarily, Dash et al (2020) in their study on 61 developing economies find that government integrity (GI) and carbon emission have significant positive correlation. They argue that governance and human development are positively related, while human development results in more urbanisation, industrialisation and higher pollution.…”

Financial development (FD), by supporting financial inclusion, economic growth and green innovation, kindles sustainable development (SD), though unbridled FD without governance can fuel unsustainable activities. Therefore, we aim to estimate the role of governance (CG) in the FD-SD nexus for a panel of 128 countries covering the period 1995-2017 using advanced econometric methods. Results infer that FD beyond certain level may hamper SD, while governance always encourages SD. Besides, their confluence has substitutive effects, especially in high-income countries, yet it is crucial for sustainability. These insights are useful for policymakers to develop appropriate FD, governance and SD strategies.

“…In another study, [65] estimated the moderating effect of corruption on emission, trade, and economic growth in the BRICS countries. [66] found a heterogeneous impact of corruption on emissions. In developing and less developed countries, it is more intense, while in developed countries, its effect is mitigated by proper policy implementation [67].…”

Do Better Institutional Arrangements Lead to Environmental Sustainability: Evidence from India

The efficient planning, execution, and management of institutional frameworks for climate change adaptation are essential to sustainable development. India, in particular, is known to be disproportionately vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. This study examines the effects of environmental taxes, corruption, urbanization, economic growth, ecological risks, and renewable energy sources on CO2 emissions in India from 1978 to 2018. Therefore, the ARDL model is used to draw inferences, and Pairwise Granger causality is also applied to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship. The empirical results show that corruption, environmental dangers, GDP, and urbanization positively influence India’s carbon emissions. However, the results of short-run elasticities show that carbon emissions reduce ecological sustainability. Environmental hazards and costs, like other countries, impact India’s carbon emissions. Therefore, decision-makers in India should set up strict environmental regulations and anti-corruption measures to combat unfair practice that distorts competition laws and policies. In addition, the government concentrates more on energy efficiency policies that diminish carbon emissions without hampering economic growth in the country.
