“…Numerous pressures of the worldwide threat the use of natural resources, for example, high populace development, increase in environmental issues, feeble national institutions, a large scale of infrastructure, and horticultural speculations are responsible for climate change. 29 Similarly, Danish et al. 5 examined that total natural resource sectors increase environmental pollution in Russia and effect environmental degradation in South Africa furthermore total natural resource rents confirm the existence of EKC in BRICS.…”

Climate change is an obstacle in the path of sustainable economic development. One of the key findings in the economics literature is that the use of natural resources contributes to real income per capita. However, its environmental consequences should not be ignored. This paper examines the nexus among CO2 emission, real income, and natural resources, by incorporating urbanization, and trade in Pakistan from 1971 to 2017. The Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) and Vector Error Correction (VECM) models are used for analyzing time-series data. The empirical findings infer that the use of natural resources accelerates the rate of CO2 emission in Pakistan which worsens environmental quality. In addition, the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is confirmed in the presence of natural resource use. Besides, urbanization improves environmental quality through mitigating the level of CO2 emission. Moreover, the feedback hypothesis is found between the use of natural resources and CO2 emission. Additionally, bidirectional causality is found between urbanization and the use of natural resources. Overall, this study supports formulating new policies to overcome environmental degradation through energy-saving technologies.

“…The study established a negative association between green consumption and carbon emission in the environment, implying that CO 2 emission can be controlled by encouraging green consumption among households. Further evidence is available in the study of Kupika et al (2019) with household survey data. The study documented that the transaction to green economy accelerated through implementing climate change programs and projects in the economy.…”

The motivation of the study is to gauge the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU), knowledge spillover (KS), and climate change (CC) on green economy (GE) transition in BRIC nations for the period from 1991 to 2018. The study applied several unit root tests, including DF-GLS and Zivot–Andrew, for ascertaining the stationarity properties of variables. The long-run association between variables was detected by employing ARDL bound test, tBDM test, and Bayer and Hanck combined cointegration test. Furthermore, the asymmetric effects of EPU, KS, and CC on GE were examined by implementing nonlinear ARDL (NARDL), and finally, directional causal effects were evaluated with the Toda–Yamamoto causality test. In addition, the long-run coefficient’s robustness was assessed by applying fully modified OLS, dynamic OLS, and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR). ARDL bound testing confirms the long-run association in the empirical model for all countries with negative statistically significant effects from EPU and CC to the green economy and positive statistically significant impacts from KS to GE. On the other hand, asymmetric assessment established both long- and short-run asymmetry between EPU, KS, CC, and GE. Finally, directional causality establishes feedback hypothesis holds for EPU and GE in Brazil, India, China, KS, and GE in Brazil, Russia, and China. Thus, study findings established that EPU and KS might influence the transition to the green economy in BRIC nations. Thus, for policy formulation targeting green economic development, it is imperative to put extra effort into understanding the role of EPU and knowledge spillover in the economy.

“…Waldhoff S et al used the three-stage model to study the damage caused by four greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane to the efficiency value of global green economy [17]. Kupika et al studied the efficiency of green economy in central Zimbabwe and took the interview results of experts on green economy and climate change as the source data of the second stage of the study; then, the results are more authentic and reliable [18]. Wu MR measured the green technology innovation efficiency of 30 provinces in China from 2008 to 2017 by constructing a three-stage super-efficiency DEA model including undesired output.…”

Green economy is environmentally friendly economy, which is important for the sustainable economic development and environmental protection. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China, a three-stage super-efficient SBM-DEA (slack-based model-data envelopment analysis) model is constructed to evaluate the efficiency of green economy and analyze its regional differences. The results show that, first, the random error factor and external environmental conditions significantly affect the efficiency of green economy. Second, the green economic efficiency in China from 2010 to 2019 is stable and needs to be further improved. Third, through regional comparison, it is found that the green economy efficiency in eastern China is higher than those in central and western China and the green economy efficiency in northeast China is the lowest. Finally, green economy efficiency does not simply depend on the economic development, the regional differences of green economy efficiency results from the combined effects of different geographical resources endowment, different economic development characteristics, and different environmental protection policies in different regions of China. Based on the research findings, corresponding policy suggestions are put forward to improve the efficiency of green economy.
