“…The results show that for FDI and environmental degradation, there is a negative relationship existing between them, but it is not statistically significant. These results are in line with Voumik and Ridwan (2023). The result for urban population shows that there was a positive relationship.…”

Southern African Customs Union (SACU) countries are under pressure to commit themselves to sustainable environmental activities. This study employed data from 2007 to 2021 using quantile regression to determine the heterogenous effects of industrialisation on environmental degradation in SACU countries. Prior to the main results, this study investigated and confirmed the existence of a long-run relationship between industrialisation and environmental degradation. This study confirms the heterogeneous effect of industrialisation on environmental degradation. The results through quantile process estimates demonstrated an inverted U-shaped curve. The inverted U-shape suggests that industrialisation at lower and higher quantiles has a minor effect on the environment compared to medium quantiles, where it has a higher effect. This study found that industrialisation increases environmental degradation in the 4th to 6th quantiles, whereas in the 7th to 8th quantiles, industrialisation reduces environmental degradation. Therefore, it is recommended by this study that to mitigate environmental degradation, firms in SACU countries are encouraged to adopt environment-friendly technologies in their production.

“…Ali and Anufriev [27] find that Russian universities are taking sustainability initiatives and that education, research, transportation, and waste influence environmental quality. Voumik and Ridwan [18] investigate how foreign direct investment (FDI), education, and industrialization affect the environment in Argentina. The results show a cointegration association between CO 2 , population, automation, and education.…”

“…Also, highly educated human capital utilizes technologies innovatively and efficiently to produce green and clean products [17]. Education makes human capital aware of the country's capacity to follow environmental standards and helps promote green innovation [18].

The Role of Education and Green Innovation in Green Transition: Advancing the United Nations Agenda on Sustainable Development

Educating the masses about the dire consequences of climate change in high-polluting countries is essential to achieving the United Nations’ sustainable development agenda. This study investigates the role of education in environmental sustainability and influencing mechanisms of green innovation and government intervention in China. Using panel data of 31 provinces from 2008 to 2020, our analysis documents the significant impact of education in reducing pollutant emissions. Further, green innovation and government intervention can enhance this impact significantly. Regional heterogeneity tests show a more pronounced effect of education and government intervention in the eastern and western provinces, while the western region is indifferent in this regard. The results are robust to the replacement of core variables and shifting mean values. The likely endogeneity issue is resolved through the system GMM approach, which provides similar estimates as in the baseline regression. The study offers several implications for the government, researchers, policymakers, environmentalists, and industrialists.

“…If we want to reap the benefits of education without contributing to environmental degradation by increasing people's purchasing power and energy consumption, we need a comprehensive set of environmental laws. To enhance the environmental advantages of education, appropriate policy choices include environmental material, increasing media awareness, and training the workforce on energy efficiency [111][112][113]. So, the governments of these countries should re-arrange the education system so that education can motivate people to recycle household garbage and use water and energy resources more wisely.…”

Modeling Energy, Education, Trade, and Tourism-Induced Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) Hypothesis: Evidence from the Middle East

et al. 2023

Global warming has become the main concern in the present world. This research takes a comprehensive look at the interconnections between tourism, gross domestic product (GDP), renewable energy, fossil fuels, education, trade, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Arab Peninsula. Including these variables, the research also checks the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis by analyzing the top 10 tourist destinations from 1997 to 2019. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, Lebanon, and Egypt round out the top 10 countries in Arab in terms of tourist arrivals. The paper uses a novel augmented mean group (AMG) model to explore the problems of slope heterogeneity (SH), cross-sectional dependence (CSD), and the combination of level and first-difference stationery. An association between these variables over time can be discovered using the Westerlund cointegration method. To certify the accuracy of the findings, the research used both the mean group (MG) and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG). According to the research, the EKC does not exist in the most popular Middle Eastern travel destinations. This basically means that as money grows, environmental conditions will deteriorate. The findings show that tourism can help reduce environmental harm there. Indicators such as rising populations, increased energy consumption, and thriving economies all influence the rise of the environmental degradation level. Trade will also increase environmental deterioration. The only things that will help reduce CO2 emissions are tourism and renewable energy. Therefore, the MG and CCEMG results corroborate the AMG findings. Governments may push for the widespread use of refillable energy sources and the development of ecotourism. Therefore, policymakers in this country should rethink their tourism strategies and adopt one that places a premium on renewable energy sources and environmental protection.
