“…As Kouton (2019) analyzed that ICT-based solution for environment sustainability such as internet associated sensor based light and temperature monitoring system in buildings and households, continuous inform system of energy consumption, automation at power grids and infrastructure, reduces the demand of fossil fuel in energy production. These estimated outcomes regarding ICT on EF in SAARC economies are parallel to other studies as (Chien et al, 2021;Rehman, Gill, & Ali, 2023;Verma et al, 2023).…”

The ecological changes i.e., global warming and climate change is uprising the apprehensions regarding environment degradation in the developing economies. The consequences of carbon emission and ecological deficit are not only problematic for one country but these are affecting the whole region. Therefore, this study assesses the influence of ICT-enabled digital transformation, IQ (institutional quality), energy consumption, and economic growth on the ecological footprint under the framework of EKC (Environment Kuznets Curve) in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, (SAARC) economies over 1990 to 2018. Additionally, this analysis estimates the interaction term effect (ICT*IQ) on environment sustainability. We employed cross-section dependence (CD), second generation panel unit root (CIPS &CADF), and Wasteland’s cointegration econometric techniques. Further, the long and short run estimate concluded though PMG estimator. The PMG-ARDL results exhibited that ICT individual and combine impact lessen the environmental degradation. Moreover, the empirical results validate EKC hypothesis SAARC economies. But, institutional quality, economic growth (GDP) and energy consumption intensify environmental degradation by increasing the ecological footprint. The empirical estimates propose that ICT- enabled digital transformation innovation, diffusion and utilization in institutional framework can achieve the SDGs goals of environmental sustainability.

The escalating energy consumption seen in the BRICS countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, presents a substantial environmental problem, resulting in the depletion of resources, amplified carbon emissions, and endangering the well-being of ecological systems. The study examines the potential of green innovation to alleviate these adverse effects. By combining green technology with strong institutions and responsible energy consumption, we argue that the BRICS nations can significantly reduce their ecological footprint. This research, encompassing data from 1995 to 2022, employs Driscoll–Kraay and panel quantile regression to analyze the complex interplay of institutional quality, energy consumption, green innovation, and ecological footprints across the BRICS countries. Our findings reveal that green innovation is crucial in mitigating the ecological footprint, particularly when combined with resilient institutional quality and controlled energy use. Conversely, factors like high energy consumption, natural resource rent, and urbanization contribute to an increased ecological footprint. Notably, the study emphasizes the critical role of both institutional quality and renewable energy consumption in effectively reducing the ecological burden within the BRICS nations. These findings suggest that prioritizing investments in green technology and institutional development, even amidst high energy demands, represents a viable strategy for the BRICS nations to achieve sustainable growth and environmental responsibility.
