“…There is no direct relationship between GDP and carbon emissions, as the level of carbon emissions in a country can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as the country's energy mix, its level of industrialization, and its population size. However, there is generally a positive correlation between GDP and carbon emissions, as countries with higher GDPs tend to have higher levels of industrialization and consume more energy, which can result in higher levels of carbon emissions [40].…”

The health and wellness of people through life expectancy, mortality rate improvement, and sustaining the productivity of labor contributes a lot to national income. Infrastructure development consumes energy and releases carbon dioxide at different stages of the construction process. The current study explores the nexus between CO2 emission, energy consumption, mortality, life expectancy, and GDP in the top five carbon-emitting countries by using time series data from 1975 to 2015. The study used a cointegration technique to find the long- and short-run relationships between study variables. The study also used a structural break test to identify the break time. The results of the correlation matrix show strong positive correlation between CO2 emissions and energy consumption. It also reflects a weak correlation with mortality and life expectancy in Japan and Russia. The results of the ADF test indicated that the series are stationary at first difference and provided evidence to use Johansen cointegration test for long- and short-run relationships between independent series. Vector error correction term and ECT method are used to find long-run relationships between cointegrated series and adjustment parameters. For the structural breaks of health indicators and energy consumption study, we used the Gregory Hanson structural break. Mortality rate and life expectancy rate of China, U.S., Russia, India, and Japan show relevant policy changes with economic policies of each country.

“…Technology-driven capital may lower energy consumption. Technology-driven capital can also benefit the environment by helping conserve electricity (Çamkaya et al, 2023;Fallon & Layard, 1975). Studying the effects of human capital pollution is vital to achieving sustainable progress and environmental targets.…”

Decreased environmental degradation has come to the forefront of policy debates and academic investigations. Using data from the Pakistan economy, which accounts for a substantial amount of global carbon emissions, investigate the effects of energy efficiency, human capital, renewable energy, and economic growth on the environment from 1990 to 2020. We reveal the influence of human capital by focusing on education investment to provide an understanding of the necessity of policy-making in Pakistan to prevent environmental deterioration. According to the findings, human capital expansion is substantially associated with lower CO2 emissions. Using the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) estimate method, we present a complete analysis of the energy efficiency-environmental deterioration nexus. Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and human capital all are adversely associated and considerable influence on the environment. To attain a green environment, the study recommends strategies to boost energy efficiency, renewable energy, and human capital.
