“…Al-Mulali (2014) found that in most regions, there is a long-run positive relationship between trade variables, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Khalil (2023) conducted a study on the gulf countries to examine the impact of the ESG factors on achieving 2030 sustainable development goals, and found that green innovation, ntech and green nance help in achieving these goals. Haug (2019) found that decreases in exports reduce CO2 emissions per capita, but increases in imports push up CO2 emissions per capita.…”

This study aims to investigate the relationship between macroeconomic factors and CO2 emissions. The study used a sample of data covering the period from 1991 to 2019 and employed ordinary least squares (OLS) method to estimate the relationship. The study found that there is a strong relationship between CO2 emissions and the macroeconomic factors of exports, imports, governmental budget, and oil products. The R-squared value of 0.717668 suggests that these variables explain approximately 72% of the variation in CO2 emissions. The coefficients for exports, imports and oil products are statistically significant at the 5% level. A negative coefficient for exports indicates that an increase in exports is associated with a decrease in CO2 emissions. On the other hand, a positive coefficient for imports suggests that an increase in imports is associated with an increase in CO2 emissions. Additionally, the positive coefficient for oil products indicates that an increase in oil product consumption is associated with a significant increase in CO2 emissions. The coefficient for the government budget variable is not statistically significant, which suggests that changes in the government budget do not have a significant impact on CO2 emissions. The results are robust and reliable as the assumptions of linearity, normality and homoscedasticity of errors were met. The study results could help policy makers in taking potential actions to mitigate CO2 emissions in the country.

“…The region's natural endowments position is an asset for renewable energy generation. This is a much needed transition considering the global urgency to mitigate climate change impacts (Doğan et al, 2022;Balsalobre-Lorente et al, 2023a;Khalil et al, 2023). Like in most countries in the global South, rate of urbanization especially in the is increasing steadily creating serious obstacles for sustainable urban development (Rana, 2011;Chen et al, 2016).…”

“…This study provides a lens through which to view the interactions between energy consumption patterns, the expansion of human capital, and the manufacturing sector's evolution within the urbanization process. By exploring these dynamics, it seeks to inform policies that could steer the region towards a more sustainable and resilient future (Alharthi et al, 2021;Khalil et al, 2023).…”

Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region possesses immense capacity for renewable energy generation. Despite the potential, most countries in the region are yet to fully embrace renewable energy. Non-renewable sources still dominate their energy mix. This study examines the interplay between urbanization, renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, and environmental quality in the six Middle Eastern and North African countries from 1990 to 2021, using the mean group (MG), the mean group dynamic least squares (DOLSMG), the common correlated effect (CCE), augmented mean group (AMG) and the cross-section augmented ARDL (CS–ARDL). Accounting for urbanization, and economic growth, the findings of DOLSMG indicate that while renewable energy and manufacturing activities significantly contribute to environmental quality, urbanization and human capital development significantly contributes to environmental degradation. The CS-ARDL short-term and long run estimation result showed that manufacturing activities significantly contribute to environmental quality, When examined by country, it was found that there is a unidirectional causal relationship from economic growth, manufacturing value added, urbanization, human capital development to dioxide emissions in Saudi Arabia. While there is a unidirectional causality from manufacturing value added to dioxide emissions in Jordan, and a unidirectional causality from urbanization to dioxide emissions in Tunisia.
