“…As a result of the rapid spread of renewable energy sources, more and more studies are being conducted in many countries to study the impact of the use of renewable energy sources on environmental quality, as well as on economic growth on a national, regional and global scale (Lyu et al, 2022;Kumaran et al, 2020). The results of these studies confirm the existence of an ecological Kuznets curve between CO2 emissions, confirming the hypothesis that using renewable energy sources reduces carbon dioxide emissions (Razmjoo et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of the study is to determine the prospects and difficulties of Kazakhstan's energy transition, as well as to analyze the direction of development of the electric power sector to overcome the difficulties that have developed today. The global trends of transition to a carbon-free economy, the foundation for which was laid during the crisis of 2008, are currently being strengthened under the influence of two factors. Firstly, the fact of climate change as a result of anthropogenic impact is recognized by the world community. Secondly, the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed many states, investors, as well as private companies to more actively implement decarbonization strategies. This is not only due to concern about increasing environmental problems. Decarbonization and energy transition can become an effective tool for stimulating economic development through the development of technology, attracting investment and creating new jobs. The analysis of the consequences of the considered trend for Kazakhstan is carried out. It is shown that the country's strategic documents reflect a cautious approach based on plans to increase hydrocarbon exports. However, we believe that maintaining this approach is fraught with a number of economic and political risks. According to the results of the study, the importance of developing comprehensive strategic approaches aimed at leveling the identified risks is emphasized, and specific proposals for the implementation of a gradual energy transition in Kazakhstan are formulated.

Sustainable environmental quality is a global concern, and a concrete remedy to overcome this challenge is a policy priority. Therefore, this study delves into the subject and examines the effects of governance on environmental quality in 180 countries from 1999 to 2021. To maintain comparability and precision, we first classify countries into full and income-level panels and then, innovatively, construct a composite governance index (CGI) to capture the extensive effects of governance on CO2 emissions. Complementing the stationarity properties of the variables, we employ the cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lags model to analyze the data. Our survey yields four key findings. First, a long-run nexus between CGI, CO2 emissions, and other control variables is confirmed. Second, the findings indicate that CGI is crucial to improving environmental quality by reducing CO2 emissions across all panels. Third, we find that while CGI maintains a similar magnitude, the size of its effects substantially varies according to the income level of the underlying countries. Fourth, the findings reveal that energy consumption, population growth rate, trade openness, and urbanization contribute to environmental degradation, while financial development and the human development index are significant in reducing CO2 emissions. Our findings suggest specific policy implications, summing up that one common policy is not a good fit for all environmental quality measures.

“…It evaluates the null hypothesis of instrumental validity using test statistics that are asymptotically distributed. Second, following prior literature 113 , 114 to test the overall robustness of the estimated coefficients obtained from the Sys-GMM, we use the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) methods. All estimations are performed using EViews 13, Stata-17, Appsnet, OriginPro-2023, and R-Studio software packages.…”

Unveiling the health consequences of air pollution in the world’s most polluted nations

Air pollution poses a persuasive threat to global health, demonstrating widespread detrimental effects on populations worldwide. Exposure to pollutants, notably particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 µm (PM2.5), has been unequivocally linked to a spectrum of adverse health outcomes. A nuanced understanding of the relationship between them is crucial for implementing effective policies. This study employs a comprehensive investigation, utilizing the extended health production function framework alongside the system generalized method of moments (SGMM) technique, to scrutinize the interplay between air pollution and health outcomes. Focusing on a panel of the top twenty polluted nations from 2000 to 2021, the findings yield substantial insights. Notably, PM2.5 concentration emerges as a significant factor, correlating with a reduction in life expectancy by 3.69 years and an increase in infant mortality rates by 0.294%. Urbanization is found to increase life expectancy by 0.083 years while concurrently decreasing infant mortality rates by 0.00022%. An increase in real per capita gross domestic product corresponds with an improvement in life expectancy by 0.21 years and a decrease in infant mortality rates by 0.00065%. Similarly, an elevated school enrollment rate is associated with a rise in life expectancy by 0.17 years and a decline in infant mortality rates by 0.00032%. However, a higher population growth rate is found to modestly decrease life expectancy by 0.019 years and slightly elevate infant mortality rates by 0.000016%. The analysis reveals that per capita greenhouse gas emissions exert a negative impact, diminishing life expectancy by 0.486 years and elevating infant mortality rates by 0.00061%, while per capita energy consumption marginally reduces life expectancy by 0.026 years and increases infant mortality rates by 0.00004%. Additionally, economic volatility shock presents a notable decrement in life expectancy by 0.041 years and an increase in infant mortality rates by 0.000045%, with inflationary shock further exacerbating adverse health outcomes by lowering life expectancy by 0.70 years and elevating infant mortality rates by 0.00025%. Moreover, the study scrutinizes the role of institutional quality, revealing a constructive impact on health outcomes. Specifically, the institutional quality index is associated with an increase in life expectancy by 0.66% and a decrease in infant mortality rates by 0.0006%. Extending the analysis to examine the nuanced dimensions of institutional quality, the findings discern that economic institutions wield a notably stronger positive influence on health outcomes compared to political and institutional governance indices. Finally, the results underscore the pivotal moderating role of institutional quality in mitigating the deleterious impact of PM2.5 concentration on health outcomes, counterbalancing the influence of external shocks, and improving the relationships between explanatory variables and health outcome indicators. These findings offer critical insights for guiding evidence-based policy implications, with a focus on fostering resilient, sustainable, and health-conscious societies.
