“…Similarly, results from He et al [32] who affirmed the positive link between NREC and CO 2 in Mexico, and Fatima et al [33] who suggested that an increase in the level of NREC led to increased CO 2 emissions in high emitter countries. In Turkey, [34][35][36][37] used a different method and ensured the NREC positively affected the levels of carbon in Turkey over different tested periods.…”

In the literature, the linkage between income, energy, and carbon emissions has been widely examined and most of the empirical studies have not investigated the impact of the real estate market on their empirical models. Our study endeavors to present a novel topic by investigating the influence of the real estate market on Turkey’s environmental quality, using an advanced method of the Bootstrap Autoregressive Distributed Lag (BARDL). We estimate that consumption of renewable energy contributes significantly to CO2 emissions, while real income increases the environmental degradation in both the short and long run. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that the real estate market contributes negatively to the deduction of carbon emissions in Turkey. A one percent increase in the real estate market will cause a rise in Turkey’s carbon level by 0.010% and 0.009% in the short and long term, respectively. Our research suggests that Turkey should design new strategies for sustainable real estate markets to improve the environmental quality by supporting green investment projects.

“…Accepting sustainable substitutes, including repurposed materials and resources obtained ethically, can lessen these negative impacts while fostering ecosystem health and biodiversity [6]. Secondly, a significant portion of carbon emissions is caused by the construction sector [7]. Conventional building techniques mostly rely on energy-intensive operations, such as the manufacturing of cement, which contributes significantly to global carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions [8,9].…”

Manufacturing cement has a major impact on climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Selecting sustainable cement alternatives is vital but entails difficult trade-offs between numerous variables. The objective of this study is to determine the most environmentally beneficial method of cement manufacturing by employing an integrated life cycle assessment multi-criteria decision-making technique. The LCA is employed to quantitatively evaluate the environmental effects of ten different methods of cement production across eighteen distinct categories. Meanwhile, the CRITIC weighted TOPSIS and EDAS MCDM approaches are utilized to rank the various alternatives by determining their proximity to the optimal solution. The LCA results showed that CEM III/A slag cement had lower environmental impacts than Portland cement. With a ranking score of 0.9094 and 1.7228 for EDAS and TOPSIS techniques, respectively, both MCDM identified CM10: ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) as the most recommended. In addition, midpoint characterization revealed that clinker production was responsible for 55% of the global warming impact. Based on these findings, slag cements are more environmentally friendly than Portland cement. Furthermore, an integrated LCA-MCDM approach offers a thorough sustainability evaluation that incorporates many aspects. Overall, this research shows that blast furnace slag cements, notably CM10, are ideal alternatives for reducing the environmental consequences of cement production in a variety of areas. This integrated methodology provides a systematic framework for making informed decisions in the production of sustainable cement.

“…All variables have been discovered to be co-integrated and the short-run and long-run dynamics have demonstrated the existence of inverted U-shaped of the EKC hypothesis where there has been inverted U-shaped association between carbon emission and industrial development which had been established by Lind and Mehlum test as well. The Granger causality demonstrates unidirectional causality running from fossil fuel to carbon emission, and bidirectional causalities relationship among industrial growth and fossil oil and financial development and fossil fuel Yıldırım and Yıldırım (2021). examine the link between carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, real GDP, energy use, trade, and construction sector activities in Turkey within the framework of autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL), and Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC).…”

The main research objective is to examine the long-run relationship between trade openness, industrial & construction development, economic growth, energy consumption, and ecological footprint by performing the Westerlund co-integration, FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR tests for Northern European (Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden) and Latin American Countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay) from 1980 to 2018. Considering the FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR test results of Northern European countries the EKC hypothesis is not confirmed for Finland, Norway and Sweden except Denmark and Netherlands. There is a long-run relationship among industrial & construction development, economic growth, and ecological footprint for both Denmark and Netherlands which verifies the EKC hypothesis from 1980 to 2018. When the remaining countries are examined, the results are opposite. There is no long-run relationship among relevant variables for Finland, Denmark, and Sweden from 1980 to 2018. Besides, there is no effect of industrial & construction development, economic growth, energy consumption, and trade openness on ecological footprint for Finland, Denmark, and Sweden from 1980 to 2018. The EKC hypothesis is not confirmed for Latin American countries as well. Similar results are obtained by using the same variables and other models including FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR for all Latin American countries. The pollution problem in question is of particular concern to developed countries. Because, these countries are forced to use heavy industry, which is far from the nano-technological industry structure and has high environmental degradation. In this context, Denmark should build an artificial island as a precaution against the climate crisis. Another main recommendation is Dutch government should build hydrogen heated homes in order to wage a fight against air pollution.
