“…This research also expresses that trade is negative and significantly associated with carbon emissions in both models 1 and 3 at the 5% and 10% significance levels, respectively. In this vein, Leitão ( 2021 ) study on Portugal from 1970 to 2016 explains that trade adds to environmental improvements. This research also confirms that foreign direct investment and technological innovation connections with carbon emissions is just negative (model 1 and 3).…”

Early periods of history have demonstrated that enhanced economic development is fostered in instances where natural resources are abundant, hence averting the resource curse. In this vein, accelerated economic advancement is driven by a rigorous and proficient financial sector that efficiently utilises and allocates the economy’s natural resources. A strong financial system that transforms resources into advantages rests on an advanced technological innovation base, superior human capital, distinct foreign direct investment, powerful trade, and sustainable energy consumption. While this paper investigates the nexus of these factors, the specific purpose of this research is to examine the interactive impact of financial development and natural resource rents on carbon emissions in the new BRICS economies for the duration of 1990 to 2019. The panel data generalised least squares (GLS) and the panel-corrected standard error (PCSE) techniques are adopted. The Dumitrescu and Hurlin technique is used to establish causality. The study found a U-shaped association between economic growth and emissions. The findings prove that the financial development of financial institutions and the financial development of financial markets’ relationships with emissions are significantly positive. Natural resource rents, energy consumption, and human capital create a significantly positive relationship with emissions (mostly just positive for technological innovation). Conversely, the connection involving trade and carbon emissions is significantly negative (but mostly just negative for FDI). The interaction (s) intervening financial development of financial institutions and financial development of financial markets with natural resource rent significantly lowers emissions, respectively. The interaction parameter (financial development of financial institutions, natural resource rent, and financial development of financial markets) mixed with trade significantly adds emissions (positively insignificant with energy consumption). Contrarily, this factor mixed with human capital and technological innovation, respectively, is significantly negative (just negative for FDI). The Dumitrescu–Hurlin panel Granger causality outcomes are also outlined.

This analysis explored the effect of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in a panel of twenty-nine countries from the European Union (EU) from 2010 to 2020. The method of moments quantile regression (MM-QR) was used, and the ordinary least squares with fixed effects (OLSfe) was used to verify the robustness of the results. The MM-QR support that in all three quantiles, economic growth causes a positive impact on GHGs. In the 50th and 75th quantiles, energy consumption causes a positive effect on GHGs. BEVs in the 25th, 50th, and 75th quantiles have a negative impact on GHGs. The OLSfe reveals that economic growth has a negative effect on GHGs, which contradicts the results from MM-QR. Energy consumption positively impacts GHGs. BEVs negatively impacts GHGs. Although the EU has supported a more sustainable transport system, accelerating the adoption of BEVs still requires effective political planning to achieve net-zero emissions. Thus, BEVs are an important technology to reduce GHGs to achieve the EU targets of decarbonising the energy sector. This research topic can open policy discussion between industry, government, and researchers, towards ensuring that BEVs provide a climate change mitigation pathway in the EU region.

“…Also, the EKC hypothesis is validated. Moreover, the study of Leitão (2021a) in Portugal using FMOLS disclosed that an increase in GDP contributes to the degradation of the environment. Using the ARDL approach, Khan et al (2019) assessed the connection between GDP and CO 2 from 1965 to 2015 and their outcome disclosed a positive GDP-CO 2 interrelationship.…”

The continuous growth in CO2 emissions of nations around the globe has made achieving the aim of sustainable development extremely challenging. Therefore, the current research assesses the connection between CO2 emissions and economic complexity in the top 7 economic complexity countries while taking into account the role of economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and globalization for the period between 1993 and 2018. The research aims to answer the following questions: 1) What is the association between CO2 and the regressors in the long-run? 2) What are the effects of renewable energy consumption, economic growth, economic complexity, and globalization on CO2 emissions? The research utilized the CS-ARDL, CCEMG and panel causality approaches to investigate these interconnections. The empirical outcomes revealed that economic growth and economic complexity increase CO2 emissions while renewable energy consumption and globalization mitigate CO2 emissions. The outcomes of the causality test revealed a feedback causal connection between economic growth and CO2, while a unidirectional causality was established from economic complexity, globalization and renewable energy consumption to CO2 emissions in the top 7 economic complexity countries.
