“…Based on the studies of Hubacek et al (2009), Harris, (2010), Liddle (2013), Danish et al (2019), Alola et al (2019), and Danish et al (2020), in the present study, we intended to establish the nonlinear ecological footprint function, which enables us to obtain the common long-run coefficients for each determinant. In most of the Asian countries, economic attributes are visibly dominating environmental pollution (Sabir and Gorus, 2019). In this regard, by identifying the common determinants of the EFP, the study may enable us to extend the existing literature because the variables such as life expectancy and population density may have a significant impact on the established ecosystem (Alola et al, 2019).…”

“…Due to the weak prediction power of the traditional panel unit-root tests, we have performed the second-generation tests because these tests are more reliable in the presence of a cross-sectional association. The ignorance of the cross-sectional dependency may lead to unreliable results because macroeconomic variables tend to influence across regions and may lead to significant common shocks in the long run (Sabir and Gorus, 2019). If the study period is sufficiently long and the country-panel is relatively small, the Lagrangian multiplier test is apt for the stability examination.…”

Economic and demographic transitions led by the persistent increase in the per capita income have challenged the environmental conservation drive in most of the developing nations. Therefore, in recent years, policymakers emphasized the need for navigating the harmful impacts of economic growth endeavors on the established ecosystem. In this regard, the widespread usage of renewable energy solutions has helped in restoring the environmental quality in both developed and developing countries. Keeping this in mind, in the present study, we examined the long run and short-run impacts of per capita income, renewable energy, life expectancy, and population density on the ecological footprint in the eight developing countries of South and Southeast Asia from 1990-2015. In the selected nations, these variables appear to be the potential drivers of the ecological footprint. To calculate the common coefficients, we have employed the cross-sectional augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) approach, as this approach handles the cross-sectional dependency issue efficiently and provides the short-run and long-run coefficients. The long-run results supported the need for low pollution-intense energy resources because the association between per capita income and ecological footprint is found N-shaped. Further, the study established that the increased use of renewable energy has significantly reduced the ecological footprint in the region. However, the increased population density has led to an increase in pollution emissions in these countries. Similarly, the impact of life expectancy on the ecological footprint is found positive but insignificant. Based on the findings, a multipronged policy framework has been designed, so that these nations can attain the objectives of certain sustainable development goals (SDGs).

“…As a result, EFs are relatively better environmental quality indicators in South Asia since the EF considers the other vital forms of environmental degradation [20][21][22]. Besides, among the recent studies that have considered EF to model the EKC hypothesis in South Asia [23,24], the critically important role of renewable energy use on the EF has been overlooked. Along this line, this study aims to bridge this literature gap since renewable energy adoption is expected to be crucial from the perspective of attaining environmental sustainability in South Asia.…”

Renewable Energy Use and Ecological Footprints Mitigation: Evidence from Selected South Asian Economies

et al. 2021

Fossil fuel-dependency has induced a trade-off between economic growth and environmental degradation across the developing nations in particular. Against this backdrop, this study aims to evaluate the impacts of renewable energy use on the ecological footprints in the context of four South Asian fossil fuel-dependent nations: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The econometric analysis involves the use of recently developed methods that account for cross-sectional dependency, slope heterogeneity, and structural break issues in the data. The results reveal that renewable energy consumption reduces the ecological footprints while nonrenewable energy use boosts the ecological footprints. The results also confirm the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve and pollution haven hypotheses for the panel of the South Asian nations. Besides, foreign direct investment inflows are found to degrade the environment while higher institutional quality improves it. Furthermore, unidirectional causalities are run from overall energy use, economic growth, and institutional quality to ecological footprints. At the same time, bidirectional associations between foreign direct investment inflows and ecological footprints are also ascertained. The overall findings highlight the pertinence of reducing fossil fuel-dependency, enhancing economic growth, restricting dirty foreign direct investment inflows, and improving institutional quality to ensure environmental sustainability across South Asia.

A combustion process in power plants, industry and transportation can cause air pollution problems, one of which is the pollutant of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) gas. One of the stages of air quality management is monitoring. In monitoring air quality, there are several factors that need to be considered because they can affect the measurement, there are meteorological factors. This study analyzes how temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind speed affect the measured NO2 concentration. NO2 and meteorological concentration data were taken at the same time at the location of the DKI-1 air quality monitoring station (Bundaran Hotel Indonesia, DKI Jakarta). Analysis of the relationship between measured NO2 concentrations with temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind speed was performed using multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis showed that there was a strong relationship between NO2 concentration and four meteorological factors. The R2 value indicates the effect of the four meteorological factors on NO2 concentrations is 38.3% and the remaining 61.7% is influenced by other factors not included in the measurements in this study.
