The prominence of technological innovation and renewable energy for the ecological sustainability in top SDGs nations: Insights from the load capacity factor

An environmental assessment through load capacity factor: The dynamic effects of technological cooperation grants and energy depletion in Pakistan

“…Conversely, the study's conclusions show that TCG promotes environmental sustainability in Pakistan and has a strong, positive relationship with LCF. The findings are in line with [95]. The positive relationship between TCG and LCF can be attributed to several reasons: First, the TCG provided much-needed financial support to improve energy infrastructure and enhance the capacity Moreover, the observed findings reveal that the long-term impact of IND on LCF is negative and significant.…”

“…The load capacity factor is determined by dividing biocapacity by ecological footprint and used as the dependent variable. In recent studies, some scholars have utilized the indicator load capacity factor as a proxy for environmental pollution [92][93][94][95]. The data for these variables were extracted from the Global Footprint Network [96] database.…”

The Impact of Agricultural Employment and Technological Innovation on the Environment: Evidence from BRICS Nations Considering a Novel Environmental Sustainability Indicator

“…There exist opposing perspectives that technical advancements have a role in degrading environmental sustainability. Jahanger et al [2] studied the nexus between technological innovation and environmental sustainability. Their findings indicate a negative correlation between the level of technological innovation and the LCF in the top SDG nations.…”

“…The sustainable growth of a country aims to meet present needs without endangering environmental sustainability for future generations [1]. However, one of the biggest problems in the world today is the continuous and growing degradation of the world's natural resources and its atmosphere, which impedes sustainable development both for developing and developed countries [2]. As the global economy expands, so does the demand for fossil fuels, the rate of woodland loss, and the number of manufacturing operations; all these factors contribute to the release of GHGs into the atmosphere, which comes with an overall rise in surface temperatures and other major environmental alterations [3].…”

“…The current study presents a number of contributions to the existing corpus of knowledge, as follows: (1) Rather than GHGs, CO 2 emissions, or EF, this study considered LCF as an environmental indicator to elucidate both the demand and supply sides as well consider both EF and biocapacity. (2) The current study addresses a gap in the existing literature by examining the influence of agricultural employment on BRICS environmental sustainability, especially considering the absence of previous studies on LCF and the paucity of studies considering agricultural employment. (3) This study aims to provide a more precise analysis of the mixed effects of natural resource rent, technological innovation, and renewable energy in shaping the environmental conditions of the BRICS nations.…”
