Assessing the impact of geopolitical, economic, and institutional factors on China's environmental management in the Russian-Ukraine conflicting era.

In contemporary times, geopolitical risk, and natural resources prices are susceptible due to the Russian-Ukraine conflict. In the meantime, emerging economies are struggling to explore the factors that could reduce ecological challenges and enhance environmental management. This research aims to analyze several economic, environmental, political, and institutional variables to ascertain their influence on greenhouse gas emissions in China.

Economic and non-economic drivers of tourism: bidirectional causality of tourism and environment for South Asian economies.

This study explores the relationship between economic growth, tourism, and the environment in South Asian economies. It finds that factors such as GDP, human capital, globalization, and financial risk are interconnected and have long-term associations in these countries. The study employs various methodologies and tests to analyze the data.

Spatial green growth in China: exploring the positive role of investment in the treatment of industrial pollution.

The industrial sector of China is critical to the country's economic growth. On the other side, industrialisation has resulted in a high rate of emissions, pushing China to spend extensively on industrial pollution remediation. As a result, this study looks at the relationship between investment completed in the treatment of industrial pollution and economic development.

Revisiting the nexus between fiscal decentralization and environment: evidence from fiscally decentralized economies.

Fiscal decentralization is a topic of great importance, especially in the context of environmental sustainability. Numerous research studies have been conducted on fiscal decentralization providing conflicting results, and therefore, the current study fills the gap by examining the effect of fiscal decentralization on environmental quality in the presence of environment-related technological innovation, renewable energy consumption, international trade, and economic growth taking seven fiscally decentralized advanced OECD countries as a case study. Using data from 1990 to 2018, we employed the Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) to test the spatial spillover effect of fiscal decentralization on the environment in seven fiscally decentralized countries.

Role of financial stability, technological innovation, and renewable energy in achieving sustainable development goals in BRICS countries.

Global warming is the buzzword these days, where researchers and policymakers are working hard to figure out its causes and how we can achieve sustainable development goals. Several research studies have been conducted to determine the key factors that influence environmental degradation. However, studies have ignored the role of financial institutions in achieving sustainable development goals.

Does environmental taxes achieve the carbon neutrality target of G7 economies? Evaluating the importance of environmental R&D.

The present study highlights the importance of environmental taxes and R&D in achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. Post Paris conference (COP21), countries set domestic targets to achieve zero carbon or carbon neutrality. Several studies have been conducted to explore the factors affecting environmental quality.

China carbon neutrality target: Revisiting FDI-trade-innovation nexus with carbon emissions.

Since the Paris Agreement, countries around the globe have been striving to achieve their carbon neutrality targets. However, because China has one of the largest economies in the world, to achieve its targeted carbon neutrality, the roles of foreign direct investment (FDI), technological innovation (TI), and trade are crucial. Therefore, this study aims to introduce the level of trade, renewable energy consumption (REC), and FDI from the years 1995-2017 as new determinants in promoting a sustainable environment in China.

Does financial stability and renewable energy promote sustainable environment in G-7 Countries? The role of income and international trade.

Financial stability is of great importance especially in the context of achieving sustainable environment. The objective of this study is to fill the research gap in this area by introducing financial stability, international trade, renewable energy, and income as novel determinants of consumption-based carbon emissions. The present study is based on G-7 economies, and the time period is from 1990 to 2018.

Does air pollution upsurge in megacities after Covid-19 lockdown? A spatial approach.

The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has a high spreading and fatality rate. To control the rapid spreading of the COVID-19 virus, the government of India imposed lockdown policies, which creates a unique opportunity to analyze the impact of lockdown on air quality in the two most populous cities of India, i.e.

Does technological innovation limit trade-adjusted carbon emissions?

The objective of this analysis is to examine the impact of international trade and technological innovation over the 1990-2018 period on the G7 economy's consumption-based carbon emissions. The report explores international trade by separately considering imports and exports. The results indicate that the data cross-sections are dependent and that the panel has slope heterogeneity.
