Driving low-carbon mechanisms through smart investments in renewable resources and green finance initiatives among G20 nations.

In light of the escalating concerns regarding climate change and environmental decline, major nations are actively exploring strategies to mitigate environmental harm and achieve future sustainability. The surge in economic expansion in developed economies is linked to an increase in CO emissions. Consequently, in their pursuit of carbon-neutral policies, these countries are increasingly turning towards renewable energy as a means to enhance resource conservation and efficiency.

Role of alternative and nuclear energy in stimulating environmental sustainability: impact of government expenditures.

Environmental sustainability is fundamental to the survival of our planet and ourselves, as polluted air, water, and land severely affect communities and society to thrive and damage the quality of life. This study examined the role of alternative and nuclear energy in stimulating the environment sustainably while mediating the function of government expenditure and economic growth in the top three highest CO emitter countries. We apply advanced econometric methodologies for empirical analysis from 1981 to 2016 and find long-run relationships among the variables that suggest general government final consumption expenditure and economic growth are positively related to CO emissions.

Renewable energy, economic growth, human capital, and CO emission: an empirical analysis.

This study contributes to the literature by estimating the interaction effects of economic growth and renewable energy consumption on carbon dioxide (CO) emissions with the inclusion of human capital. The interaction between economic growth and renewable energy consumption suggests how income level affects energy consumption and CO emissions. The study applies three-stage least square and ridge regression methods with Pakistani data from 1980 to 2014.

Investigating the determinants of human development index in Pakistan: an empirical analysis.

In this modern era, the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) cannot be ignored for sustainable human development. However, Pakistan has experienced a considerable gap between ICT economic growth and human development. In this regard, this study has modeled the relationship between ICT, economic growth, and the human development index (HDI) considering urbanization, foreign direct investment (FDI), and trade for the period from 1990 to 2014.

Natural resources, globalization, and economic growth: evidence from Pakistan.

Globalization is increasingly a driving force behind vibrant economies around the world. This paper discusses the impact of globalization and natural resources on economic growth from 1970 to 2014 in Pakistan. Based on an auto-regressive distributive lag (ARDL) model, the paper infers that globalization promotes economic growth in Pakistan.

Analyzing the role of information and telecommunication technology in human development: panel data analysis.

Economic growth in modern-day world get attention primarily through innovation and higher productivity, which places technology and knowledge at the core of the issue on economic policy. In this regard, information and communication technology (ICT) has a unique place for offering the potential to improve efficiency, promote the sharing of knowledge, and improve innovation leading to an overall change in social and human development processes around the globe. This study examines the role of ICT and economic growth on human development.

Economic growth, natural resources, and ecological footprints: evidence from Pakistan.

The ecological footprint, a measure of human demand on earth's ecosystems, represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area that is necessary to supply the resources a human population consumes and to mitigate associated waste. This study estimates the impact of economic growth and natural resources on Pakistan's ecological footprint using an autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model for long-run estimation. The empirical findings indicate that natural resources have a positive effect on an ecological footprint that deteriorates environmental quality and that natural resources help to support the environmental Kuznets hypothesis (EKC).

Modeling the impact of economic growth and terrorism on the human development index: collecting evidence from Pakistan.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between economic growth, terrorism, and human development index time spanning 1990-2016 for Pakistan. An empirical result from the autoregressive distributive lag model (ARDL) recommends that there exists an insignificant relationship between electric power consumption and human development process against our expectation. Besides, more interestingly, the findings show that economic growth does not contribute to human development in Pakistan.
