Against the background of the global active pursuit of carbon neutrality, this paper uses the DY spillover index method to analyze the spillover network effects between carbon, fossil energy and financial markets. The research results show that the spillover effects between these three markets change over time, with an average spillover index of 25.30%, showing a significant mutual influence.

Rapid population growth and agricultural development are generating a considerable amount of effluents, which poses threats to the quality of rural water resources as well as sanitary conditions. However, with a range of rural wastewater treatment (WT) technologies available, one major problem facing the practitioners is which to choose as the most favorable option suited to specific areas. In this study, a novel decision-making framework is proposed to evaluate and select the optimal alternative in rural areas of Xi'an within multiple consecutive time periods.

The inadequate reuse and recycle of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) has been identified as a major issue, as it implies the depletion of natural aggregates, massive occupation of landfill and inefficiency of construction industry. However, a holistic view involving economic, technical and comprehensive dimensions has rarely been adopted for C&DW utilization evaluation against both qualitative and quantitative criteria. In this study, we propose a framework in a heterogeneous group decision-making environment to solve the C&DW utilization mode selection problem by integrating the Choquet integral and the elimination and choice translating reality (ELECTRE) method with two data forms, that is, interval-valued hesitant fuzzy numbers and real numbers.

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.

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.
