The aspiration of study is to explore the financial development-carbon footprint nexus in One Belt and Road initiative (BRI) region utilizing the panel dataset from 1990-2017. The cross-sectional dependence tests and second-generation panel unit tests were applied to affirm the cross-section dependence and integration level. The panel regression estimators from the Driscoll-Kraay standard error method for robust estimators in the presence of cross-sectional dependence have been applied to compute the estimators concerning the financial development-carbon footprint nexus for One Belt and Road economies. The estimates infer that financial development, urban population, and FDI have an adverse effect on carbon footprint. Furthermore, economic growth and energy consumption pollute the environment by enhancing the carbon footprint. Based on findings, it infers that financial development is a potential instrument to keep the environment through financial reforms. The estimates signify that it is necessary to allocate resources for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy conservation projects in order to moderate environmental degradation.

In the past 40 years, the continuous strengthening of the greenhouse effect has led to a significant increase in the global average temperature. Although people's understanding of climate change has been strengthened, the world has not yet witnessed a significant decline in pollutant emissions; hence it is imperative to get to the root cause. This paper is based on the STIRPAT model framework and uses the panel data of G20 countries over the period 1999-2019 to examine the role of financial development on carbon emissions under good governance.

Since preceding several decades, the carbon emissions based standard Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) has been tested and supported by a plethora of studies in countries around the globe. The current study estimated the inward foreign direct investment (IFDI)-augmented EKCs for China's 27 provincial divisions employing the advanced econometric methodologies involving cross-sectional dependence, slope heterogeneity, and second generation-based estimation procedures. The study has further contributed through a modification to "Stochastic Influence by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology" (STIRPAT) in terms of including IFDI to the standard model.
