Machinery import, R&D spillover, and energy efficiency
The gap in demand and supply of energy across Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries has increased energy insecurity in the region. Therefore, power outages have become pervasive, causing unemployment and a decline in production output. Among the several energy-saving factors identified in the literature across developing economies, technological spillover driven by trade openness appears to be a prominent factor in improving energy efficiency. Thus…

Market mechanisms and their role in sustainable food security
Climate change is likely to worsen Iran's food security system if no domestic adaptation or mitigation options are implemented. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of market mechanisms on food security in Iran under climate change. To achieve this, we develop an integrated approach using Statistical Down-Scaling Model (SDSM), Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP), and spatial equilibrium multi-regional model (SEM). This ap…
Impact of Urbanization and Expansion of Forest Investment to Mitigate CO2 Emissions in China
Forests are considered the key factor in controlling climate change and extreme climatic events due to their natural role in carbon abatement. However, twenty-first-century economic development is characterized by intensive resource exploitation, energy intensity, population, and urbanization, and hence it is affecting the natural forest habitat. The persistent deforestation and land degradation with limited sustainable forest management and its …
Global adaptation readiness and income mitigate sectoral climate change vulnerabilities
Climate change has become a global burden, requiring strong institutional quality and willingness to mitigate future impacts. Though emissions are transboundary and have the tendency of spreading from high emitting countries to low emitting countries, regional exposure, sensitivity, and adaptation readiness determine the extent of climate effects. The existing literature focuses on immediate drivers and damages of emission effects, failing to acc…
Association of household fuel with acute respiratory infection (ARI) under-five years children in Bangladesh
In developing countries, acute respiratory infections (ARIs) cause a significant number of deaths among children. According to Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), about 25% of the deaths in children under-five years are caused by ARI in Bangladesh every year. Low-income families frequently rely on wood, coal, and animal excrement for cooking. However, it is unclear whether using alternative fuels offers a health benefit over solid fu…

The nCovid-19 and financial stress in the USA
Since its first report in the USA on 13 January 2020, the novel coronavirus (nCOVID-19) pandemic like in other previous epicentres in India, Brazil, China, Italy, Spain, UK, and France has until now hampered economic activities and financial markets. To offer one of the first empirical insights into the economic/financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the USA, this study utilized the daily frequency data for the period 25 Februar…
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on waste management
The containment of the spread of COVID-19 pandemic and limitations on commercial activities, mobility and manufacturing sector have significantly affected waste management. Waste management is critical to human development and health outcomes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The invaluable service provided by the waste management sector ensures that the unusual heaps of waste that poses health risks and escalate the spread of COVID-19 is…
Global assessment of environment, health and economic impact of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19)
The institution of social distancing and punitive measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 through human-to-human transmission has environmental, health and economic impact. While the global pandemic has led to the enhancement of the health system and decline of emissions, economic development appears deteriorating. Here, we present the global environmental, health and economic dimension of the effect of COVID-19 using qualitative and empirical…
How Covid ‐19 pandemic may hamper sustainable economic development
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported as a cluster of pneumonia in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of China in December 2019. This was eventually identified to be severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cov-2) infectious disease with clinical symptoms of dry cough, fever, tiredness, pneumonia, and respiratory disorder that can lead to death in severe cases (Sarkodie & Owusu, 2020a). The World Health Organization (WHO…
Do dependence on fossil fuels and corruption spur ecological footprint
Corruption, a benchmark for institutional quality plays a critical role in achieving sustainable development, especially in developing countries. The nexus between corruption and economics is widely discussed in economic literature, however, the nexus between corruption and environmental degradation has received less attention. Here, we investigate the relationship between corruption and environmental degradation by accounting for income, urbaniz…
Electricity access, human development index, governance and income inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Consistent with the Sustainable Development Goal 7 of ensuring access to clean and modern energy technologies, this study examined the nexus between access to electricity, human development index, political system environment, income level, and income inequality. We employed a nonparametric regression technique with Driscoll–Kraay standard errors from 1990 to 2017 in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study revealed that income inequality has a negative eff…
Mitigating degradation and emissions in China
China's carbon-embedded growth trajectory is gradually becoming a burden to environmental sustainability, hence, requires much attention. The complexity of human capital attributed emissions coupled with fossil fuel inclined energy utilization for industrialization underscores the failure of China to meet its mitigation target. We developed a policy-driven conceptual tool based on disaggregate energy utilization, human capital, trade, income leve…
Global effect of urban sprawl, industrialization, trade and economic development on carbon dioxide emissions
Significant progress has been made towards mitigating climate change and its impacts across countries. However, the transboundary effect of CO 2 emissions means that excluding the actions and inactions of certain countries and territories that escalate emissions is alarming. On this note, we examined the heterogeneous contribution of immediate and underlying drivers of emissions across 206 countries and territories for the period spanning 1960–20…
Another look at the relationship between energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and economic growth in South Africa
Dynamic impact of trade policy, economic growth, fertility rate, renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on ecological footprint in Europe
Climate change mitigation has become the central theme for many policy initiatives, as such, the European Union (EU) member countries are working assiduously to achieve the emission targets. To provide policy direction in achieving the emission targets, this study investigated the drivers essential to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals in regards to reducing environmental pollution in EU member countries. A balanced panel of 16-EU countr…
