DOI: 10.1007/S11356-022-20391-Y
Abstract: For a sustainable development and ecological integrity, it is of worth importance to monitor land use/ land cover (LULC) changes and related land-atmosphere fluxes. To serve this purpose, we have used moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrieved-enhanced vegetation index (EVI), MERRA-2 re-analysis surface heat fluxes (latent heat flux, sensible heat flux and specific humidity), TRMM rainfall data, and OMI retrieved aerosol index (AI) over Pakistan during 2000 to 2021. High EVI (0.66) is observed in May 2021 as compared to May 2000 over Muzaffarabad, Srinagar, north and northwest of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, east of Punjab and along the Indus River in Sindh. The highest increase in vegetative area is observed in Baluchistan (~ 366%), followed by Manavadar (~ 60%), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (~ 41%), Sindh (~ 37%), and Punjab (~ 20%) whereas Gilgit-Baltistan and Jammu and Kashmir show reduction in vegetative area by 21% and 11% respectively.

Can Financial Institutional Deepening and Renewable Energy Consumption Lower CO2 Emissions in G-10 Countries: Fresh Evidence from Advanced Methodologies
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 03-05-2022
Abstract: To tackle the challenges associated with global warming and climate change, several countries set their targets to lower carbon emissions in accordance with COP21 (Paris Conference). Even though studies highlighted the different aspects that contribute to environmental degradation, there still exists the scarcity of adequate research that emphasizes the environmental implications of financial institutional deepening, renewable energy consumption (REC), and technology innovations. Therefore, this study investigated the significance of financial institutional deepening, REC, gross domestic product (GDP), imports, exports, and technology innovations to achieve sustainability in G-10 countries, namely The Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan, Belgium, Canada, and Italy from 1990 to 2020. The results obtained from cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) and the dynamic common correlated effects mean group (DCCEMG) models reveal that financial institutional deepening and imports positively impact CO2 emissions (CO2e) both in the long and short run. A 1% increase in financial institutional deepening and import will increase CO2e by 0.5403% and 0.2942% in the short run and 0.2980% and 0.1479% in the long run levels, respectively. Contrary to this, REC, GDP, exports, and technology innovations improve environmental quality in these countries. The Dumitrescu & Hurlin causality test shows bidirectional causality between imports and CO2e, GDP and CO2e, exports and CO2e, and financial institutional deepening and CO2e, compared to unidirectional causality from technology innovations to CO2e and from REC to CO2e. Apart from this, the outcomes suggest that policymakers in G-10 countries have to consider their financial markets and firms to revise their current environmental policies.

Abstract: Air pollution can be attributed to the reduction in visibility, less agricultural activity, more health issues, and long-term destruction to infrastructure. This paper aimed to examine the validity of association among the Particulate matter (PM
Analyzing the role of meteorological parameters and CO2 emissions towards crop production: empirical evidence from South Asian countries

DOI: 10.1007/S11356-022-18567-7
Abstract: It is need of the hour to investigate the impacts of climate parameters on agricultural production in a developing region of South Asia. Therefore, this work attempts to explore the climatic indicators on agricultural production for selected South Asian countries over the annual data of 1961-2016. This study estimates the impacts of rainfall, temperature, rural population, land under cereal production, and CO
Financial Institutional and Market Deepening, and Environmental Quality Nexus: A Case Study in G-11 Economies Using CS-ARDL
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 22-09-2022
Abstract: This study presents a new insight into the dynamic relationship between financial institutional deepening (FID), financial deepening, financial market deepening (FMD), foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth (GDP), population, and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) in the G-11 economies by employing a cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) approach during 1990–2019. The outcomes from the CS-ARDL and dynamic common correlated effects mean group (DCCEMG) models shows that financial deepening, GDP, FDI, and population degraded environmental quality both in the short run and the long run. Contrary to this, FID and FMD improves environmental quality in these countries. The government should work to maximize financial institutions (access, depth, efficiency) and financial markets (access, depth, efficiency) to reduce the CO2e. A strong positive and in-phase correlation of CO2e with economic growth and population is observed for G-11 countries. These results suggest policy makers should further improve financial institutions by creating opportunities for their populations. Moreover, the governments of G-11 countries should revise their foreign direct investment policies and attention should be given to import efficient means of energy production.
