...Abednego Osei; Andrew Osei Agyemang; Prince Kofi Boadi Purpose This study investigates the ecological footprint in the MENA region, focusing on the roles of renewable energy adoption and environmental regulations in promoting environmental sustainability. The research addresses the critical need...

... This research uses the ecological footprint index to represent environmental damage, diverting from past studies that have extensively used carbon emission. The data of the European Union nations during the time 1990 to 2019 is utilized in data analysis. The contemporary method of data analysis, the Methods...

... footprint reduction, and waste minimization into their business operations (Khan et al., 2022). Supporting this, Destek and Sinha (2020) find that higher renewable energy consumption correlates with lower ecological footprints in 24 OECD economies. Nathaniel et al. (2021) focus...

.... This testifies that the rate of growth of the Indian economy surpasses the rate of growth in ecological footprint (EF), indicating a relative reduction in the intensity of environmental impact per unit of economic growth. Research limitations/implications The empirical findings of our study suggest...

...Minhaj Ali; Dervis Kirikkaleli Purpose In order to achieve sustainable development objectives, safeguard the ecosystem, combat global warming and preserve biodiversity for a more sustainable and secure future, the ecological footprint (EF) must be reduced. Therefore, embracing holistic methods...

... for 28 African nations. Energy poverty is measured using two proxies-access to clean energy and access to electricity, while the environment is gauged using ecological footprint. Findings The regression outcomes show that access to clean energy and electricity negatively impacts the ecological...

...) on the ecological footprint. Further, it explores the moderating role of green innovation on the nexus between FDI and ecological footprint. Design/methodology/approach The study uses the Driscoll–Kraay (DK) standard error panel regression technique to examine the long-run elasticities amongst the variables...

...Malika Neifar; Amira Ghorbel; Kawthar Bouaziz Purpose This study attempts to come in help for Morocco by investigating rigorously the linkage between environmental degradation, measured by ecological footprint (EF), and the gross domestic product growth (EG), the human capital (HC) index...

..., on the ecological footprint (EF) in four ASEAN countries by using time span data extending from 1972 to 2018. Design/methodology/approach The stationarity of the variables was first demonstrated by using a quantile autoregression unit root test. Then the cointegration relationship among quantiles was verified...

...Rajveer Kaur Ritu; Amanpreet Kaur Purpose The research is geared towards studying the impact of “GDP per capita (GDP)”, “energy consumption (EC)”, “human capital (HC)” and “trade openness (TO)” on India's ecological footprint (EF) from 1997–1998 to 2019–2020. Design/methodology/approach...

... mostly used emissions of major greenhouse gasses as a measure of environmental quality, the present study uses a broad measure of environmental quality called ecological footprint (EFP). Financial development is measured using a robust proxy recently introduced by International Monetary Fund (IMF...

... shocks of energy and urbanization exert asymmetric impacts on ecological footprint. Furthermore, the results could not validate the EKC hypothesis for India. Practical implications The outcome of the study suggests designing an environmental policy which considers the nonlinearity of the investigated...

... the effect of eco-innovation on environmental degradation proxied by ecological footprint. Besides, it controls economic growth, remittance inflows, trade openness and total energy consumption in the environmental degradation function.
