Elongating the Role of Renewable Energy and Sustainable Foreign Direct Investment on Environmental Degradation

Climatic variations and GHG emissions are the most debated issues of the current age economically, socially, politically and environmentally. An internationally legally binding treaty on climate change, the “Paris Agreement” is followed by G-7 countries to maintain environmental sustainability with green development. The research investigates the relationship of GHG emissions with renewable energy (RE), foreign direct investment (FDI), total population (TP), and trade (TR). The time span of 20 years is used for analytical purposes covering the period from 2000 to 2019 by addressing the literary gap. The analytical procession found total population and trade increase GHG emissions because of its modern fundamental layers toxic human activities and polluted trade practices. The decreasing behavior toward GHG emissions has been determined by FDI and RE. The findings of this research have confirmed the long-run relationship among variables. They are evidence that the eco-innovative steps by G-7 countries significantly reduce GHG emissions directly or indirectly. Furthermore, the analytical outcomes indicate that innovative green development in renewable energy sector can reduce the GHG emissions pressure from this sector and contribute to net zero emissions. The extracting results have suggested policies for environmental practitioners and economic developers
