This research focuses on assessing how improving openness influences CO2 emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is based on 49 countries in SSA for the period 2000-2018 divided into: (i) 44 countries in SSA for the period 2000-2012; and (ii) 49 countries for the period 2006- 2018. Openness is measured...

A number of empirical studies have been carried out to assess the impact of sustainable development assistance (SDA) and aid on environmental quality in poor countries, but these studies have been characterized by weak theoretical anchor. It is against this background that this paper provides a...

Carbon emission is one of the major problems during energy consumption. Many countries are trying to reduce it with a focus on carbon neutrality. Bridging this gap, we considered energy consumption in the monopoly market. In this research, the CO2 emissions problem has been solved considering...

The environmental challenges that have arisen as a result of rapid economic growth have become a hindrance to social progress. This article examines the effects of energy consumption, urbanization, industrialization, economic development, and technological innovations on South Korea's greenhouse...

Energy consumption brought about by economic growth has aggravated carbon emissions and climate change, and technological innovation is an important measure for energy conservation and emission reduction to mitigate climate change. Using the data of Asian and European countries from 1996 to...

This book chapter seeks to identify ways in which urban land use is a driver of climate change in both the developed and developing worlds. Urban land use factors identified as substantially affecting climate change include: rapid population growth; rapid urbanization; population migrations...
