Although a number of studies have been conducted on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and the pollution halo hypothesis (PHH), few researchers have assessed the scope in the light of the BRICS— Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—nations. Therefore, the current research assesses the income-induced EKC as well as the role of technological innovation and renewable energy consumption utilizing a dataset stretching from 1990 to 2018. The present research utilized the novel method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) developed by Machado and Silva (2019) to assess these interrelationships. The empirical outcomes from the MMQR affirmed an inverted U-shaped interrelationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth across all quantiles (first to ninth) for the BRICS nations, thus confirming the presence of the EKC hypothesis. Furthermore, we affirmed the PHH, thus confirming the negative interrelationship between globalization and ecological footprint across all quantiles (first to ninth). Moreover, it was found that renewable energy use plays a vital role in curbing the emissions of CO2 across all quantiles (first to ninth), while no evidence of significant connection was established between technological innovation and ecological footprint across all quantiles. In addition, the Granger causality outcomes revealed a feedback causality between income and ecological footprint, while a unidirectional causality was established from globalization and renewable energy use to ecological footprint.

The Subject

In the search of sustainable process and products, ecofriendly policies have been developed over the years, aiming at reducing the environmental impacts as a step toward sustainability. Among the environmental impacts, alternatives to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions - GHG stand out due to the concerns with climate change. Then, the development and use of renewable resources become relevant. Considering that supply chains are intense in energy consumption and GHG emissions (since involves processes related to supply, production, transport, consumption), it becomes relevant to investigate if the management of sustainable supply chain are considering the renewable energies in their processes. Therefore, this paper aims at mapping the role of renewable energies in the context of sustainable supply chain, analyzing the literature published at Web of Science database - WoS about the subject. The main researchers, organizations, collaboration networks were presented, and the 21 most cited studies were mapped in this paper. The research was carried out with the papers published at WoS until 2019, using VantagePoint software to handle information. The findings show that the research about renewable energy in the context of sustainable supply chain has been growing, especially since 2010. Moreover, biomass, biofuels and photovoltaic energy were the most recurrent sources of renewable energy studied by most cited papers. However, the theme presented itself as new and that there are still potential to be explored.

The study investigates the role of information and communication technology (ICT) and renewable energy on environmental sustainability in sub-Saharan Africa. The system generalized method of moments (GMM) was employed to estimate data of 45 sub-Saharan countries that cover the 2008 -2016 period. Result reveals that increasing ICT penetration and renewable energy use reduce CO2 emissions and improves environmental sustainability. Economic growth and population growth also mitigate CO2 emissions while education and trade openness have a neutral impact. These findings imply that increasing penetration of ICT facilities and renewable energy in the region will promote inclusive environmental sustainability. The interactive estimation of ICT variables was further considered to determine net effects and the ICT threshold that is relevant for policy implication.
