Rising greenhouse gas emissions is an important issue of the current time. India’s massive greenhouse gas emissions is ranked third globally. The escalating energy demand in the country has opened the gateway for further increase in emissions. Recent studies suggest strong nexus between energy consumption, economic growth, and carbon emissions. This study has the objective to empirically test the aforementioned interdependencies. The co-integration test and multivariate vector error correction model (VECM) are used for the analysis and the Granger Causality test is used to establish the direction of causality. The time-series data for the period of 1971–2011 is used for the analysis. The results of the study confirm strong co-integration between variables. The causality results show that economic growth exerts a causal influence on carbon emissions, energy consumption exerts a causal influence on economic growth, and carbon emissions exert a causal influence on economic growth. Based on the results, the study suggests a policy that focuses on energy conservation and gradual replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, which would be beneficial for the environment and the society.

The aim of this study is to examine the empirical cointegration, long-run and short-run dynamics and causal relationships between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in 14 Danube region countries over the period of 1990–2019. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing methodology was applied for each of the examined variables as a dependent variable. Limited by the length of the time series, we excluded two countries from the analysis and obtained valid results for the others for 26 of 36 ARDL models. The ARDL bounds reliably confirmed long-run cointegration between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Economic growth and energy consumption have a significant impact on carbon emissions in the long-run in all of these four countries; in the short-run, the impact of economic growth is significant in Austria. Likewise, when examining cointegration between energy consumption, carbon emissions, and economic growth in the short-run, a significant contribution of CO2 emissions on energy consumptions for seven countries was found as a result of nine valid models. The results contribute to the information base essential for making responsible and informed decisions by policymakers and other stakeholders in individual countries. Moreover, they can serve as a platform for mutual cooperation and cohesion among countries in this region.

With the highly praised development of low-carbon and implementation of western development strategy, the various industries of northwest faced great stress with how to weigh the economic growth and reduce carbon emissions. In this study, based on the data about energy consumption and GDP in the construction industry of five northwestern provinces, and estimates the carbon emissions of construction indirectly. Then combined withDecoupling Theoryanalysis the interacted impact among carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in the construction industry of five northwestern provinces .The results shows that the development of construction industry in provinces is still based on high energy consumption and high carbon emissions, but each impact degree of them are different. Finally, put some suggest improvements to reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions in the construction industry path of five northwestern provinces.

Many developing countries are acutely vulnerable to global climate changes. In Pakistan, carbon emissions are primarily contributed by the factor of energy production from oil, gas and coal. The objective of this study is to estimate the asymmetric impact of temperature, energy use, economic growth, water scarcity on CO2 emissions in Pakistan over their period of 1960–2016. Based on nonlinear bounds testing (NARDL) approach, it is confirmed that there is an asymmetric relationship between temperature and CO2 emission, while energy use, population growth and economic growth have a positive effect in the short run. In the long run, energy consumption and economic growth were found to increase emission, while a temperature decrease by 1 per cent leads to 5 per cent decrease in carbon emissions. Population and water availability also reduces emission in Pakistan. Further, the study also confirms the long-run relationship between the variables. The finding of the study noticeably supports the policy to increase renewable energy consumption.

This essay tends to probe into the decoupling relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions through structuring the decoupling analysis model. The results show that: In recent years, the decoupling relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions in Anhui province has improved. Through the research about some intermediate variables, we find that the change trend of energy consumption elastic elasticity of carbon emissions and the one of GDP elastic elasticity of carbon emissions are basically the same. Meanwhile, Anhui province is relatively backward in the energy-saving and emission reduction process, carbon emissions growth and energy consumption growth did not achieve effective decoupling, which reflects that this province still has some defects in the adjustment of energy structure, energy saving and emission reduction technology promotion policy etc.
