Abstract
The nexus between economic growth (EG) and carbon emission
has been examined extensively, specifically in consumption-based
CO2. However, the role of human capital, green energy, and sustainable economic growth in determining the carbon emission is
yet to be explored specifically from emerging economies. This
study aimed to examine the impact of human capital index, green
energy, EG in terms of GDP, and square of GDP on carbon emission for long-short run with the help of CS-ARDL. The data for
study variables was collected from 1995 to 2018. The study findings confirmed that there exists CSD, cointegration, and slope
heterogeneity among the study variables. In contrast, the output
through CS-ARDL indicated that the main reason for higher carbon emission in the targeted economies are economic growth
under long-short run estimation. Additionally, the role of green
energy and human capital index is also constructive in lowering
the environmental degradation for both long-run and short-run
estimation. Finally, some policy implications are also convassed at
the end of the research.
