European Circular Economy Policy-Making in Sustainability and Resource Management Development
This study analyzed the development of circular economy policy across EU countries using circularity indicators, finding that high circularity scores do not necessarily correlate with lower environmental impact. The EU as a whole consumes the majority of global materials and generates 43% of emissions, highlighting gaps between circularity metrics and actual sustainability.
Analyzing the linkage among CO2 emissions, economic growth, tourism, and energy consumption in the Asian economies
Researchers analyzed the long-run relationships between economic growth, tourism, energy use, and CO2 emissions in Asian economies from 1995–2017, finding evidence for the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis and that tourism significantly contributes to environmental degradation, with a coefficient of 0.132 linking tourism growth to increased carbon emissions across the region.
FDI, Trade, and Finance: Catalysts for Green Growth in ASEAN-5
Researchers applied fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimation to investigate how foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial development affect green economic growth across ASEAN-5 countries from 2010 to 2021. Results showed that FDI and financial development have positive effects on green growth while trade openness has a negative impact, with policy implications for promoting environmentally responsible investment and stricter trade-related environmental regulations.
Critical environmental management accounting practices influencing service delivery of growing cities in a developing economy: a review and conceptual framework
