Abstract

Escalations in economic development and the concomitant upsurge in social globalization (SG) in the largest economies have enhanced the utilization of fossil fuels, which in turn has stimulated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Given that reducing global warming is one of the essential means to disrupt climate change and attain sustainable development, this study examines the interlinkages between SG, energy transition (ENTR), international tourism (ITU), and CO2 emissions. As environmental issues are widespread in the largest economies, this investigation analyzed the data from the 10 largest economies using the Method of Moments Quantiles Regression (MM‐QR) from 1995 to 2020. The study found that ENTR plays a significant role in decreasing emissions and promoting environmental sustainability. Alongside this, increasing social globalization also curbs CO2 emissions and facilitates environmental sustainability. Apart from this, the findings demonstrate a progressively increasing contribution of ITU and economic growth to enhancing environmental degradation. Furthermore, results indicated that carbon emissions are not influenced by reductions in political risks in the member nations. Finally, policies to support environmental sustainability are discussed.

调查社会全球化、能源转型、旅游业和环境质量之间的关系：量化回归的证据

最大经济体的经济发展和随之而来的社会全球化（SG）高潮提高了化石燃料的利用率，这反过来又刺激了二氧化碳（CO2）的排放。鉴于减少全球变暖是应对气候变化和实现可持续发展的重要手段之一，本研究探讨了社会全球化、能源转型（ENTR）、国际旅游业（ITU）和二氧化碳排放之间的相互联系。由于环境问题在最大的经济体中普遍存在，本研究使用矩量回归法（MM-QR）分析了 10 个最大经济体从 1995 年到 2020 年的数据。研究发现，ENTR 在减少排放和促进环境可持续性方面发挥了重要作用。与此同时，社会全球化的发展也抑制了二氧化碳的排放，促进了环境的可持续发展。除此之外，研究结果表明，国际电信联盟和经济增长对加剧环境退化的贡献逐渐增大。此外，研究结果表明，碳排放不受成员国政治风险降低的影响。最后，讨论了支持环境可持续性的政策。

期刊介绍： Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from experience at the local, national, and global levels are encouraged. The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and must be relevant to policy-making. Criteria for selection of submitted articles include: 1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in current knowledge being addressed by the article; 2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects; 3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews; purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
