Abstract

The BRICS countries are the group of developing countries that cause the highest carbon emissions and therefore the actions of these countries are important for global carbon mitigation. The fact that Russia, Brazil, China and India are four of the ten countries with the largest forest areas makes the investigation of the impact of forest areas on carbon reduction in the BRICS countries the focus of this study. In this context, this study explores the influence of forest load capacity factor (FCLF), structural change (STC) and income on carbon emissions in BRICS countries from 2000 to 2022. To this end, the study applies augmented mean group (AMG) and regularized common correlated effect (rCCE) approaches. The outcomes document that income increases carbon emissions, while STC and FCLF contribute to decarbonization. In view of these results, the governments of the BRICS countries should support an environmental structural change and take sustainable measures to increase the quality of forest areas.

结构变化和森林负荷能力系数是否有助于金砖国家减少碳排放？

金砖国家是碳排放量最高的发展中国家集团，因此这些国家的行动对全球碳减排至关重要。在森林面积最大的十个国家中，俄罗斯、巴西、中国和印度占了四个，这使得森林面积对金砖国家碳减排影响的调查成为本研究的重点。在此背景下，本研究探讨了2000 - 2022年金砖国家森林负荷能力因子（FCLF）、结构变化（STC）和收入对碳排放的影响。为此，本研究采用了增强平均群（AMG）和正则化共同相关效应（rCCE）方法。研究结果表明，收入增加了碳排放，而STC和FCLF有助于脱碳。鉴于上述成果，金砖国家政府应支持环境结构性改革，采取可持续措施提高森林质量。

期刊介绍： Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health. It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes. International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals. Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements. This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
