We apply an augmented dynamic ARDL simulation framework and spectral causality tests to a composite climate change score built from eight environmental indicators. Long-run estimates show that a 1 % rise in resource extraction increases the climate score by 0.02 %, while green innovation cuts it by 0.16 % and hydroelectricity by 0.03 %. Short-run responses are directionally consistent: −0.12 % for green innovation and −0.02 % for hydroelectricity. Economic growth and digitalization aggravate climate pressures over time. Robustness diagnostics (alternative specifications and parameter stability checks) affirm these core relationships. Spectral causality reveals that resource extraction, green innovation, and economic growth drive climate outcomes at medium and long horizons, underscoring dynamic feedbacks often missed in single-factor studies. These findings broaden evidence on integrated technology–resource–energy pathways in emerging economies.

The results reveal that connectedness is time-varying and intensifies significantly during periods of financial turmoil, such as the COVID-19 epidemic. Short-term spillovers dominate, suggesting rapid dissemination of shocks. The connectedness structure is also asymmetric, with stronger spillovers in bearish phases. G7 stock indices emerge as consistent net transmitters of volatility, while clean energy assets function as net receivers during bearish phases, offering diversification benefits and serving as safe-haven assets. In contrast, oil assets shift from net receivers to net transmitters over longer horizons. Portfolio analysis reveals that although oil assets offer stronger hedging effectiveness, clean energy assets outperform in terms of risk-adjusted returns and serve as effective volatility buffers. Such benefits reinforce their role in sustainable and resilient portfolio construction.

Utilizing a newly constructed dataset encompassing 29 OECD countries over the period 2014–2019, the study integrates indicators of gender, income, and wealth inequality with data on emissions and resource use. The findings reveal that increasing concentrations of wealth and income pose significant barriers to achieving gender equality, with substantial environmental consequences. While aggregate models may not consistently reflect this relationship, evidence from specific countries highlights the self-reinforcing nature of gender inequality.
