Does environmental policy stringency influence CO2 emissions in the Asia Pacific region? A nonlinear perspective
Environmental policy stringency (EPS) is widely adopted as the most practical option to tackle the menace of environmental degradation. Therefore, this study investigates the dynamic linkage between EPS and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the most polluted countries of the Asia Pacific Region for the period 1991–2021. For empirical analysis, we have relied on nonlinear panel ARDL methods. In the NARDL analysis, a positive shock in EPS has a significant negative effect on CO2, while a negative shock in EPS has a significant positive impact on CO2 in both the short and long run. Moreover, the growth of human capital and the rise in renewable energy consumption are crucial in improving environmental quality; however, the rise in the region’s economic prosperity makes the region more polluted in the long run. In light of these findings, our study emphasizes the critical role of policymakers in the Asia Pacific region in implementing and maintaining strict environmental policies to effectively control carbon emissions. These policies can complement other mitigation strategies, such as raising environmental awareness and promoting renewable energy consumption.
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.
