... It was argued (Brock & Taylor, 2005) that economic activities have less environmental impact when manufacturers use less polluting technologies in their processes. Some recent studies also tested Kuznets' hypothesis (Naqvi et al., 2023); in this paper, the researcher looks at 87 middle-income countries from 1990 to 2017 and see how FDI, GDP, natural resource depletion, urbanization, biomass energy consumption, and environmental impact all connected. Using the Augmented Mean Group and Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality test, we examined the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), the Renewable Energy, and the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH). ...

... Investing in green initiatives like eco-innovation, environmental technology, and waste discharge fees can enhance competitive advantage, reputation, and firm value, leading to increased revenues while maintaining environmental sustainability. (Hussain, et al., 2023). IJMRES 14(1) 2024, 92-110 Multiple studies have examined as a moderating and mediating variable in the link between CG and FP influence of working capital management (Shahid et al., 2020;Nawaz et al., 2021;Khan et al., 2021;Kamran et al., 2022). ...

... When countries are free to focus on producing and trading the goods and services in which they have a comparative advantage, they may do it more efficiently, at lower costs, and with less of an impact on the environment. Consequently, the environmental effect has been eliminated (Hussain et al., 2023). Foreign direct investment (FDI) has a crucial role in addressing environmental issues and clean energy (Hernández Soto, 2024), while competitiveness can be achieved through the indirect effects of increased foreign direct investment (Biryukova & Matiukhina, 2019). ...

... However, the current study outcome aligns with the findings of Danish Ulucak and Khan (2020), and they demonstrated that due to a significant rise in income level, the populace at the domestic level consumes energy-intensive products and causes biodiversity loss. Thus, at the initial stage of development activities, countries don't care for their green environmental and promote energy-intensive activities;consequently, such irresponsive behavior brings environmental stress.Similarly,Naqvi et al. (2023) summarized the key outcomes for 87 economies and tried to investigate the role of income on environmental degradation. However, they suggested that a significant rise in energy-intensive production and services activities brings long-term environmental deterioration. ...

... Challenges such as planting delays, improper distribution of herbicides and fertilizers, and suboptimal harvesting procedures plague numerous farms. The insufficiency of electricity and deficient agricultural mechanization are identified as major factors contributing to diminished output in farming operations [1,2]. ...

... It offers an alternative to non-renewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels and coal, that cause environmental degradation (Akar, 2016;Yu et al., 2022). Therefore, the transition to renewable energy can improve environmental quality by reducing CO 2 emissions (Jena et al., 2022;Shah et al., 2022). In addition to the direct links between tourism development and environmental degradation, this association still needs investigation by controlling other factors affecting CO 2 emissions. ...

... Felzer et al., 2005;Ghude et al., 2014;Chuwah et al., 2015), contributes to the formation of photochemical smog (e.g. Arbaugh et al., 2003;Osibanjo et al., 2021;Anwar et al., 2022) and damages materials like rubber (e.g. Chandrasekaran, 2017;Zheng et al., 2021). ...

... For instance, Asongu and Odhiambo (2019) and Bildirici (2022) argued that the role of human development in environmental sustainability (CO 2 emissions reduction) is not substantial in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan countries due to lack of political will and corruption. Besides, few studies demonstrated that income inequality acts as a barrier, impeding progress toward achieving environmental sustainability (Korkut Pata et al., 2022). For instance, Khan, Weili, Khan, and Han (2022), and Khan, Yahong, and Zeeshan (2022) conducted a global analysis and found that income inequality may lead to environmental degradation (increases in CO 2 emissions). ...

... The industrial sector's total BC emissions were 20.1 kt, with bricks production being the primary contributor responsible for 19.7 kt BC or 98.0% of the total emissions. In recent years, pollution from brick industries has garnered increased attention (Subhanullah et al., 2022;Rauf et al., 2022;Hussain et al., 2021;Khan et al., 2019), leading Pakistan's Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination to implement measures aimed at reducing emissions from new brick kilns that are still employing outdated technology. These efforts have focused on promoting the use of relatively more environmentally friendly zigzag kilns (ICIMOD, 2019). ...

... DFU sebagian besar dapat dicegah, [4], [5] melalui skrinning gangguan sensasi pada kaki. Deteksi dini risiko terjadinya ulkus dapat dilakukan oleh tenaga kesehatan, [6] namun alat skrinning tersebut belum tentu tersedia dan harus dilakukan oleh ahlinya. ...
