Impact of Renewable Energy and Globalization on Environmental Pollution in Asian Countries: A Review

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the impacts of globalization (GL), renewable energy (RE) natural resources (NR) and value-added agriculture (AG) on ecological footprints (EF) and CO2 emissions. For this research paper includes yearly data from 1990–2022 for four South Asian nations: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. These countries are most vulnerable to climate hazards and rapid economic transitions. The. Globalization and AG are contributing to environmental degradation in selected South Asian countries. Therefore, these countries need to exploit solar energy to its full capacity. Moreover, these countries need to explore more RE resources to reduce their dependence on non-RE sources. These countries can make their agricultural sectors sustainable by following efficient farming practices. Environmental awareness should be enhanced among the farmers. Farmers can use animal fertilizers and clean inputs in AG to achieve sustainable agricultural products. Overall, this work suggests that these countries can achieve a cleaner environment by adopting RE and by promoting efficient technologies through globalization.
