Abstract

A sharp increase in economic and human development has multiplied the carbon intensity due to which there is a significant need of effective strategies in order to curb carbon emissions. Thus, the present study aims to examine the effective of green finance, eco-innovation, renewable energy output (REO), renewable energy consumption (REC), and carbon taxes on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in BRICS countries in the time of 2001–2020. Cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS ARDL) is used to test the connection among the variables. Empirical estimations of CS-ARDL approach validates the effectiveness of green finance, eco-innovation, REO, REC, carbon taxes, and industrialization as the relationship of these factors with carbon emissions is negative in nature in BRICS economies. Based on the evidences, the study recommends the formulation of environmentally friendly practices and advancement in green finances to mitigate carbon emissions.
