Abstract

International tourism is highly dependent on air travel, which enhances destination countries’ economic growth and living standards while causing environmental degradation. This study investigates the effect of air travel on environmental degradation in BRICS nations. The study used feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) to evaluate the environmental Kuznets curve using data spanning 1995 to 2018. The study finds evidence of N-shaped EKC in the economies of the BRICS nations. We also find a positive relationship between tourism, urbanization, and environmental degradation (as measured by CO₂ and SO₂ emissions from civil aviation) and a negative relationship between economic development and environmental degradation. To achieve sustainable growth and environmental protection and promote green technology, the BRICS governments should devise policies that address the aviation industry’s short- and long-term needs.

金砖国家航空旅行与环境恶化之间的联系：旅游业视角

国际旅游业高度依赖航空旅行，航空旅行提高了目的地国家的经济增长和生活水平，同时导致环境恶化。本研究调查了航空旅行对金砖国家环境退化的影响。该研究使用可行广义最小二乘法（FGLS），利用1995年至2018年的数据评估环境库兹涅茨曲线。这项研究在金砖国家的经济中发现了N型EKC的证据。我们还发现，旅游业、城市化和环境退化（以民航的二氧化碳和二氧化硫排放量衡量）之间存在正相关关系，而经济发展和环境退化之间存在负相关关系。为了实现可持续增长和环境保护，促进绿色技术，金砖国家政府应制定政策，满足航空业的短期和长期需求。

期刊介绍： The Chinese Journal of Population, Resources and Environment (CJPRE) is a peer-reviewed international academic journal that publishes original research in the fields of economic, population, resource, and environment studies as they relate to sustainable development. The journal aims to address and evaluate theoretical frameworks, capability building initiatives, strategic goals, ethical values, empirical research, methodologies, and techniques in the field. CJPRE began publication in 1992 and is sponsored by the Chinese Society for Sustainable Development (CSSD), the Research Center for Sustainable Development of Shandong Province, the Administrative Center for China's Agenda 21 (ACCA21), and Shandong Normal University. The Chinese title of the journal was inscribed by the former Chinese leader, Mr. Deng Xiaoping. Initially focused on China's advances in sustainable development, CJPRE now also highlights global developments from both developed and developing countries.
