The importance of enhancing environmental quality to promote economic development by improving societal well-being and sustainable development on quality of environment have attracted significant attention from researchers in recent years. The focus has been on creating pleasing environments and establishing economic value for such quality improvements in both developed and developing nations. This goes beyond designing the most suitable regulatory instruments; it also involves ensuring the quality of supporting regulatory institutions and their capacity. Although it's evident that human activities significantly impact on health of the environment by emitting pollution, decision-makers find it challenging to grasp the effects of environmental quality and make decisions regarding it due to limited information about the value of environmental conditions (i.e. amenity services and pollution) and their interactions. This paper reviews various studies on the economic valuation of environmental conditions and pollution, the relationship between environmental pollution and amenity services, and the factors influencing the improvement of environmental conditions (including socio-economic variables). The evidence from these studies indicates a causal link between pollution levels in the environment and environmental amenities, and consequently, economic performance.

Empirics on the relationship between financial development and environmental sustainability remain ambiguous in the literature. The threshold level at which institutional quality facilitates the relationship between financial development and environmental sustainability in respect to the Nigerian economy is still an open question. This study investigates the threshold level of institutional quality in the link between financial development and environmental sustainability in Nigeria from 1986 to 2020. Times series threshold autoregression technique was applied to determine the threshold level of institutional quality. The result of the threshold revealed that 4.32 is the threshold level of institutional quality in Nigeria. Below the threshold level financial development is not stimulated to improve environmental sustainability but above the threshold level institutional quality stimulates financial development to improve environmental sustainability. This study suggests that institutional credibility and transparency should be enhanced beyond the threshold level to effect the needed change in increasing environmental preservation in Nigeria.

Over the course of the previous three decades, Vietnam has seen a phase of economic growth, resulting in the influx of foreign direct investment (FDI). However, it is essential to note that there was an extensive rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions throughout this period. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of FDI and CO2 emissions on Vietnam's economic growth, utilizing time series data from 1990 to 2021. The stationarity of the data was assessed using unit root tests, while an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) procedure was utilized to examine the long- and short-run associations between the components. Based on the research outcomes, it is seen that a marginal rise of one percent in both FDI and CO2 emissions is associated with a corresponding long-term gain of 1.36 percent and 1.11 percent in gross domestic product (GDP). Furthermore, in the short term, these increments yield an increase of 0.61 percent and 0.29 percent in GDP. The conclusions of this study will provide valuable insights for policymakers in crafting policies that effectively promote sustainable development. Specifically, these policies would aim to strike a balance between capital growth derived from foreign investments and economic expansion, while concurrently mitigating carbon emissions.

The current waste management paradigm leads to a circular economic approach. To implement it, it is necessary to know the potential for resource recovery from waste, including organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). This research aims to investigate the potential for resource recovery from OFMSW generated in Buleleng Regency, Bali Province, Indonesia. Five technologies were assessed for their potential to transform OFMSW into resources, namely anaerobic decomposition (AD), densification and drying to produce solid fuel, composting, processing with black soldier fly (BSF), and processing for eco-enzymes production. The potential for resource recovery is estimated using a simple linear relationship mathematical model using data available from the literature and secondary data of waste generation in Buleleng Regency. The study estimated 37,489.08 tons OFMSW is generated in Buleleng in 2023. The estimate shows that revenue potential from densification and drying about 9,336 million IDR, followe by composting about 2,471 million IDR, anaerobic digestion about 1,939 million IDR, BSF about 145 million IDR, and eco-enzyme about 13 million IDR. Finally, by estimating the quantity of resources available in OFMSW and their potential market value, it can be taken into consideration in planning and managing the circularity of OFMSW.

This study examines the asymmetric roles of financial innovation in the money demand function in Nigeria using annual data over the period 1981-2020. This is with a view to providing insight into how changes in financial innovation have contributed to the level and stability of the money demand function. The study questions the fundamental assumption of the existing literature that growing trends in financial innovation have symmetric or linear effects on the country’s money demand. Hence, it adopts the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) with bounds testing procedure together with the cumulative sum of recursive as well as the cumulative sum of squares of recursive residuals tests. Results show that the link between financial innovation and money demand is asymmetric and that of the two partial sum variables, only positive changes in financial innovation have significant effects with the sign being positive in both the short run and long run. This shows that assumptions of linearity and no asymmetric structure reported in extant studies for financial innovation are somewhat misleading. Findings also confirm the stability of demand for money in Nigeria on account of the introduction of asymmetric effects of financial innovation. The study concludes that the financial innovation-money demand nexus is asymmetric and that there is stability in the country’s money demand function once asymmetry or nonlinearity is captured in the nexus. Therefore, it recommends the need for monetary authorities to pay attention to positive changes in financial innovation when policies on money demand are formulated for the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness and reliability of monetary policy as a tool for stabilising the economy.

The primary objective in investment had been no doubt to overcome the inflation pressure within the economy over time to avoid losing out purchasing power as well as increasing the dollar value through investing and hence creating higher wealth for the individuals. The benchmark for the rising inflation rate in Malaysia had been concerning for the investors which triggered the motivation of the study to explore the study on mutual fund investment return in comparison against the inflation rate for the country. With this, the quantitative analysis had been introduced with the correlation analysis and regression analysis to test the significance of the relationship between the mutual fund investment return and the inflation rate in Malaysia. The results had shown existence of negative correlation between the two variables but remained not significant from inflation rate to influence the investment return of mutual fund. In addition, the comparative analysis conducted had been evidenced to show greater return on average for the past 11 years of study to surpass the inflation rate in Malaysia. With the higher return on investment for mutual as negative correlation against the inflation growth, it is recommended for the investors to invest in mutual fund especially in the time of recession in the country.

In the pursuit of a harmonious coexistence between economic growth and environmental sustainability, this paper delves into the intricate realm of "Mathematical Modeling of Dynamic Interactions in Green Energy Transition for Economic and Environmental Sustainability." Building upon the foundational contributions of Polimeni, Mayumi, Giampietro, and Alcott (2008), we navigate a complex mathematical landscape where equations articulate the interplay of energy consumption (E), economic production (P), and carbon emissions (C). As the equations come to life, they illuminate pathways that offer theoretical insights into the intricate dynamics at play. These pathways, shaped by nuanced parameters, provide a theoretical foundation to decipher the complex interactions between renewable technologies, economic growth, and environmental balance. Guided by the perspectives of Edenhofer et al. (2014) and Grubler (1998), we transcend equations to explore the strategic realm where policies and strategies find their genesis. The theoretical insights unearthed through this exploration serve as guiding lights for policymakers and stakeholders. Armed with this theoretical compass, policymakers navigate the complexities of green energy transition, crafting interventions that resonate with the rhythm of sustainable progress. These insights enrich the spectrum of strategies aimed at fostering economic prosperity without compromising the delicate equilibrium of the environment. Within the symphony of design, theory metamorphoses into actionable strategies, intricately woven into the fabric of growth and sustainability. This paper underscores the pivotal role of theoretical frameworks in shaping effective policies and strategies, providing a roadmap for a future where equilibrium and progress dance in synchrony.

Tropical blue carbon ecosystems encompass several components such as mangroves, seaweed, and seagrass, which play a crucial role in delivering a diverse array of services including regulation, provisioning, cultural, and support functions to a significant human population. The preservation and rehabilitation of tropical marine ecosystems hold significant importance for society due to the adverse consequences associated with their degradation, which include the impairment of crucial services such as coastal protection and the provision of seafood resources. Nonetheless, a significant knowledge deficit persists about the comprehensive capabilities of blue carbon ecosystems in terms of mitigating climate change and delivering socio-economic advantages. Hence, the primary objective of this study is to critically examine the economic significance of ecosystem services rendered by blue carbon habitats, along with the associated obstacles, governance mechanisms, and conservation approaches employed to address climate change mitigation through these ecosystems. The integration of blue carbon ecosystems conservation, protection, and restoration should be prioritized within mitigation and carbon stock conservation plans across local, national, and global scales. This article reviews various forms of governance, such as market-based instruments, public investment, partnership initiatives, and community-based management, that have the potential for future implementation. In a broader context, safeguarding tropical marine habitats is an ecological necessity that warrants recognition as a potential avenue for generating more cash and alleviating national debts across various countries. This review paper presents a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge regarding severely degraded tropical blue carbon ecosystems, with the aim of offering a structured framework that can be utilized by stakeholders to facilitate their efforts in restoring these ecosystems.

Urban solid waste management is a crucial challenge, involving treatment, recycling, and energy conversion for environmental and public health protection. This research explores the management of municipal solid waste in the city of Rudrapur, located in the Himalayan foothills, in the midst of rapid urbanization and industrial development. Rudrapur is confronted with an increasing waste production as a consequence of its expanding population. The study examines waste distribution, evaluates current practices, and proposes effective waste management solutions for local governance. Using secondary data, interviews, and fieldwork, the study assesses waste generation, collection, transportation, processing, and disposal. The waste, comprising biodegradables, recyclables, and non-recyclables, presents challenges like inadequate equipment, unregulated dumping, and inefficiencies. Composite scores reveal disparities in waste management among city wards, uncovering infrastructure and practice gaps. Recommendations include source segregation, expanded composting, improved waste processing, and public awareness. Modern techniques like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing can enhance waste management strategies. The study underscores the urgency of addressing improper waste disposal's environmental and health impacts. By tackling deficiencies and embracing innovation, Rudrapur can transition to a sustainable solid waste management system, fostering a cleaner and healthier urban environment.

The purpose of the study is targeted to explore and investigate the potential performance of the stock investment in Malaysia in overcoming the inflation of the Malaysian economy. The primary goal of the investment is motivated to overcome the inflation rate to avoid losing the purchasing power. This leads to the problem statement for the study to investigate the performance of the KLSE market index growth against the inflation rate in Malaysia. The methodology of the research had focus in the application using past ten years of data including the range from 2013 to 2022 to compare the growth of the inflation against the KLSE market index. The findings had provided the sufficient evidence to showed that the inflation rate in average had exceed the KLSE market index growth reflecting that the investment in overall Malaysian stock is not favourable to overcome the increasing inflation in the country.
