This study proposes a novel method for valuing environmental assets and estimating Green GDP using Laplace series and partial integration. The method is based on the concept of environmental valuation and aims to provide a more accurate and comprehensive measure of economic growth that takes into account the value of natural resources and ecosystem services. The study begins by providing an overview of the key concepts and methods related to Laplace series and partial integration. It then explains the steps involved in applying the method to estimate Green GDP and presents the results obtained through the application of the proposed method. A comparison with existing methods is also provided, followed by a summary of the key findings and their implications for policy-making and investment decisions. The study concludes with suggestions for future research to further explore the potential of the proposed method and its impact on sustainable development. Overall, the study contributes to the existing literature on environmental valuation and provides a valuable tool for policymakers and investors to make more informed decisions that promote sustainable and equitable development.

This study explored renewable energy facility and green building practices for improved archives preservation in public libraries in Rivers state. Two objectives, composed of research questions and hypotheses, were the basis for this study. A descriptive survey design was used for the study, with a target population of 514 library staff from both Rivers State Library Board (RSLB) and Jubilee Library Port Harcourt (JLP). With the help of Taro Yamane's sample size determination formula, 399 sample members were chosen using both stratified and random sampling techniques (227 staff from RSLB and 172 from JLP). The data collection instrument used was a self-made questionnaire titled ‘Renewable Energy and Green Building for Public Library Archives Preservation’; its face- and content-validity was approved by three experts. Cronbach Alpha reliability estimation yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.78 for this instrument. Mean and Standard Deviation were employed to answer the research questions, while z-test was used to conduct the inferential statistics. The findings revealed that Rivers state libraries can preserve archives with renewable energy and green building practices, such as solar power, passive ventilation, native landscaping, water-efficient fixtures and regulated humidity. Based on the findings, it can be concluded and recommended that incorporating renewable energy into green building practices can significantly preserve archives in public libraries. More so, public libraries in Rivers state should collaborate with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, batteries, wind turbines) to improve archives preservation.

Bangladesh receives the second-most foreign direct investment in South Asia. Over the past 30 years, Bangladesh's economy has expanded tremendously because of increased investment from several foreign countries. Although it can be beneficial in certain ways including the generation of new jobs, the improvement of infrastructure, and the equalization of economic rewards across the population; foreign direct investment has unintended consequences, such as ecological damage. In light of this, it is worth exploring the effects of foreign direct investment on sustainable development in Bangladesh. Using the most up-to-date annual data between 1990 and 2019, this study investigated the evidence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve and the Pollution Haven Hypothesis in Bangladesh. To assess the effects of economic growth, foreign direct investment, energy use, and trade on carbon dioxide emissions, this research employed the autoregressive distributed lag method. The empirical results indicated that the country has an inverted U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve and the adverse impact of foreign direct investment on the environment confirmed the validity of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis in Bangladesh. The results paint a bleak picture, sounding an alarm for policymakers to pay closer attention to the ways in which development leads to increased carbon emissions and how multinational companies operating within the country worsen the situation. That's why it's important to subject foreign investors to stringent environmental regulations. In addition, the nation's economic expansion should be guided by sustainable development goals.

New Zealand has set a target of net zero emissions by 2050, and this study looks into the role that economic growth, renewable energy use, technological innovation, and forests could play in getting them there. The Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) technique was used to analyze time series data from 1990 to 2021. According to the results of the DOLS estimation, a one-percentage-point increase in economic growth is associated with a 0.24% increase in CO2 emissions. Furthermore, increasing the use of renewable energy by 1% is related with a reduction in CO2 emissions of 0.81 percent over the long run, as indicated by the coefficient of renewable energy use being negative and statistically significant. The calculated long-run coefficient of technical innovation is negative and statistically significant, suggesting that a 1% increase in technological innovation results in a 0.02% reduction in CO2 emissions. The long-run coefficient of forest area is notably negative and significant, which means that increasing forest area by 1% reduces CO2 emissions by 4.78%. The empirical results show that as New Zealand's economy grows, so do its CO2 emissions, but that the country may get closer to its goal of carbon neutrality through the growing use of renewable energy, technological innovation, and sustainable forest management. Alternative estimators, such as fully modified least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR), do not significantly affect the estimated results. In order for New Zealand to reach its goal of net zero emissions by 2050, this article offers policy ideas centered on a low-carbon economy, the promotion of the use of renewable energy sources, the financing of technical progress, and sustainable forest management.

Energy is a challenging and emerging problem in the world. Most South Asian countries have limited means but they cannot utilize a major part of their resources due to the high cost of exploration. However, few countries in this region have sufficient capacity and abundant energy resources to overcome the issues related to energy, but due to several reasons, they are not going to play an effective role in this field. As we know South Asian economies have limited resources and facing energy crises due to these reasons, we conduct research on this region as well. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between economic growth (GDP), financial development (FD), and energy consumption (ENC) for South Asian countries for the period 1991-2020. For the empirical purpose, panel co-integration approaches are applied. However, the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) long-run result shows that the impact of financial development (FD) and economic growth (GDP) on energy consumption (ENC) is positive and significant. Based on the Vector Error Correction Methodology (VECM) Granger causality results, Conservation Hypothesis holds between the economic growth (GDP) and energy consumption (ENC) in the South Asian Region both in the short-run as well as in the long run. Moreover, the results also indicate that two-way causality exists between financial development (FD) and energy consumption.

Green Human Resource Management (henceforth, green HRM) has gained worldwide recognition nowadays. It brings together human capital for the welfare and sustainability of the organization. Green HRM undertook eco-friendly human resource practices, promoting higher efficiency, lowering costs, and better relationships among employees. It also helps the organization reduce CO2 emissions by resorting to e-filing, online job advertising, online conferencing, online interview, online advertisement so on and so forth. This study, therefore, aims to examine the manager’s perception about Green Human Resource Management and its practices in the corporate sector of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (henceforth, KP), Pakistan. Data has been collected from the corporate sector of KP using a questionnaire. The sample size consists of 64 managers. A total of 24 questions have been asked from the managers of KP’s corporate sector about green HRM. The questionnaire was divided into three different categories. The data analysis shows that on average 63 percent of the managers do green practices and 38 percent do not, 64 percent of managers do eco-friendly practices in their industries while 53 percent of managers do not, and 42 percent of managers are working to expand the sphere of green HRM practices but 57 percent of managers do not work as such to expand green HRM practices in their organization. The study suggests that organizations need to start giving training on Environmental Management, designing waste management policy, using public transport, employees’ hiring and firing based on green actions, using software to go green, and incentives to employees for maintaining a green work environment.

Concerns about climate change, emission reduction, and environmental sustainability have become crucial in accomplishing long-term development goals. The present study explored the dynamic effects of financial development, renewable energy utilization, technological innovation, economic growth, and urbanization on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in India. This investigation quantifies short- and long-run dynamics using time series data from 1990 to 2020 and an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The outcomes from ARDL short- and long-run analysis revealed a positive and significant effect of financial development, economic growth, and urbanization on CO2 emissions in India. In contrast, both the short- and long-term coefficients for renewable energy utilization and technological innovation are negative and statistically significant, suggesting that expanding these variables will lead to lower CO2 emissions. The findings were validated by employing the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), and Canonical Cointegration Regression (CCR) methods. This research provides novel findings that add to the current literature and may be of special relevance to policymakers in the country because of the role that the financial system plays in environmental concerns.

Conventionally, organizations tend to rely on financial performance and profit capacity to flow shareholder wealth. Currently, in adding to environmental and financial results, it had also developed a vital effort.
