Abstract

This research delves into the impacts of different energy sources (renewable and nonrenewable), natural resource revenues, financial development, and economic growth on ecological well-being within the BRICS economies, spanning from 1990 to 2018. The collected data undergoes rigorous preliminary examinations, including tests for normality, descriptive statistics, Westerlund cointegration, and a cross-sectional dependence test (CSD). The empirical analyses apply the CS-ARDL method over the 1990–2018 period across BRICS nations. The empirical results uncover several key insights. Economic growth, financial development, and nonrenewable energy sources are found to have detrimental effects on ecological quality, while renewable energy sources exhibit a positive influence. Additionally, the significance of the load capacity factor curve is confirmed, shedding light on the relationship between economic indicators and ecological outcomes. This study, conducted within the BRICS framework, offers recommendations for policymakers in these nations. It suggests that prioritizing sustainable energy sources and enacting energy policy reforms should be at the forefront of their agenda to improve ecological quality.
