extended abstract 1. introduction the important roles played by green space are the social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of sustainable development. thus, the quality and quantity of green space should be appropriate to the physical size of the city and the needs of society and also it should be developed according to the ecological conditions of the city and its future developm...

The current study investigates the causality relationship between financial development and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in Bahrain by adopting time series data from 1980–2018. vector error correction model (VECM) is employed as an appropriate order to analyse data. While augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test was used detect stationary variables. However, domestic per capita has been a proxy of e...

This paper demonstrates that institutional factors influence the subjective well-being of individuals differently in rich versus poor countries. A lower level of corruption, a more democratic government and better civil rights increase the well-being of individuals in rich countries, whereas an increase in per capita income has no impact. On the contrary, in poor countries the extent of corrupt...

This paper analyzes urban population’s and affluence’s (GDP per capita’s) influence on environmental impact in developed and developing countries by taking as its starting point the STIRPAT framework. In addition to considering environmental impacts particularly influenced by population and affluence (carbon emissions from transport and residential electricity consumption), the paper determines...

Since global warming has become a serious threat and GHG emissions are one of the main causes it, analyzing interactions between variables related to climate change gained importance. This study investigates nexus per capita CO2 emissions, real GDP or income, natural gas consumption, urban population, trade openness by examining validity environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for panel se...

The relationship between per capita municipal water use (PCMWU) and gross domestic product (PCGDP) (purchasing power parity, constant 2011 US$) is statistically analysed for each country in the world. results indicate that PCMWU will increase with rising PCGDP at beginning, which then decrease when reaches a certain level. This trend follows rules of Water Use Kuznets Curve, an inverted U-shape...

Convergence in cross country per capita carbon emission rates is an important concept in the climate change debate. This paper provides an empirical analysis of emissions per capita convergence. This analysis is crucial to the assessment of projection models that generate convergence in emission per capita rates and to the assessment of policy proposals that advocate imposing convergence in emi...

With the increasing of copper consumption, the in-use stock of copper tends to increase. This paper used the “average use life method” to quantify the amount of copper in-use stock, and calculated the average age of in-use stock. It was indicated that the total in-use stock had an overall smooth trends, and reached its peak in 2007 was about 68.9 Mt (million tons), in addition, in-use stock per...
