Sustainable Environmental Management: Assessing the Interplay of Climate Change, Socio-Economic Factors and Ecosystem Vitality at the National Level
Abstract
This study explores the intricate relationships between climate change vulnerability, renewable energy adoption, economic growth dynamics, population density, environmental expenditures, and regulatory quality, examining their collective impact on biodiversity and ecosystem vitality. Employing dynamic panel data estimates, our research underscores that escalating climate change vulnerability exerts a detrimental influence on both biodiversity and ecosystem vitality, underscoring the urgent imperative to address climate vulnerabilities. Furthermore, we reveal a non-linear relationship between economic growth and biodiversity/ecosystem vitality, emphasizing the need for balanced development to avoid negative consequences on biodiversity. High population density emerges as a negative factor affecting biodiversity and ecosystem vitality, while government investments in environmental protection and robust regulatory frameworks play pivotal roles in enhancing both. The study offers vital policy insights, advocating for sustainable environmental management strategies that prioritize climate resilience, responsible energy transitions, and well-structured policies to safeguard our natural ecosystems.
