This paper investigates the relationship between energy intensity, economic freedom, and carbon emissions. The problem of environmental degradation, economic freedom, and energy use is mainly studied for developed economies; however, this study has selected forty-one Asia-Pacific economies representing all income groups of the World Bank’s classification. In the presence of income, economic freedom plays a dual role for environment and energy: direct impact and as moderating factor impact. Here, we empirically test for a panel of 41 Asia-Pacific countries using the autoregressive distributed lag approach. Our findings suggest, although there is no bidirectional causality between all the variables, the long-run estimates of economic freedom for economy and environment are positive. The results imply for substantial structural reforms with a favorable economic and regulatory environment for Asia-Pacific countries. Our empirical analysis also implies that GDP growth levels for Asia-Pacific countries are becoming increasingly dependent on economic freedom and energy intensity. The results underline the critical role played directly and indirectly by economic freedom in creating an atmosphere that promotes research and development activities to help reduce energy intensity shortly to solve environmental problems.

In the digital era, technology innovation and adoption trigger economic growth and enhance CO2 emissions through productivity, which places it in the mainstream policy debate. For BRICS economies, this paper uses the first method proposed in the literature to quantify their information and communication technology (ICT) and innovatively links each country to their information technology adoption rate, as a surrogate indicator for measuring information and communication technology. Environmental Kuznets curve evidence is also examined, using technology innovation, technology adoption, and trade openness as the control variables for sustainable development. The results show that two out of three technology innovation instruments, fixed telephone, and broadband subscriptions increase CO2 emissions. Simultaneously, mobile cellular subscriptions have a lowering effect on CO2 emission in BRICS. The technology adoption indicators, high-technology exports, and electric power consumption also cause an upsurge in CO2 emission. Moreover, trade openness also enriches the level of CO2 emission in the BRICS regions. There is a need to devise technology innovation and adoption policies to better use technology and to ensure a green environment.
