Abstract: The current study focuses on describing global environmental issues and the initiatives of higher authorities to resolve them. Therefore, the current research considers emerging economies to demonstrate the vital environmental factors from 2005 to 2022. However, the second-generation estimation strategy was utilized to investigate the long-run impact of natural resources, information & communication technology (ICT), research & development expenditures (R&D), human capital, openness, and financial development on carbon emissions. This empirical research utilizes a series of novel estimators to investigate the study objectives. In light of the study's findings, ICT, R&D, and human capital are all important factors contributing to environmental quality. However, natural resources, openness, and financial development increase emissions. Under the investigated outcomes, this study proposes some green policies to attain a sustainable environment shortly.
