Anthropological responses to environmental challenges in SAARC nations: A comparative analysis

Chunyan Liu, Muneeb Ahmad and Ali Altalbe

PLOS ONE, 2024, vol. 19, issue 2, 1-15

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships and potential impacts of environmental pollutants, human resources, GDP, sustainable power sources, financial assets, and SAARC countries from 1995 to 2022. Board cointegration tests, D-H causality, cross-sectional reliance (CSD), Saville and Holdsworth Restricted (SHL), and the DSK Appraisal Strategy were among the logical techniques employed to discover long-term connections between these components. Results demonstrate that GDP growth, renewable energy sources (REC), and environmental pollution (ENP) all contribute to SAARC countries’ progress. However, future opportunities and HR are negatively impacted by increased ecological pollution. The results of the two-way causality test demonstrate a strong correlation between HR and future possibilities. Opportunities for the SAARC countries are closely related to the growth of total national output, the use of green electricity, and public support sources. Ideas for tackling future projects are presented in the paper’s conclusion. These include facilitating financial development, reducing ecological pollution, financing the progress of human resources, and promoting the use of sustainable power sources.
