Abstract

In the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27), resource efficiency and improved ecological quality are imperious policy plans for emerging MINT countries. The susceptibility to climate adversities compels environmentalists and energy activists to authenticate the driving forces of resource consumption. Hence, this research evaluates the influence of agriculture value addition (AVA), financial development (FD) and digital trade on trade-adjusted material footprint (MF). It utilizes annual data between 2005 and 2022 and employs an augmented mean group estimator to address the inherent panel data issues. The estimated outcomes unveil that AVA and digital trade enhance resource sustainability, depicting a negative relationship with MF. FD is associated with higher MF; however, digital trade negatively moderated this relationship. This study highlights digital trade's role in neutralising the negative consequences of FD in MENA region. Alternative panel techniques verify these results and offer valuable possible implications.
