Corrigendum: G-20 economies and their environmental commitments: Fresh analysis based on energy consumption and economic growth

Fresh analysis based on energy consumption and economic growth by Li P, Akhter MJ, Aljarba A, Akeel H and Khoj H (2022). The corrected sentence appears below: “Japan had the largest share of FDI, followed by the United States and Germany, while these countries have low CO2 emissions which is possibly due to employing renewable and green (environment friendly) energy sources to produce electricity instead of using fossil fuel.” The corrected sentence appears below: “The main goal was to examine the influence of economic growth on carbon emissions and to verify the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis presented by Kuznets (1955) which explains the quadratic relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation and can be expressed by inverted U-shape curve.” The corrected sentence appears below: “The existing literature has a gap related to checking the quadratic effects of GDP on CO2 emissions, therefore this study fills in this gap by exploring the impact of economic growth, energy consumption, FDI, and the population on carbon emissions using the panel data of G-20 economies over the period of 1995–2018.”
