摘      要：The impact of hydro energy production,economic complexity,urbanization,technological innovation and financial development on environmental sustainability between 1995 and 2017 is examined for a panel of thirteen Asian economies using two environmental proxies—their ecological footprint and CO_(2)*** non-parametric Driscoll-Kraay standard error method and the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test are applied to the *** findings show that hydro energy production and technological innovation have a significant negative impact on the environment,thus promoting environmental *** complexity significantly lowers environmental sustainability while the non-linear effect of economic complexity favors environmental sustainability;this confirms the existence of an economic-complexity-based inverted-U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve ***,urbanization and financial development significantly decrease environmental *** results of our study confirm the feedback causality between hydro energy production and carbon dioxide *** recommend expansionary policies regarding hydro energy production that are beneficial for substituting fossil fuel *** paves a path towards environmental sustainability in this era of global boiling.
