ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the role of the environmental Kuznets curve in the post-COVID-19 era in reducing climate change in developing economies. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all areas of socio-economic life around the world. Its impact concerns not only the health system and the health of the population but also the economy. The pandemic has resulted in restrictions and limitations on movement and travel, covering both domestic and international tourism, which raises the question of whether having these restrictions imposed on tourist activities also caused an environmental impact. Our research provides useful information to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) in improving COVID-19 reduction and boosting economic growth. However, despite these financial stabilization rules in a large economy, environment and economic growth issues in several developing economies have remained persistent over the years, and these issues need attention and seem difficult to resolve. This chapter potentially contributes to the existing literature by providing some important information on the use of some underpinnings equipped with empirical pieces of evidence focused on economic development. We think such important information could guide regulators to address green policy, especially in the developing world.
