Cover Story: As the world grapples with the consequences of environmental degradation, South and East Asian countries continue to face similar significant challenges due to their reliance on coal as a primary energy source. With coal consumption on the rise, the region is becoming a hub of environmental challenges, posing a threat to sustainable development. In this paper, we explore whether the environmental Kuznets curve holds for coal consumption or not. The results indeed show that the EKC holds for coal consumption, and reducing coal consumption is not enough to achieve environmental sustainability. There also needs to be a diversion of foreign investment inflow to sustainable, environmentally friendly projects. Additionally, the results reveal that increasing the renewable energy share can foster a more prosperous and resilient future for the region. View this paper
