Abstract Since the inception of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Next 11 (N11) countries are facing difficulties in attaining the SDG objectives, as maintaining the environmental quality has been a challenge for them. In this study, we have revisited the technology policies of these countries, and in doing so, we have tried to address the problem of environmental degradation, while addressing the issues of sustained economic growth, clean and affordable energy, and quality education. In this pursuit, we have designed two indices for environmental degradation and technological advancement, and then analyzed the association between them following the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. The empirical analysis has been done by IPAT framework, and by using bootstrapped quantile regression and rolling window heterogeneous panel casualty tests, over a period of 1990–2017. Following the results obtained from the analysis, we have tried to address the objectives of SDG 13, SDG 4, SDG 8, SDG 9, SDG 7, and SDG 10.

• The asymmetric effect of public private partnership investment on transport CO2 emission in China: Evidence from quantile ARDL approach (2020, methodology): “…carbon emission is used as the dependent variable (following Yang et al., 2013), while the independent variables are economic growth (following Destek and Sinha, 2020), urbanization (following Sinha et al., 2017), and renewable energy consumption (following Sinha et al., 2018).”
• Revisiting the role of tourism and globalization in environmental degradation in China: Fresh insights from the quantile ARDL approach (2020, background): “A large number of studies have examined the connection between economic growth and greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, and the ecological footprint (Appiah, 2018; Salahuddin et al., 2018; Destek and Sinha, 2020).”
• Assessing the impacts of ageing and natural resource extraction on carbon emissions: A proposed policy framework for European economies (2021, background): “Furthermore, recent literature establishes that low-carbon technologies delay the scale effect and the appearance of technical obsolescence (Álvarez et al. 2017; Destek and Sinha 2020).”
• Renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption, trade and CO2 emissions in high emitter countries: does the income level matter? (2020, background): “On the other hand, due to weak environmental standards, poor quality technology transfer from other countries with low standards may produce a huge amount of pollution (Dogan and Seker 2016b; Sinha, Sengupta, and Alvarado 2020).”
