The environmental performance concern exists globally in spite of various efforts at state levels.
This study is an effort to identify the key factors for environmental performance in 34-Asian countries
using data period of 2006-2017. The most updated panel study techniques are employed. The existence
of cross-sectional dependence (CD) is confirmed by CD tests. The results of the second-generation
panel unit root test lead to apply the Westerlund panel cointegration test, which confirms the long- run
co integration in the panel countries. Augmented Granger Causality test with error correction term is
applied for long- run association. A bi-directional causality between EPI and GDP while uni-directional
causality between EPI and forest area is founded. A feedback hypothesis between environmental
performance and renewable energy while conservation hypothesis between EPI and food production
index holds. The results of FMOLS show that renewable energy and forest area improve while food
production index and fertilizer use reduce the environmental performance significantly in Asian
countries. The introduction of eco-innovations in production technologies, eco-friendly methods in
agriculture sector and forest area enhancement is suggested for improving environmental performance
in the region.
