Unpacking the finance-energy-environment nexus: Can Africa sustain agricultural productivity amid energy poverty and environmental degradation
Achieving resilient and sustainable agricultural productivity is essential for food security, economic transformation and rural livelihoods across Africa. This study estimated the role of energy poverty, financial development and environmental degradation in shaping agricultural productivity across 34 sub-Saharan African countries between 2005 and 2020. In spite of the growing interest on individual drivers, no research has jointly assessed these…
Pathways to environmental sustainability: Exploring the role of FinTech, natural resources and globalization in North Africa
In recent years, financial technology (FinTech), natural resources, and globalization have gained prominence as key factors influencing environmental sustainability. However, there is a lack of research on their impact on the Load Capacity Factor (LCF) within the framework of the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypothesis, particularly in the North African region. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the heterogeneous effects of FinTech, natural r…
After the Johannesburg II Declaration, What Next for Ecological Sustainability in BRICS ? Perspectives on Green Innovations and Green Transitions
Advancing ecological sustainability, a major focus of the SDGs, necessitates evaluating the influence of green energy, sustainable technology, and resource utilization on ecological load capacity factors—an area that has remained underexplored in existing research. Also, the LCF method, which elucidates the unique features of the supply and demand dynamics in the natural environment, is still not used by BRICS environmental modelers. This study e…
Policy Pathways to Environmental Sustainability: Integrating Green Growth, ICT and Resource Endowment in Emerging Economies
Amid accelerating digital transformation and the global pursuit of sustainability, understanding how technology, resource use and green growth (GG) interact to shape environmental outcomes has become increasingly vital. This study applies Hansen's threshold regression covering the period 1990–2023 to capture nonlinear and regime‐dependent dynamics within an extended STIRPAT framework. The results reveal that population and economic growth intensi…
Climate change resilient strategies for greener Africa: The perspectives of energy efficiency and eco-complexities
The study explore climate change resilient strategies for greener Africa • Feasible generalized least square (FGLS) and panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) are used. • Validity of U-shaped curve in the relationship Affluence and CO2 emission. • Energy efficiency and eco-complexities are investigated within the KAYA identity framework • Adoption of modern manufacturing and economic transformations should be pursued for SSA The far-reaching effe…
Balancing the scales: Does public debt and energy poverty mitigate or exacerbate ecological distortions in Nigeria
Amid Nigeria's economic growth and energy challenges, the escalating public debt (PB) levels and persistent energy poverty (EP) raise critical questions about their potential impacts on the environment. Given the potential conflict among economic development, EP alleviation and ecological conservation, it becomes pertinent to understand whether increased PB and efforts to address EP inadvertently contribute to or alleviate ecological imbalances w…
Energy poverty, environmental degradation and agricultural productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa
Agricultural productivity remains pivotal to the sustenance of the economies and livelihoods of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. Given the emerging threat of energy and environmental uncertainties globally, this study makes a foray into understanding the link among energy poverty, environmental degradation and agricultural productivity in 35 SSA nations in particular, and the nature of their impacts across the sub-region constituents namely; t…
Funding the green transition: Governance quality, public debt, and renewable energy consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa
Pollution, governance, and women's work: Examining African female labour force participation in the face of environmental pollution and governance quality puzzles
