Does Environmental Degradation and Renewable Energy Consumption Influence Health Outcomes? Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
Recently, health-related issues have been attributed to some environmental factors and practices in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). These factors have further increased the high mortality rate despite increased spending on health. This study investigates the impact of environmental degradation and renewable energy consumption on the health outcomes of the population in the region. The study used a panel of 45 SSA countries from 2000 to 2019 and employed the generalized method of moments (GMM) and pooled mean group (PMG) regression analysis system. The findings reveal that increased environmental degradation in the form of CO2 emissions exposes people to health hazards, thus reducing their life expectancy. Renewable energy consumption, on the other hand, is a major contributor to the increase in life expectancy. The study recommends adopting the appropriate energy mix to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energy.
期刊介绍:
Global Journal of Emerging Market Economies is a peer-reviewed journal. The aim of the journal is to provide an international platform for knowledge sharing, discussion and networking on the various aspects related to emerging market economies through publications of original research. It aims to make available basic reference material for policy-makers, business executives and researchers interested in issues of fundamental importance to the economic prospects and performance of emerging market economies. The topics for discussion are related to the following general categories: D. Microeconomics E. Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics F. International Economics G. Financial Economics H. Public Economics I. Health, Education, and Welfare J. Labor and Demographic Economics L. Industrial Organization O. Economic Development, Innovation, Technological Change, and Growth Q. Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics • Environmental and Ecological Economics R. Urban, Rural, Regional, Real Estate, and Transportation Economics Additionally, the journal would be most interested to publish topics related to Global Financial Crisis and the Impact on Emerging Market Economies Economic Development and Inclusive Growth Climate Change and Energy Infrastructure Development and Public Private Partnerships Capital Flows to and from Emerging Market Economies Regional Cooperation Trade and Investment and Development of National and Regional Financial Markets The Belt and Road Initiative.
