“…Causal relationship analysis among CO 2 emissions, ECG, and FDI for 54 nations from 1990 to 2011 revealed that bidirectional causation exists between ECG, FDI inflows, and FDI and CO 2 in the selected nations' panel estimations [58]. Investigations concerning the connection linking FDI and governance revealed a plethora of resources essential to implementing FDI policies [27]. Minimal focus is geared toward host nations' governance for foreign investment policy implementation [27].…”

“…Investigations concerning the connection linking FDI and governance revealed a plethora of resources essential to implementing FDI policies [27]. Minimal focus is geared toward host nations' governance for foreign investment policy implementation [27]. An investigation in sub-Saharan African countries demonstrated that various aspects of governance contribute to the major attraction of FDI [59,60].…”

“…Moreover, political stability and the fight against corruption invariably favor regionalism. In reality, conformance to groups of well-selected governments would facilitate a stable and sound regulatory framework and macroeconomic policies that motivate investors [27]. According to Ederington et al [80], the rule of law supports environmental protection and attracts FDI and trade.…”

“…Thus, researchers have applied several indicators in measuring governance functions in FDI inflows, economic prosperity, and CO 2 emissions in diverse jurisdictions. This study employs governance (GOV) indicators comprising governance effectiveness, political stability, the rule of law, regulatory quality, the voice of accountability, and control of corruption for analysis [27][28][29]. According to the above development, it is evident that researchers have not paid great attention to the functions of governance in successfully implementing decarbonization policies that ensure zero emissions from FDI.…”

“…In most countries, institutional governance quality is the premise for determining the quality of the environment [24][25][26]. These dimensions of governance are multifaceted: political stability (POLS), the voice of accountability (VA), regulatory quality (REQ), the rule of law (RULE), control of corruption (CC), and governance effectiveness (GOVE) [27][28][29]. The impact of these elements of governance concerning the environment varies.…”

The environmental repercussions of extensive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on the environment are crucial for policymakers and scholars. The repercussions of and connection between economic growth (ECG), tourism (TOUR), and foreign direct investment (FDI) on CO2 emission mitigation have been measured and argued from empirical and theoretical perspectives by scholars. Notwithstanding, the extant body of knowledge has failed to incorporate and investigate the function of governance in decarbonizing tourism activities and FDI from CO2 emissions to attain a healthy and quality environment in Africa. Hence, this current research investigates governance’s role in the reduction processes of CO2 emissions grounded in environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) conceptual assumptions for panel data spanning 2000 through 2020 for 27 African countries. This research utilized the Westerlund panel cointegration approach for the investigation of the cointegration of the selected variables. This study applied the Driscoll–Kraay regression approach for the long-term estimation. In addition, the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and the pooled mean group (PMG) were used for robustness checks. The findings of this research indicated that the governance (GOV) indicators employed have a statistically significant effect on the CO2 emission reduction. Besides, this study found that the appreciation of the income of the nations gives credence to the formation of the EKC theory and contributes to the decline in CO2 emissions within the selected African nations. The findings revealed that tourism, FDI, ECG, and GOV are positive and significant factors leading to increased CO2 emissions in Africa. Furthermore, the results showed that effective governance and control of FDI inflows and tourism activities can support decarbonization. These findings suggest the merits of governance in ensuring effective decarbonization policies of the environment, and policy suggestions are accordingly put forward.

This study aims to synthesize knowledge on the interconnections between the rule of law and environmental sustainability by reviewing existing literature across various contexts. The topic is timely and highly relevant, particularly in the context of climate change, global environmental challenges, and ongoing discourse about the role of the rule of law in promoting sustainable development. We utilized the PRISMA framework for literature search and selection, organizing it into two main themes: one investigating the direct effects of the rule of law on environmental policies and regulations, while another examining its mediated role related to financial development, foreign direct investment, trade openness, equitable resource distribution, human development, and innovation's influence on environmental quality. This review underscores the significance of clear frameworks, fair accountability mechanisms, and stakeholder engagement in preventing institutional collapse and ensuring effective environmental sustainability. A major gap identified in the existing literature is the limited exploration of specific components of both concepts, such as fundamental rights, the justice system, biodiversity, and waste management. These areas present avenues for future research. This review offers insights for policymakers to advance global environmental objectives through a better understanding of the role played by the rule of law in promoting environmental sustainability.

The interplay between nature and human activities is important for both human well‐being and the health of our planet. The rule of law is central to maintaining harmony between environmental needs and human endeavors. Since the early 1990s, particularly after the Earth Summit in 1992, there has been an increased interest in the relationship between environmental sustainability and legal frameworks. This has led to a significant expansion in the field, encompassing a wide array of research. Despite the field's growth, there is still a lack of review papers that explore its knowledge structure and evolution. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature by employing the Visualization of Similarities (VOS) viewer software. We identify key thematic areas within the field, highlight influential authors and journals, and specify major contributing countries and institutions. The findings show that the initial focus was on limited themes, which later gave way to an acknowledgment of the multidimensional nature of the subject. Certain themes, such as environmental emissions and governance, retain prominence. Among the focal themes, sustainability, climate change, and democracy are particularly influential in shaping the field's trajectory. Despite this evolution, certain aspects of both concepts, such as waste and water management, fundamental rights and justice system, and the importance of socio‐economic factors, remain underrepresented. This study offers valuable insights into the linkage between the rule of law and environmental sustainability themes and the associated themes.
