“…The positioning of the paper also departs from recent literature on environment sustainability which has focused primarily on: decomposing inequality in CO 2 emissions that are related to energy (Chen et al, 2017); the conduciveness of CO 2 -related to plastic products (Van Heek et al, 2017); CO 2 abatement and renewable energy (Marcantonini & Valero, 2017); economic impacts from the implementation of programmes on energy efficiency (Martinez et al, 2017) and computation of CO 2 emissions within an added value framework (Xu et al, 2017).…”

This study investigates how information and communication technology (ICT) complements globalisation in order to influence CO emissions in 44 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2000-2012. ICT is measured with internet penetration and mobile phone penetration whereas globalisation is designated in terms of trade and financial openness. The empirical evidence is based on the generalised method of moments. The findings broadly show that ICT can be employed to dampen the potentially negative effect of globalisation on environmental degradation like CO emissions. Practical, policy and theoretical implications are discussed.

“…recalculating CO 2 emissions from an added value perspective (Xu et al, 2017); examining CO 2 emissions and economic effects of implementing energy efficient programs (Martinez et al, 2017); renewable energy and CO 2 abatement (Marcantonini & Valero, 2017); acceptance of CO 2 -utilisation for plastic products (Van Heek et al, 2017) and decomposing inequality in energy-oriented CO 2 emissions (Chen et al, 2017). The last study is closest to the present paper because it directly engages inclusive development.…”

(ii) ICT interacts with CO 2 intensity to negatively affect inclusive human development and (iii) the net effect on inclusive human development is positive from the complementarity between mobile phones and CO 2 emissions per capita. Conversely, we also establish evidence of net negative effects. Fortunately, the corresponding ICT thresholds at which these net negative effects can be completely dampened are within policy range, notably: 50 (per 100 people) mobile phone penetration for CO 2 emissions from liquid fuel consumption and CO 2 intensity.Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

“…The positioning of this inquiry steers clear of recent energy policy studies on CO 2 emissions which have largely focused on: recalculating CO 2 emissions from an added value perspective (Xu et al, 2017); examining CO 2 emissions and economic effects of implementing energy efficient programs (Martinez et al, 2017); renewable energy and CO 2 abatement (Marcantonini & Valero, 2017); acceptance of CO 2 -utilisation for plastic products (Van Heek et al, 2017) and decomposing inequality in energy-oriented CO 2 emissions (Chen et al, 2017).
