“…Clean energy solutions in rural locations have the potential to power vital services, including schools and healthcare facilities. As a result, this has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for the occupants [13,22,26,28,36,83]. Furthermore, providing electricity catalyzes the enhancement of communication, education, and skill acquisition, thereby substantially contributing to endeavors focused on poverty reduction.…”

“…Poverty is often linked to a lack of education, social capital, and gender, racial, and ethnic disparities. By understanding the impact of poverty on the economy and its determinants, policymakers can address the issue more effectively, helping to reduce poverty and promote economic growth [1,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…This is because poverty can be caused by environmental degradation. However, it can also be caused by economic factors that are beyond the control of a country's government or people [13,25,26]. For example, suppose a country has an agriculture-based economy and no suitable land for growing crops.…”

This research delves into the intricate interconnections among financial inclusion, the adoption of renewable energy, environmental resilience, and poverty reduction in low-income countries (LICs), lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), in light of complex issues such as poverty, environmental degradation, and sustainable development. This work comprehensively understands the interaction between these crucial factors by utilizing a dynamic panel model, specifically Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression (DSUR), CUP-FM, and CUP-BC. The empirical analysis conducted in our study has produced findings that are both significant and noteworthy. Financial inclusion pertains to facilitating formal financial services for demographic segments that have historically been marginalized or excluded. A negative relationship between financial inclusion and poverty levels in low-income countries (LICs), lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been observed. Moreover, there is an inverse correlation between the utilization of renewable energy sources and poverty, indicating that the utilization of renewable energy sources possesses the potential to catalyze the enhancement of economic conditions and overall welfare. However, it is important to note that the correlation between environmental deterioration and poverty underscores the urgent necessity for implementing comprehensive policies that address sustainability and poverty reduction. The results above shed light on the potential for governmental interventions to promote positive transformations. Improving endeavors to achieve financial inclusion holds the capacity to empower individuals and businesses alike, fostering economic progress and alleviating poverty. Renewable energy technology is progressively acknowledged as a viable strategy to promote economic advancement and tackle environmental issues simultaneously. It is of utmost importance to establish comprehensive policy frameworks that effectively tackle the intricate interplay between environmental degradation and poverty to create a future that is both sustainable and egalitarian.

“…On the one hand, the urban landscape presents opportunities for heightened adoption of renewable energy sources, driven by embracing sustainable building practices, eco-conscious architectural designs, and integrating renewable technologies within urban settings. Think of it as cities embracing greener alternatives, like rooftop solar panels or wind turbines nestled among skyscrapers, to power their bustling cores [21][22][23][24].…”

Energy and economic policies should include the intricate interconnections among urbanization, trade openness, industry, and the utilization of renewable energy. This study investigates the intricate connections among nations involved in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The study employed panel econometric techniques, including DSUR, Cup-BC, and CUP-FM, to document independent variables' elasticities. Study findings suggest that urbanization is initially negatively correlated with renewable energy consumption (REC) because of the rising demand for energy, particularly non-renewable sources. Urbanization beyond a certain threshold fosters renewable energy, showcasing the positive effects of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The influence of urbanization on energy use has changed throughout time. Furthermore, there is an initial positive relationship between trade openness and REC, indicating that adopting liberalized trade policies encourages the use of clean energy. Nevertheless, over time, this connection becomes less strong, suggesting a critical moment when the promotion of trade openness may lead to an increase in the use of non-renewable resources. Industrialization first stimulates the need for traditional energy sources but ultimately encourages using renewable energy. The U-invert connection demonstrates the interplay between industrialization and energy consumption patterns, emphasizing the need for flexible policies. Our study assists policymakers and stakeholders in effectively addressing energy sustainability concerns related to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
