“…Whereas, Balsalobre-Lorente and Leitao (2020), alludes that economic growth is positively correlated with CE in the EU-28 region. In a study of 35 African countries, a bidirectional relationship between economic growth and CE exists, Boukhelkhal (2021). Moreover, in Morocco during the period 1990-2014, Bouyghrissi, Berjaoui and Khanniba (2021) observed a signi cant effect from economic growth to CE.…”

“…Moreover, Balsalobre-Lorente and Leitao (2020) alludes that greenhouse gas and climate change are directly correlated with growth in the EU-28, whereas Bakhsh, Akmal, Ahmad and Abbas (2022), alludes that Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions is related signi cantly with energy consumption, in Pakistan. In the case of 35 African countries, Boukhelkhal (2021), provides that NRE causes environmental degradation. On the other hand, Adedoyin, Abubakar, Bekun and Sarkadie (2020), provides that environmental degradation across the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and New Member States (NMS) blocks is different.…”

“…Inasmuch as NRE causes CE and hence environmental degradation, it is observed to increase economic growth. Boukhelkhal (2021) in the 35 African countries from 1980-2016 observed a bidirectional relationship between economic growth and the consumption of NRE. Moreover, Afroz and Muhibbullah (2022) observed that in Malaysia during 1980-2018, in the short run and long run, the asymmetric effect of NRE consumption on economic growth is con rmed.…”

“…The negative and neutral effect of NRE on economic growth is due to the shift to the use of RE which is friendly to the environment. NRE causes environmental degradation (Boukhelkhal, 2021;Asif, et al, 2021), RE reduces CE (Akadiri & Adebayo, 2022;Bhat, 2018;Akram, et al, 2022), and RE improves the quality of the environment (Balsalobre-Lorente & Leitao, 2020). Therefore, to promote both environmental quality and economic growth it is encouraged to resort to the use of RE than NRE.…”

The vast usage of sources of energy that pollute the environment has caused major problems of global warming in the world. Global warming and greenhouse effect causes droughts, hunger and starvation among many other health problems. In this research the effect of energy use, economic, growth and renewable energy on carbon emissions in the European Union region from 1990-2019 is examined. The current study differs from previous researches done in this region, in that it speci es in the model "effective capital", which is the interaction between energy and capital (a product of energy and capital).Effective capital is inevitable in the production process, because physical capital such as machinery, without power or energy to fuel it, is dysfunctional. The current research employs the Generalized Method of Moments which is strong over endogeneity and overcomes heteroskedasticity, serial and autocorrelation problems for robust results. The ndings of this research support past studies that renewable energy reduces carbon emissions and Gross Domestic Product exacerbates carbon emissions.Effective capital and energy use are observed to promote carbon emissions, whereas capital and population size reduces carbon emissions in the European Union.

“…Between 1996 and 2014, 23 Sub-Saharan African nations' economies grew in tandem with their carbon emissions [105]. In another study economic growth caused carbon emissions in various 35 African countries from 1980 to 2016 period [106]. Using pooled ordinary least square a nexus between carbon emissions and economic growth was observed in 20 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2020 [107].…”

One of the most affected economies by climate change is the agricultural sector. Climate change measured by temperature and precipitation has an impact on agricultural output, which in turn affects the economy of the sector. It is anticipated that using renewable energy will lower carbon emissions that are directly related to climate change. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), renewable energy usage, and climate change on South Africa’s agricultural sector from 1972 to 2021. The nexus was estimated using an Auto Regressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds test econometric technique. In the short run, findings indicated that climate change reduces agricultural economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions increase as agricultural economic growth increases. The use of renewable energy was insignificant in the short and long run. Carbon dioxide emissions granger causes temperature and renewable energy unilateral. An ARDL analysis was performed to evaluate the short and long-term relationship between agricultural economic growth, climate change, carbon dioxide emissions and renew able energy usage. The study adds new knowledge on the effects of climate change and carbon emissions on the agricultural economy alongside the use of renewable energy which can be used to inform economic policy on climate change and the energy nexus in the agricultural sector. Study findings point to the prioritization of biomass commercialization, rural and commercial farming sector bioenergy regulations and socioeconomic imperatives research is crucial in order to promote inclusive participation in the production of renewable energy.
