The working-age population is essential to the process of economic growth, and there growing interest in understanding demographic dividend's role sustainable development, particularly response challenge environmental sustainability. routes, however, via which dividend likely affect sustainability, are poorly understood. This paper has provided a new case for better asymmetric effects on sustainability African countries. To this end, we employed Driscoll-Kraay standard error Instrumental Variable Generalized Method Moments (IV-GMM) panel dataset 32 countries from 1996 2018. empirical findings show that deteriorates an increase ecological footprint. results also urbanization, globalization renewable energy reduce However, growth ICT Lastly, our highlight ICT, urbanization FDI channels through affects Therefore, although supporting Africa's contributes some degree pressure.

Purpose The Arab countries have numerous environmental problems, including massive emissions of carbon dioxide, climate change and increasingly high temperatures. Many prior studies explored the various determinants quality. However, few papers offer adequate empirical evidence on role technological innovation financial development in determining To fill this gap, study aims to investigate impact CO 2 emissions, controlling for several factors. Design/methodology/approach sample data cover 10 over a 30-year period. Because existence non-stationarity cointegration, authors use dynamic ordinary least squares fully modified models perform regressions among variables. Findings statistical results reveal that both negatively determine , which implies factors ensure quality region. A developed sector facilitates access funds thus enables adoption cleaner production technologies renewable energy sources. Both reduce degradation. In addition, advanced systems incentivize investment ecofriendly projects promote sustainable practices, fostering conducive environment improving analysis then reveals pollution halo effect foreign direct inflow.
