ABSTRACT Nigeria faces significant environmental and health risks due to rapid Waste Electrical Electronics Equipment (WEEE) generation, estimated at 500,000 tons annually. This systematic review analyses the situation of WEEE in Nigeria, examining existing policies, regulations, emerging technologies for sustainable recycling. The analysis reveals gaps legislation, inadequate infrastructure, primitive recycling methods, resulting severe pollution risks. Emerging technologies, such as waste‐to‐energy conversion, circular economy approaches, offer potential solutions. evaluates these technologies' effectiveness sustainability Nigerian context. Recommendations policy reforms, technological innovations, stakeholder engagement are provided inform evidence‐based decision‐making promote practices Nigeria.

This research investigates the effects of renewable (REC) and disaggregated non-renewable energy consumption (coal, oil, natural gas) on CO2 emissions (CO2) in GCC countries, employing STIRPAT model. The also compares impact various (NREC) sources to identify their contributions emissions. Demographic factors like population economic growth are considered main determinants CO2. Panel data econometric methods used, including diagnostic tests unit root tests, found long-run relationships among variables. study reveals significant positive associations between coal, gas, oil CO2, with having highest impact. Conversely, REC shows a negative correlation Economic linked increased findings emphasize need for strategies promoting usage, efficiency, public transportation, carbon pricing, green technologies alleviate enhance sustainable development countries.
