本研究は、1990年から2022年までのアフリカ5カ国を対象に、経済政策の不確実性、再生可能エネルギー転換、環境技術、環境ガバナンスがカーボンニュートラル目標に与える影響を分析した。FMOLS、DOLS、固定効果回帰を用いた結果、再生可能エネルギー転換はCNEを促進するが、環境ガバナンスや技術、政策不確実性は阻害要因となることが示された。グレンジャー因果分析では変数間の因果関係も確認された。
English
This study examines the effects of economic policy uncertainty, renewable energy transition, environmental technology, and environmental governance on carbon neutrality (CNE) in five African nations from 1990 to 2022. Using FMOLS, DOLS, and fixed effects regressions, it finds that renewable energy transition enhances CNE, while environmental governance, technology, and policy uncertainties hinder progress. Pairwise Granger causality reveals unidirectional and bidirectional causal links among variables. The paper offers policy recommendations for fostering resilience and ecological quality in Africa.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT As climate change and environmental deterioration continue to escalate due to substantial CO 2 emissions, nations worldwide are implementing approaches to alleviate CO 2 emissions and accomplish carbon neutrality (CNE) goals. The current study examined CNE objectives for five selected nations in Africa, spanning from 1990 to 2022. This paper assessed the effects of economic policy uncertainty (EPU), renewable energy transition (RET), environmental technology (ENT), and environmental governance (ENG) on CNE. The paper employed the Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS), DOLS, as well as the Fixed Effects regressions. The findings of the paper show that RET assists in enhancing the CNE objectives in the chosen five African countries. Furthermore, the paper's results show that ENG, ENT, and environmental policy uncertainties are disruptive to CNE progress. Accordingly, the pairwise Granger causality outcomes indicated a unidirectional causality between ENG, ENT, and CNE, whereas there exists a bidirectional causality between EPU, RET, and CNE. Lastly, this research offers policymakers, governments, and stakeholders with valuable recommendations and insights for fostering resilience and ecological quality in the understudied African region.
