Despite the growing scholarly attention concerning the effect of economic complexity (ECI) on inclusive growth and the environment, there remain some pertinent gaps in the literature. First, previous studies have not explored the effect of ECI on inclusive green growth (IGG). Second, prior...

Tracking the progress of countries in inclusive green growth (IGG) is crucial for shaping effective sustainable development policies. However, comprehensive IGG data is often inaccessible. Accordingly, rigorous empirical contributions in this direction in the context of Africa remain sparse. To...

Progress in energy equity, income equality, and environmental quality are fundamental to sustainable development. However, studies providing evidence-based recommendations concerning the joint effect of energy equity and income inequality on environmental sustainability in Africa are lacking....
