摘要: There is a glaring concern of income inequality in the light post-2015 global development agenda sustainable goals (SDGs), especially for countries that are south Sahara. also concerns over present and future consequences environmental degradation on outcomes sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study provides carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions thresholds should be avoided nexus between financial panel 39 SSA period 2004-2014. Quantile regressions used as an empirical strategy. The following findings established. Financial unconditionally decreases with increasing negative magnitude while interactions CO2 have opposite effect positive magnitude. underlying nexuses significant exclusively median top quantiles distribution. emission not exceeded order to continuously reduce 0.222, 0.200 0.166 metric tons per capita median, 75th quantile 90th distribution, respectively. Policy implications discussed particular relevance Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
