Green growth dynamics: unraveling the complex role of financial development and natural resources in shaping renewable energy in Sub-Saharan Africa by Alhasan Osman, Mohd Afjal, Majed Alharthi, Mohamed Elheddad, Nassima Djellouli, Zhang He

“…The findings reveal that while natural resources and financial development generally exert negative impacts on renewable energy consumption when considered in isolation, a significant transformation occurs when these factors interact. Specifically, the detrimental effects of natural resources on renewable energy usage are substantially mitigated by robust financial development, which not only offsets the negative impacts but also promotes renewable energy adoption. …”
