摘要

最近，在撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA），与健康有关的问题被归咎于一些环境因素和做法。这些因素进一步加剧了高死亡率，尽管卫生支出有所增加。本研究调查了环境退化和可再生能源消费对该地区人口健康结果的影响。研究使用了 2000 年至 2019 年 45 个撒哈拉以南非洲国家的面板数据，并采用了广义矩量法（GMM）和集合均值组（PMG）回归分析系统。研究结果表明，以二氧化碳排放形式出现的环境退化加剧使人们面临健康危害，从而缩短了预期寿命。另一方面，可再生能源消费是延长预期寿命的主要因素。研究建议采用适当的能源组合，以减少不可再生能源的消耗。

Does Environmental Degradation and Renewable Energy Consumption Influence Health Outcomes?  Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa

Recently, health-related issues have been attributed to some environmental factors and practices in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). These factors have further increased the high mortality rate despite increased spending on health. This study investigates the impact of environmental degradation and renewable energy consumption on the health outcomes of the population in the region. The study used a panel of 45 SSA countries from 2000 to 2019 and employed the generalized method of moments (GMM) and pooled mean group (PMG) regression analysis system. The findings reveal that increased environmental degradation in the form of CO2 emissions exposes people to health hazards, thus reducing their life expectancy. Renewable energy consumption, on the other hand, is a major contributor to the increase in life expectancy. The study recommends adopting the appropriate energy mix to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energy.
