Environmental Pollution and Health Dynamics in Developing Nations
Do Carbon Emission, Economic Growth and Renewable Energy Matter?

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21610547Abstract
Ensuring lifespan and good health became a hot concern for academics and governments. The literature has addressed a number of determinants, including socioeconomic factors. However, there are few empirical research on this topic in developing nations with low health indicators, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, and Indonesia. This project looks at how economic growth, environmental degradation, and renewable energy affect life expectancy between 1991 and 2023. The Granger Casualty Method is used in this investigation. The research findings showed that economic development and renewable energy are statistically significant, but environmental pollution is not. The life expectancy is positively impacted by economic growth and renewable energy, in addition to increasing marginal effects. Additionally, there is indication of a causal affiliation amid naturallife prospect and fiscal evolution, environmental pollution, and renewable energy. In order to increase people's longevity, the study recommends making a financial adjustment to address health-related issues brought on by a lack of medical facilities and deprived cleanness. Because they will enhance fitness results without sacrificing monetary progress, clean energy investments are essential.
