dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aims to examine the interplay between renewable energy consumption, carbon footprints, natural resources depletion and economic growth. Design/methodology/approach: It engaged 45 African countries using the generalized method of moments (GMM) approach. Data from the World Development Indicators for the period 2000?2023 are used to analyse the relationships among these variables. Findings: The result indicates a positive and significant effect of greenhouse gas emissions on economic growth in all regions of Africa, except for Southern Africa. Regarding the depletion of natural resources, the authors observe a dominant negative effect on economic growth. Thus, an increase in the depletion of natural resources contributes to the reduction of economic growth in most regions of Africa, notably West Africa, East Africa and sub-Saharan Africa as a whole. Moreover, the depletion of natural resources can also have negative social impacts, such as conflicts over access to remaining resources, which can indirectly influence economic stability and growth. Originality/value: This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the positive effects of renewable energy consumption on carbon footprints, natural resource depletion and economic growth. By quantifying these relationships, the study offers valuable insights into the potential of renewable energy to address pressing environmental and economic challenges. ? 2024, Emerald Publishing Limited.en_US
