文摘

Significant GDP-biomass energy-pollution nexus was found in some West African countries analysed. There are partial significant links among the variables in the rest of the countries analysed. Significant links among the variables was also discovered for the panel of the West African countries. Economic growth in West Africa is highly energy-intensive with the associated pollution problem. Adoption of energy-efficient technologies and clean energy are imperative for sustainable growth.
