Abstract
Economic development requires intensive energy consumption, which has caused severe environmental degradation. Moreover, achieving environmental sustainability is still challenging in developing countries where the environment is experiencing a significant degradation trend. The research aims to evaluate the environmental sustainability and the energy consumption patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa. In doing so, the spatially varying relationship between energy consumption and environmental degradation were considered. The Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) was applied. This research also stands apart from prior ones by incorporating the interdisciplinary theoretical approach the Environmental Kuznets Curve (ECK). The result displays the energy consumption pattern for 2000 and 2022. The findings can contribute to appropriate policies recommendations for energy consumption in African regions.
