The present study provides a macro-level framework for gender issues and their link to energy policies and environmental quality, in line with the sustainable development goals (SDG). It examines the relationship between environmental sustainability, gender equality in education, energy consumption, and sub-Saharan Africa's income by using cointegration analysis and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method. The study's estimation results are consistent with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and policy actions suggested by eco-feminist theories in both the short-run and long-run and show that gender equality in education has positively related to environmental sustainability in sub-Saharan Africa.
本研究提供了一个宏观层面的框架，探讨了性别问题及其与能源政策和环境质量的关系，符合可持续发展目标（SDG）。本文使用协整分析和自回归分布滞后（ARDL）方法，考察了环境可持续性、教育性别平等、能源消费与撒哈拉以南非洲收入之间的关系。研究结果表明，在短期和长期内，教育性别平等与撒哈拉以南非洲的环境可持续性呈正相关，与环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）假说和生态女性主义理论所建议的政策措施一致。
