ABSTRACT:
Environmental issues have gradually become the primary concern of all countries in the world, and have developed all kinds of environmental controls and policy standards, at the same time, the concept of green consumption and environmental protection are increasingly popular, in this paper, Based on the panel data gotten from WDI 2020,we examined the effects of Environmental degradation on Technological innovations in the Congo basin using the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) method of estimation, we find out that, environmental degradation positively contributes to technological innovation. This therefore highlights the urgency for the government of the respective countries of the Congo basin to strengthen environmental policies so as to benefit from environmentally friendly technologies.
