摘要：The purpose of this paper is to examine the long-run equilibrium between green growth and some environmental variables like deforestation, energy depletion and carbon dioxide ) emissions in Nigeria from 1980 to 2015. To examine these long-run linkages, the study adopted the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) bound testing approach to cointegration. The bound testing approach shows an evidence of a negative long-run relationship between carbon dioxide emission and environmental depletion and renewable energy which stand as the proxy for green growth variable. Inversely, a positive long-run relationship exists between green growth variable and deforestation. Generally, this paper submits that efficient investment in green growth technologies and policies in Nigeria will assist to ensure a sustainable environment. Keywords : Green growth, Sustainable environment, Carbon emission, Energy depletion, Nigeria JEL Classifications: Q56, Q58
