Role of human capital, income inequality and renewable energy consumption on Co2 mitigation in Malaysia

The present research endeavours to investigate the interconnection among human capital, income inequality, renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and pollution. The ultimate objective is to identify effective policy approaches by uncovering empirical findings. This study employs the innovati...
