Over the last few decades attention has shifted towards the multifaceted issues contained within the concept of sustainable development which emphasises promoting the well-being of the present generation without compromising the well-being of future generations. The debate over the linkages between poverty and the environment in both the literature and policy contexts has reached two opposing viewpoints: the first points out that poor people are the main agents for environmental degradation due to lack of resources and their struggle to ensure day-to-day basic needs. The second view point regards poor people as the victims of environmental degradation rather than the cause and stresses that economic growth (income per capita) is the major cause of environmental degradation. In this context there is an urgent need for good governance to integrate public, government and environment for the aim of reducing poverty and improving sustainability The purpose of this paper is to attempt to investigate the causal relationships between poverty, governance and sustainability combining growth and poverty models with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model considering the role of institutional quality using a panel of 59 countries over the period 1996-2008 . |
