Abstract

This study investigates the impact of good governance on human development, focusing on the mediating role of energy justice and analyzing data from 62 low- and lower-middle-income (LLMI) countries from 2001 to 2020. Using FE and RE models, CCR, and FMOLS approaches, the findings demonstrate that good governance significantly enhances human development and fosters equitable access to energy. The Sobel test confirms that energy justice mediates the relationship between human development and good governance. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers in LLMI nations, outlining how good governance can accelerate human development and contribute to achieving the SDGs.
