Abstract

Promoting human development and economic growth in tandem with sustainable practices progress towards long-term sustainable development. This study examines the refined interactions that affect human development (HD) and economic progress (GDP) in developing nations. The study uses panel data from 30 developing countries from 2001 to 2022 to examine how energy availability, climate change, governance, ICT, clean fuels and technology access, green innovation, health and education expenditures, and renewable energy use affect HD and GDP. The findings show relationships, including the negative influence of governance on HD and GDP, the positive effect of governance interacting with energy efficiency on both HD and GDP, and the varied impacts of factors like energy availability, clean technologies, and GDP. Notably, green innovation technologies exhibit a particulary profound positive impact on both HD and GDP. The evidence indicates that public spending on health and education has a positive, yet moderate, impact both on HD and GDP. Policy implications highlight the critical need to bolster governance for improved human development and economic growth in the developing world, alongside fiscal expenditure and investments in clean energy and innovation to drive sustainable progress.
