Analysing the Impact of Carbon Emissions and Non-Renewable Energy Use on Infant and Under-5 Mortality Rates in Europe: New Evidence Using Panel Quantile Regression

This study critically examines the health-environment discourse and uses infant under-5 mortality rates, carbon emissions, non-renewable energy to investigate inherent associations. We argue that concentration of greenhouse gas emissions is considered increase can undermine access basic resources necessary for leading a healthy life, such as food, water, health, environment. Environmental health closely linked human health. The world witnessing substantial in which pose significant threat both environment Hence, this contributes with unbalanced panel data on 46 European countries from 2005 2015 impact rates. Consistent findings static dynamic analyses reveal (1) emission positively associated rate; (2) shows negative relationship; (3) persistency rates exists; (4) positive (negative) association (non-renewable energy) dwindles (increases) absolute value at higher distributions rates; (5) Euro Union show lower relative non-Euro members. Policy recommendations are discussed.
