Between 20, the child and youth population in the region is expected to more than double to 945 million, with declines expected in other regions of the world. The results reveal a positive relationship between economic growth and environmental quality and sustainability. The report notes implications of climate change for children in sub-Saharan Africa are enormous as young people make up 63 per cent of the population in this region. The study examines the impact of economic growth and globalization on environmental quality and sustainability proxied by carbon dioxide emissions and Adjusted National Savings respectively as well as the satisfaction of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis for 36 Sub-Saharan African countries using panel data for the period 1990 to 2013 and the system General Method of Moments estimation technique.
