South Africa, like most developing nations, is confronted with choosing between the need to advance their economy and the need to protect the environment. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs-7, 11, 12 & 13) provide a strong foundation for this investigation. To this end, the current research investigates the combined impacts of economic policy uncertainty, fiscal decentralization, and green innovation on environmental sustainability for the instance of South Africa with yearly frequency data from 1960 to 2020.

In order to achieve Agenda 2030, we need to get the economic incentives right and make sure to leave no one behind. In other words, we need a transformation towards an inclusive green economy. Such transformation requires increased knowledge of, and capacity to apply, policy instruments such as bans, taxes, fees, subsidies, permits, and refund systems that generate incentives for an inclusive green economy. The Inclusive Green Economy (IGE) Program aims to strengthen the country and regional capacity of green economy transformation in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.
