The Department of Economics at the College of Management and Economics, University of Mosul, discussed on Sunday, August 3, 2025, the master’s thesis titled “Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of Renewable Energy Consumption on Environmental Pollution – A Study of a Selected Group of Countries.” The current study presented by the student “Masra Hazaa Muhammad Sami” in the Department of Economics aimed to: identify the nature of renewable energy and environmental pollution and clarify the relationship between them, as well as measure and analyze the impact of renewable energy consumption on environmental pollution, as expressed by per capita emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) for a selected group of countries. The study concluded with key findings, the most important of which is that renewable energy consumption has an inverse and significant effect on the per capita emissions of CO2 in the long term for the selected countries, and that the variable of renewable energy consumption is the most contributing factor in explaining the variation of the dependent variable error, followed by the other variables.
