Abstract: The present study examined the factors that determine CO₂ emissions in East Africa. Employing a quantile regression technique, the study specifically analysed data on CO₂ emissions, GDP per capita, electricity consumption, labour force, and urban population in a period from 1989 to 2020. The results show that economic growth and electricity consumption increases CO₂ emissions. It is recommended that policymakers in East Africa adopt and promote renewable energy sources that will help meet the rising demand for electricity by replacing traditional sources, such as coal, gas, and oil.
