Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between income, gender inequality, and greenhouse gas emissions in EU-27 countries from 2002 to 2020. The aim was to contribute to global climate change mitigation. The results indicate that, as the Gini index increases, emissions decrease. However, the impact of the gender pay gap is limited to higher quantiles and positively related to emissions. Other factors, such as GDP per capita, globalisation index, urban population, human capital index, foreign direct investment, and renewable energy consumption, have varying effects on emissions. These findings can be useful for formulating economic and environmental policies.
