Abstract
This study focused on the empirical examination of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in West Africa and tried to discover whether or not the EKC held in West Africa for carbon emissions (CO2) which is an indicator of environmental quality. The study included the entire sixteen countries located in the West African region and spanned the time period from 1980-2012. The panel data estimation technique was carried out and the result generated from our analysis was that of the fixed effects estimation. The results generated also concluded that there is the presence of EKC in West African countries for the carbon emissions indicator of environmental quality. Improvement in the quality of education in West African countries was discovered to be one of the policies which could help reduce environmental degradation in the West African region.
