Abstract: The improvement of human well-being is the fundamental objective of the scramble for environmental sustainability. This study aims to investigate the effect of environmental sustainability on inclusive human development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through the application of a system-GMM to a sample of 49 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2010 to 2017, we found a positive and statistically significant effect of environmental sustainability on inclusive human development in Sub-Saharan countries. Thus, by growing environmentally friendly trees, employing organic manure, and refraining from farming methods that contaminate the environment and expose the soil to erosion, the people of Sub-Saharan Africa should join the global fight for environmental sustainability.
