Abstract: Abstract This study analyzes the quantile dynamics of control of corruption and political stability from an environmental perspective utilizing annual data for MENA countries spanning 2002–2018. Our findings, which were obtained through detailed quantile regression and bootstrap replications, show the significant moderating effects of political stability, renewable energy sources, and corruption control on environmental outcomes. The study also supports the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis’ application to the MENA region. Particularly, political stability only becomes important at higher quantile levels of environmental degradation, whereas corruption control remains important at all quantile levels. The implications of the findings suggest that policymakers in the MENA region should take a holistic and integrated approach to environmental governance, which includes promoting renewable energy sources and ensuring environmental justice for all segments of society.
