AB  - The core intent of the present study seeks to probe the connection linking 
      environmental technology innovation (ENVTI), economic growth (ECG), financial 
      development (FID), trade openness (TROP), urbanization (URB) and energy 
      consumption (ENC) on environmental pollution (ENVP) by employing 27 chosen 
      African economies panel data. These variables merit critical attention when 
      implementing decarbonization policies and significantly safeguarding a country's 
      well-being in pursuit of massive industrialization and economic expansion. The 
      fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), the dynamic ordinary least square 
      (DOLS), and the pooled mean group (PMG) estimation techniques were utilized to 
      analyze the series from 2000 through 2020. This research used the FMOLS for 
      long-run connections interaction of the variables, while the DOLS and PMG were 
      used for robustness checks. Further, the Pedroni, Kao, and Westerlund 
      cointegration approaches were employed to determine cointegration in the series. 
      Also, the cross-sectional Im, Pesaran, and Shin (CIPS) and the cross-sectional 
      augmented Dickey-Fuller (CADF) unit root testing approaches were utilized to 
      check the stationarity of the series. Again, the stochastic impact on regression, 
      population, affluence, and technology (STIRPAT) model, and the environmental 
      Kuznets curve (EKC) was used as the theoretical framework supporting this 
      research. The findings of the long-run analysis give credence to the EKC 
      assumption demonstrating that a significant long-term ECG will support the 
      decrease in ENVP when nations experience increases in the level of income. 
      Further, this study found that ENVTI and URB are conducive to reducing ENVP in 
      the long run. The current research finding is sensitive to the respective 
      nations' income levels. This empirical research furnishes prudent policies 
      tailored for the respective countries' pursuit of ECG and reducing ENVP.
