What the paper says

This study examines the impact of human capital on the adoption of clean cooking fuel in BRICS nations during the period 1990–2023. Utilizing several panel data tests, the findings indicate that human capital enhances the use of clean cooking fuels in BRICS countries. Furthermore, women’s economic empowerment and GDP per capita have a positive effect on clean cooking fuel adoption. These results underscore the importance of human capital, GDP per capita, and women’s economic empowerment in advancing inclusive and sustainable energy practices across BRICS nations.
