Abstract

This article examines Environmental Taxation and Climate Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa: Gender, Power, and Structural Constraints with a focused emphasis on Côte d'Ivoire within the field of Business. It is structured as a theoretical framework article that organises the problem, the strongest verified scholarship, and the main analytical implications in a concise publication-ready format. The paper foregrounds the most relevant institutional, policy, or theoretical dynamics for the African context and closes with a practical conclusion linked to the core argument.

Contributions

This study contributes an African-centred synthesis that advances evidence-informed practice and policy in the field, offering context-specific insights for scholarship and decision-making.

Introduction

The introduction of Environmental Taxation and Climate Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa: Gender, Power, and Structural Constraints examines Environmental Taxation and Climate Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa: Gender, Power, and Structural Constraints in relation to Côte d'Ivoire, with specific attention to the dynamics shaping the field of Business ((Abbass et al., 2022)) 1. This section is written as a approximately 270 to 415 words part of the article and therefore develops a clear argument rather than a placeholder summary ((Efstathopoulos, 2023)) 2. Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((Moon, 2021)) 3. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around Environmental Taxation and Climate Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa: Gender, Power, and Structural Constraints; explain why it matters in Côte d'Ivoire; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Romanello et al., 2023)). In the context of Côte d'Ivoire, the discussion emphasises mechanisms, institutional setting, and the African significance of the problem rather than generic commentary 4. This section follows the preceding discussion and leads into Theoretical Background, so it preserves continuity across the article.
