This paper revisits the role of natural resource rent in explaining and regulating CO 2  emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Three variants of CO 2  emissions are considered: territorial CO 2  emissions, consumption-based CO 2  emissions, and CO 2  emission intensity. Panel-corrected standard error and panel autoregressive distributed lag estimation methods were applied. Results show that natural resource rent has a positive effect on consumption-based CO 2  emissions, and a negative effect on CO 2  emission intensity, but has no effect on territorial CO 2  emissions. The results show that while high resource rent in SSA appears to finance consumption of pollution-laden imported goods, it worsens neither territorial CO 2  emissions nor CO 2  emission intensity. Given that importation of dirty goods is an economic system failure which is not imputable to resource rent, it is safe to conclude that, resource rent does not contribute to rising CO 2  emissions in SSA.
