  ABSTRACT: This study examines the impact of urbanization on environmental degradation in Cote d’Ivoire. Unlike most existing studies that focused on carbon dioxide emissions, this study uses ecological footprint, which is a broader indicator of environmental degradation. Annual time series covering the period 1970-2021 are analyzed through ARDL, Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) and Fully Modified Least Square (FMOLS) methods. The results prove that urbanization contributes to environmental degradation in Cote d’Ivoire by increasing ecological footprint. Besides, the results provide support for the EKC hypothesis. Further, there are casual relationships running from urbanization and economic growth to ecological footprint. The study suggests policies that can help mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization on ecological sustainability in Cote d’Ivoire.
