<title>Abstract</title> This investigation analysed the effect of renewable energy incentive policies on deaths caused by outdoor and indoor air pollution in fifteen countries from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region over the period from 1990 to 2017. The results from the Panel quantile model regression showed that in the 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 quantiles, the variables carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption from new renewable energy sources economic instruments-fiscal/financial incentives policies to enable clean energy deployment, economic growth, and social globalisation reduces the air pollution deaths, while the variables electricity consumption from non-renewable energy sources, urbanisation, and economic globalisation encourages the increase of these deaths caused by outdoor and indoor air pollution in the LAC region.
