أثر انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون على النمو الاقتصادي في المملكة العربية السعودية خلال الفترة 1980-2018

Abstract EN

This research aims to studying the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and measuring the impact of emission indicators represented by fossil fuel energy consumption, electric energy consumption, and agriculture production.

The study covers the time period 1980-2018 and using ARDL model.

the results of the study consider that there is a complementarity and balanced relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, fossil fuel energy consumption, electric energy consumption, agricultural production and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the long term, , and the existence of an inverse relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, electric energy consumption and GDP in the long term.

Also, it exists a positive relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and GDP was found in the short term.

The study recommended the inclusion of environmental factors when designing economic growth policies given the reciprocal relationship of both the economy and the environment.

the study also recommends that countries must investing in renewable energy sources in exchange for rationalizing the use of fossil fuel energy and other non-renewable resources that lead to carbon dioxide emissions in order to ensure sustainable growth for both the economy and the environment.

It also advocates working to raise community awareness of reducing the factors that lead to carbon dioxide emissions to reduce pollution and gas emissions
