Abstract
The study aims to investigate the link between CO2 emissions and economic growth in Afghanistan. Carbon dioxide emission, energy use, foreign direct investment, trade liberalization, and human capital were selected as independent variables while economic growth was selected as a dependent variable. The study collected data from 2018 to 2022 a total of 5 years. Data was collected from the world’s bank development indicators. Furthermore, the study used ARDL regression for long-term Cointegration. The results reflect that carbon dioxide emissions, foreign direct investment, and labor have a positive significant impact on the economic growth of Afghanistan. However, energy consumption and trade openness were found insignificant towards economic growth. These results suggest that, in the context of Afghanistan, a symbiotic relationship exists between economic expansion and the variables of carbon emissions, foreign direct investment, and labor.
