Abstract

The atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions have increased since last few years in Afghanistan. This increasing trend in carbon emissions may cause global warming, climate change and environmental pollution. Consequently, these indicated threats may suffer human life and ecological conditions in near future. Therefore, this study examines the impacts of globalization, economic growth, population and urbanization on carbon emissions in Afghanistan using annual time series data for the period 1990 – 2020. The study used the Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillips–Perron unit root tests, the Breusch – Godfrey serial correlation Lagrange multiplier (LM) test and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test to examine the short and long-run relationship of globalization, economic growth, population and urbanization with carbon emissions. The empirical results show that globalization, economic growth and population have a significant positive short and long-run relationship with carbon emissions. While urbanization has a significant short-run negative and long-run positive relationship with carbon emissions. Based on results, it is highly recommended that government should design environment friendly policies related to globalization, economic growth, population and urbanization to reduce environmental pollution in Afghanistan.
