Article Synopsis
- The study examines how economic growth, foreign direct investment (FDI), and oil prices affect carbon emissions in Pakistan from 1971 to 2014, using various econometric methodologies.
- Findings confirm the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, indicating that while economic growth and FDI increase emissions in both the short and long run, high oil prices initially increase emissions but reduce them over time.
- Policy implications suggest that Pakistan should focus on diversifying its energy sources towards renewables and implementing carbon pricing to meet environmental targets and reduce emissions.
