摘要: This study investigates the presence of environmental kuznets curve (EKC) for green house gases (GHG) measured by CO2 emission in Malaysia period 1970 to 2011. The also examines potential renewable source energy contain GHG. long-run significant positive coefficient GDP indicates that GHG are increasing with economic growth while insignificant on square rejects EKC transition. These results indicate a high level turning point Malaysia. Therefore, it can be stated only cannot reverse degradation government should have come up some policy measures achieve reduction targets has pledged Paris Submit (2015). production is found negative effect emission. So focus and frame special production.
