Does energy consumption contribute to climate change? Evidence from major regions of the world

摘要: Abstract This study is a contribution to the on-going debate over whether there relationship between energy consumption and climatic change variables, although developed regions are among most intensive economies in world, little attention has been paid features of their variations. Therefore, this empirically investigates two variables dynamic five broader world i.e., South Asia, Middle East North Africa (MENA region), Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Pacific aggregate data World. The major include atmospheric, topographic, living organisms threatened; water system growth factors used investigate energy–climate nexus period 1975–2011. results indicate that exists long-run equilibrium which shows variations due changes different world.
