Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of natural resources, renewable energy, and economic growth on CO2 emission in Malaysia. Due to the increase in industrialization the state of Malaysia faces significant problems such as environmental pollution. In this study time series data has been used and the ARIMA equation has been used by the researcher in this study. The researcher collected the data from the year 1988 to 2017. The outcomes of the study suggest that natural resources and economic growth have a positive impact on CO2 emissions, while renewable energy has a negative impact on CO2 emissions. No scholar has examined the effect of natural resources, renewable resources and economic growth on CO2 emissions in Malaysia. So this study will enrich the information and literature in the context of Malaysia. Future scholars should include more variables such as non-renewable energy sources, SO2 and NOX emissions.

Highlights

  • In accordance with the researcher, Destek and Sarkodie (2019) alterations in the climate have become an important subject for argument all across the globe and a worldwide phenomenon because of the danger to sustainable growth and development

  • Hypothesis 3: Economic Growth has a significant effect on CO2 emissions

  • To collect the data on natural resources, renewable energy, economic growth, and CO2 emissions the author of this article used the data from the period of 1988 to 2017

Summary

Introduction

In accordance with the researcher, Destek and Sarkodie (2019) alterations in the climate have become an important subject for argument all across the globe and a worldwide phenomenon because of the danger to sustainable growth and development. From the past few years, due to expansion and industrial development, the globe has experienced substantial economic development and growth. Malaysia, China, South Africa, India, Brazil, and Russia has perceived histrionic growth in the rate of (Gross Domestic Product [GDP]) GDP because of the prompt industrialization (Begum et al, 2015). At a greater level of economic growth, equipment, technology, demanding ecological systems, and economy’s physical alteration, fluctuating from industries such as from contamination to the sector of service like info interchange lessen the ecological contamination (Destek and Sarkodie, 2019). The researcher Wu and Chen (2017) stated that an extensive utilization of natural resources because of greater economic growth increases severe ecological problems
